  Cute local restaurant with authentic food and lovely service. The food is delicious and the beer is good. It is a bit pricy, a beer is 8 euros, but that's normal for Finland.

  Serves traditional Finnish food. Food was delicious. People serving were friendly. Restaurant decor is traditional Lappish style, made the place atmospheric.

  High end specialty restaurant, absolutely worth a visit! You might need to make a reservation, especially of you're planning to visit during the dinner rush, as this place gets quite busy. Rustic, traditional decor makes this restaurant very cozy and inviting. The service is fantastic and food absolutely amazing. I had the double reindeer dish, which came with reindeer steak, braised reindeer, nettle potatoes, root vegetables, rich game gravy and a berry jam. Every last bit on the plate was delicious and perfectly prepared. For dessert I tried the warm bread cheese (Finnish squeaky cheese) in cinnamon cream with cloudberries and mocha mousse, which was honestly the best dessert I've ever tasted. Perfectly balanced, not too sweet, different textures and flavours, just astonishingly tasty! This restaurant is a bit on the pricier side, but the high quality of the food is absolutely worth the splurge. I can't recommend Nili enough!

  This is definitely the place to go for high-end authentic Finnish food. Well, I’m no expert, but it seemed pretty legit to me. The taste of everything is just excellent. The portions were satisfactory, and the price is on the high end. This establishment is geared for the spending traveler. It’s quite worth it, though. We enjoyed our meal so much - there were a few “eyes closed in ecstasy” moments when the first bites arrived. Take care to read the fine print on all the menu items. There was a misunderstanding with one of the starters where I hadn’t noticed it’s charged per-person, with a minimum of two. That was my fault for not seeing it, but it would have been considerate for the server to make note of it during the order. Oh, and the setting/environment is wonderful! Very intimate, excellently themed. It’s a full experience for sure!
