Kellarikrouvi

6 Pohjoinen Makasiinikatu

About

This restaurant, built in 1901, was originally a storage cellar for potatoes and firewood for the apartment house above it. Since 1965, it has been a cozy restaurant, the first in Finland to serve beer from a keg. Enjoy it at the street-level bar (where you can also dine if you like) before descending a steep staircase to the vaulted labyrinth of the cellar. Here, depending on which room within the vast place you opt for, the ambience can be noisy and animated -- especially on weekends -- or relatively subdued. Your dinner might begin with a terrine of perch followed by pork cutlets with a potato-and-cheese gratin, grilled kidneys in a mustard-cream sauce, reindeer steak with game sauce and roasted potatoes, or fried cubed salmon with root vegetables and whisky sauce. Dessert might consist of a Bavarian-style cream puff stuffed with cloudberries.
