It's a surprise to find this artfully modern designer place here: a reindeer pelt collage on the
grey concrete wall is the only concession to place. Modish black and white makes a stylish
haunt for creative cocktails, espressos, hot chocolate and a very tasty selection of salads,
tapas portions plus sweet and savoury waffles.

There's much more English than Finnish heard at this popular central restaurant, with an
attractive interior and a Lapland theme. The food's tasty rather than gourmet, but uses
toothsome local ingredients, with things like reindeer, lake fish, wild mushrooms and ber-
ries creating appealing northern flavours. The overpriced wine list needs work.
