SCANDINAVIAN
menus €34-52, mains €18-38.50; noon-11pm Mon, noon-midnight Tue-Thu, noon-1am Fri & Sat,
3-10pm Sun)
Subtlety is run through with a berserker's broadsword at this over-the-top Viking restaur-
ant, which serves dishes such as roast ox on a plank, 'witch of the north' reindeer or tar ice
cream with cognac. Set menus (or Voyages as they're called here) are filling three-course
samplers. It's not exactly gourmet, but it is great fun.

ones include the upmarket

Panimoravintola Koulu
BREWPUB
In a former school complete with inkwells, desks and a playground-turned-summer beer
garden, this fantastic brewpub only serves its own brews - around five lager-style beers
that change with the seasons, and a couple of interesting ciders flavoured with tart cranber-
ries and blackcurrants. The exception is the whisky collection, with 75 or so to sample.
Upstairs, there's an excellent, kid-friendly restaurant.
Cosmic Comic Café
BAR
4pm-2am Sun)
This fab late-night haunt is a fanboy's dream - comics paper the walls and you can browse
its huge (mostly English-language) collection. Over 70 different kinds of beer and 25
ciders rotate on the eclectic menu. Occasional live music.
