Classic, the most iconic and still the best place for breakfast for me. Food is honest, simply and just well made - even when you just want to go with porridge

Girişi biraz zor bulunuyor olsa da kesinlikle gidilmesi gereken kafe/restoranlardan biri. Katedral ve meydan manzarası harika, yemekler ve tatlılar çok lezzetli. Fiyatlar Finlandiya standartlarına göre normal. Servis ise ilgili ancak biraz daha hızlı olabilir. Kısa seyahatimizde bile iki kez uğradık.

The salmon soup was great, the spinach cuiche too. Good coffee that could have been a touch stronger.
