Ravintola Petronella — Restaurant in undefined

Everything is perfect, except the explicit request for tips when paying the bill! We didn’t expect that since no restaurant in Finland has asked us for tips before. Also worth mentioning that it is quite a pricey restaurant too (especially some of the dishes may be quite small).

Other than that, it is quite a pleasant experience. Atmosphere was perfect - cozy and great ambience, with a traditional fireplace adding to the warm vibes. Service was excellent, staff were very cheerful and gave us great attention.

We had the King Crab warmed in Vanilla Butter as a starter. The portion size was very small - two small piece of king crab (though understandably king crabs are expensive). The crab was super fresh and delicious though. We just thought that the tar syrup didn’t really fit the dish well, but it could be different from the taste profile we are used to.

For mains, we ordered the Local Burbot. It was absolutely delicious and we loved this dish the most! Fish was just so delectable and we really loved the soft but slightly chewy texture. Quantity may be slightly on the smaller side.

We also had sautéed reindeer (Poronkäristys). The portion size was generous for this dish. It was very well prepared and we really loved the lingonberries that paired with the dish. Definitely a top dish of this restaurant!

The menu seem to change. We wanted to order King Crab soup as it seems really popular on Google reviews, but it wasn’t available...

Must be the friendliest and most welcoming restaurant I've been to in years! Lovely, warm and cozy atmosphere. Delicious menu and nice wine list. The team is absolutely amazing and make you feel so welcome and taken care of! Great cocktails and drink options too... with some very interesting Finnish Gin and Finnish Whisky, which we tried. We took the Grouse for mains, which was also lovely and interesting for us as we don't get it in our home country. Definitely worth a visit if you are after a warm and romantic night of being cared for and well fed. Highly...

Spacious restaurant, good service, average taste and nice food optics. But low price value for the food. One of us ordered the full three course menu and he was not full. I had Coffee-Curved Reindeer Entrecôte (16,50€) and Baked local Burbot (39€) with about three mouthful chunks of fish in the mix of potatoes. Unfortunately the fish chunks were dry and tough. Another had Sautéed Reindeer (29€), which was alright. The four of us would not recommend to visit for the food. Though I had a good time due to great company and nice atmosphere in...
