Restaurant Nooa — Restaurant in Turku sub-region

A beautiful spot for special occasions – but come prepared for small portions.

We celebrated a birthday here with a group of 10 and had a lovely time overall. The restaurant has a truly beautiful atmosphere — stylish, warm, and perfect for a special occasion. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel taken care of from the moment we arrived.

We opted for the tasting menu, and the food was absolutely delicious. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and presented like a work of art — truly a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. That said, the portions were very small. While we appreciated the culinary finesse, about half of our group left still feeling hungry, which was a bit disappointing considering the price point.

If you’re coming here for the experience and atmosphere, it’s a great choice. But if you’re looking for a more filling meal, you might want to go somewhere else. Still, it was a memorable night in a stunning setting with...

Had a burger at a company lunch. It was absolutely the worst burger in my life. The bun was clearly a frozen kind that went through a microwave and then toasted: dry, flaky, falling apart, crumbling. The meat was a "great match": thin, obviously frozen patty, that was overcooked well beyond "well done", dry and chewy. Barely any veggies inside: thin slice of tomato, tiny leaf of lettuce.

This was the second time I had such a bad burger at Nooa (previous time it was last year, another company lunch). So, obviously, it is not a "bad day", but a...

Nice place even at winter, probably great at summer. High end food served in a relaxed setting. The food itself was very good with no major flaws, apart from what I felt was a disproportion in portion size. Starters were very sparingly sized and light, and main courses quite enormous and heavy. Sometimes a combo like this balances out, but in this case I felt it didn’t. But that really is the only real downside I can think of. The waiting staff are very knowledgeable and helpful, and the open kitchen seemed to work exceptionally well. Unfortunately from my seat that was pretty much all I saw, so entertaining as it was, I can't really say much about the rest...
