Went early dinner with family last weekend, the servers noticed that we have a small kid with us, advice us to put him sit in arm chair instead of the sofa that are higher level towards the table, and give him cushion at his back so the chair is not too much of emtpy space and he can rest his back on it. I found usually restaurant always pretentious and not children friendly but this one definitely not. Exceptional service and detail minded. We have ordered wellington steak, reindeer and kids's burger. They were all well perpared and tasty, Will defitnitely recommend this restaurant to travelersThan you for you review. We think that every customer is important for us - even the youngest. Welcome again!

We, along with apparently many others celebrating winter graduation day for high school students, celebrated with dinner at the Hotel Tourniâs Grill It restaurant. Thereâs lots of good to share; we loved the open kitchen, where steaks and burgers were cooked over an open fire, and it was fun to watch the mostly all-female chefs cooking up food. Inspiring, really. The food was good, too (if pricey for central Finland). And the next door bar did a massive business with truly gorgeous-looking cheeseburgers (for a family event we felt it better to order more formal food, and we loved our skirt steak). Whereâs thereâs big room for improvement is in the service ethic. It was such a slow eveningâ¦took forever to get anywhereâ¦and the worst of it was we could see the chefs taking such care to plate our food just right and it was fresh and beautifully cooked and then it just sat. And sat. And sat. Where was the pick-up? And of course when it was delivered to the table, it was lukewarm. Such a shame and it didnât reflect well on the chefs because if you hadnât watched them, and appreciated the care they took, you would have thought the mediocrity was there fault and not the fault of the restaurantâs operation.More on the service: You had to ask for water replenishment (always a bad sign of a badly run eatery) and even needed to ask to refill a wine glass (it took three tries and the server, kind of defensive at the point, didnât proffer the varietal requested but we were too exhausted to send it back). Even worse, the aâla carte extras werenât delivered, and when asked, he was offensively aggressive, saying âit hadnât come out of the oven yet,â as if the delay was due to a quality effort. Since every other person at the table had gotten their sides, the waiterâs explanation rang false. The other odd thing about this restaurant and bar is that on weekdays it doesnât open until 4 p.m. On a very grim December afternoon, when we arrived at 3:15 p.m., the restaurant and bar, which are by check-in desks so are right in the center of the action, were completely closed. Fortunately thereâs the Sky Bar on the top floor, but seriously, not a welcoming aspect of this hotel. Look, Tampere is just now developing its own food culture, and I want to support it, and clearly the chefs are doing good work. Itâs no good if the operations side of the restaurant is wholly mediocre. Fix it, guys, and youâve got a smash hit. Donât fix it? We wonât be back.

We had a dinner with friends without a reservation. The place was packed, but they were able to give us the last free table, and the service was very good even though they were in a hurry. The wine recommendation for me was spot on, and everyone was pretty content with their food. I would recommend, and we will be going back.

Salud used to be one of the best restaurants in Tampere. During the time of former owner Hannu Wiss, restaurant was our top favourite with its superb menu. This lunch was quite the opposite with tasteless and dry chicken. We'll do much better at home.Hello,Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your dissappointment visiting us at Salud.We will take your feedback into account and try our hardest to reach for the level we are known for.We sincerely hope to see you here again!

This Tampere pub was one of the first "real pubs" in Tampere when it started in 1968.Interestingly enough, the premises housed earlier a milk shop...Now beer,good food an a laid-pack "Tampere-style" atmosphere. Famous for its grilled meat portions, but typical Finnish salmon soup and fried Baltic herring is also available. Although basically a pub there is a friendly waiter service. Not too many tables so especially on busy evenings, a booking is adviseable. Go to their web pages for a nice introductory video!

Traditional Finnish restaurant. Meat, chicken, fish and vegetarian dishes. In summer a covered terrace doubles customer seats. Small and atmospheric restaurant a bit outside the city center.
Reviewed By Petsku83
It was my second visit to this place and the place was as good as last time. The starters are too small and some of the meals are as well but now I took the biggest meat plate and that was filling and great! The french fries are very good with spices on them. They could have a bigger dessert - but only because they are so good that you don`t wanna stop ;)

A quick search in TA under steakhouses and this beauty came out. As a solo traveller itâs sometimes seen as weird to go out to dine. The waiter was very polite and attentive due to me being Welsh and not Finnish. My food came a little time later after dribbling watching other tables receive theirs. I watched the meat get handled, cooked, flame grilled, sliced and served. And boy it was right on. Perfectly cooked, perfectly pink, and perfectly washing down with Heineken. I would 100% come back.
