The best bars and cafés Eastern Finland Province

A Spanish-Finnish couple run this bright downtown café, beautifully decorated in a light and spacious vintage style. You'll never find the same chairs or tables - everything is recycled and comes from different places. We love the cosy atmosphere, the rocking chairs, the more comfortable armchairs for a coffee... A relaxing space full of charm and tranquillity. The dishes are simple but with a lot of taste and fresh products. We love the cakes and the hot drinks, delicious. A must try!

This grain mill celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2012, it is one of the oldest industrial sites still in operation in Finland and the entire property has been classified as a cultural and historical site. Set along the river rapids, this summer café, which adjoins the water mill used to grind the grain, has a certain cachet and appeals to families when the weather is fine. The pastries are delicious! You can also eat there on the evenings of shows that are played at the Théâtre de plein air. The shop sells bags of cereals, guaranteed organic of course.

Finnish wines? It's possible... but without grapes! At this establishment, established in 1995, you can buy and taste a range of ciders, wines (whites and rosés) and liqueurs made from apples and berries. All guaranteed "good for you" by a hostess who advises on the best way to accompany meals. Bonus: the pleasant turret, which in summer becomes a truly charming place to enjoy an aperitif! The restaurant (up to 430 covers in summer) and Bed & Breakfast are bookable in advance.
