The pancakes took a little while, but they were really good. So it was worth the wait 😉

This restaurant has delicious food, generous portions, polite staff, and a great atmosphere.
I really liked it, thank you! The borscht there is the best, and the garlic bread is fantastic!
I recommend checking it out :)

A small and cosy Russian restaurant. The ordering system is very simple and quick, you choose your food with your mobile phone and send your order. They served us everything very quickly. We ordered the salmon soup and the meat filled Pielmien and for dessert we ordered the pancake with strawberries and ice cream. Everything was very delicious and the staff was very friendly. I loved the Russian beer.

The meatblini was of high quality and tasty, and surprisingly large. Perhaps a slightly bolder seasoning would have suited this dish. The non-alcoholic beer was really good. In the future I will try blinis with mushrooms and dumplings. Ordering via browser and payment via Mobilepay worked well, although a little guesswork at first with the operating logic.

The price/quality ratio does not match. I could make the same braids at home. I liked the bite and I'm glad the dog got to come.

There’s a nice, warm atmosphere in this small restaurant across from Kultturitalo.
The menu focuses almost exclusively on blinis, which are available in several varieties—both savory and sweet.
The blinis were good in themselves and generously filled, but compared to many other Russian restaurants, their texture was more like crepes or pancakes, and I’m not very convinced by the flour used in the batter, as I couldn’t taste the buckwheat in the final product at all. Probably mostly wheat-based, I’d guess. They’d certainly go well with the sweet blinis on offer.
These blinis could, of course, be regional variations; perhaps I should have asked...
I think the prices are reasonable.
Given the location, keep in mind that the restaurant will undoubtedly be full before the performances across the street begin. However, there are only just under thirty seats.
