The lunch buffet is fabulous with really tasty soups and a salad table that varies everyday. Me and…read moremy colleagues used to come here multiple times to lunch every week. During the summer the outside terrace comes in handy too for sum bathing before returning to the office. During the evening the restaurant's food has not been that spectacular - been twice and been disappointed twice.

Bengol Curry is currently one of my favorite lunch places (I've never been here in the evening). It…read moreis nicely located in the Tullintori shopping center, facing the Tulli square. They have a menu that changes each day of the week - usually something chicken/shrimp/fish, something beef and two vegetarian currys. I often come here around 11 am or even a bit before when it's still quiet. The small portion has always been enough for me. Bengol isn't your usual Indian buffet but instead you: 1. grab your tray 2. fill a glass of water 3. take a small raita cup and a small salad cup 4. tell the waiter if you want large (9,50e) or small (8,50e) portion 5. pick which currys you'd like with the rice 6. choose whether to take the naan bread or not 7. pay 8. if you like spicy, add some mango chutney (yum!) and fresh coriander to your plate 9. sit down & enjoy 10. grab coffee 11. return your tray on your way out The currys are delicious. I like to come here at least once a week if possible. Edit: The naan bread used to "the best in Tampere" but nowadays it is just "Ok". But half a naan bread is still a nice addition to your meal. And don't you think usually the whole naan is just too big? I do.

Kuparitalon vohvelikahvila (Copperhouse Waffle Cafe) is a nice cafe along Tuomiokirkonkatu. They…read morehave very nice waffles - sweet and savory. I've only had savory ones and I can recommend the smoked salmon. I like their interior decoration the most and the waffles. They've done a really nice job with the cute decorations. The staff is young girls and I've noticed they don't clean the tables very fast after customers leave but just let the dirty dishes sit on the table - even when there's two at the counter and no customers there to serve. Otherwise service is ok, nothing spectacular. So 5 stars for decor and waffles, 3 stars for staff.

Eetvartti is a teaching restaurant right next to Tullintori shopping center. During lunch time (mon…read more- thu 11 - 13.30, fri 11 - 13.00) they are packed so don't come with a large group much later than at 11:00 if you want to find a table. The food is served buffet style and you will be more than full if you try everything. Light lunch (7,9€) includes the salad buffet, soup and dessert (+bread + coffee). The homefood lunch (9,90€) includes the previous plus the warm foods buffet. Both are well worth the money. The students cook and serve all the food and since they practice how to function in a real restaurant setting, they will ask you what you'd like to drink and bring the drinks to the table. There's a lot more staff also than in a normal lunch restaurant and the level of service is very good. So, the food's good and the service is good, so try it! It is very popular among people working nearby.

The Cafe gets busy often (it's popular with the locals) so try to make reservations, or come early and exercise patience that Finns are known for. Lots of parking on the street.

Very hungry when we arrived. The food was great, very much like a big breakfast place in the US (something that's rather hard to find). Hubby got the steak, kids and me got the pancakes with eggs and bacon. All super yummy. Totally recommend. We sat out on the patio and lucked out with a spot (thankfully after the bike ride). I believe reservations are for inside which is tiny, tiny. I'd sit outside if you can.

The bodega Salud is a very cosy place and offers some specialities like gnu steak and pepersteak (200 or 300g) that should not be missed. After ordering you can get to the salad buffet to start your appetite and after dinner there is cheese and fruit to finish. The prices are a bit higher then average but the atmosphere and food is worth it. There is also the possibilty in one section of the bodega to go for Tapas which I did not try.
