I stayed in the Vakuuna Soko Hotel, where the Amarillo restaurant is located. We visit the…read morerestaurant several times and the food was always good. Traditional Mexican cooked in Finland. The service is also very good. Yesterday I had a flank steak, it was very delicious! 4 star rating "only"because of the price... but to be fair, that's normal in Finland .

Really good food and excellent service. Quality ingredients from nearby. Pricetag is bit high…read morecompared to other restaurants in this area, but price/quality is really matched.

An absolutely adorable spot for a stop halfway between the center of Alavus and Seinäjoki provides…read moreeverything you could possibly need: Ice cream, beer (takeaway), coffee, tea, inside seating, outside seating, pizza, burgers, sometimes fresh pulla and munki. You can sit near the train tracks and watch it go by a few times a day. The proprietor is very friendly (Finnish only). Enjoy the history of the old station turned cafe!

Very small market with limited groceries but with a meat counter and bottle return…read more Visited May 2026 and there is a decent but not comprehensive grocery selection like there are at some of the larger stores about 20 minutes drive in Parkano. There is quite a few gluten-free choices in every section which was important to me as a celiac. Not a ton of fresh fruit or vegetables so you will need to do a second shopping trip elsewhere to get everything you need for your kitchen. Obviously not a tourist area so don't expect anyone speaking English (not that they should!) You can get by without really needing to speak to anyone. Visited: May 2026

The lamb is fantastic. Incredibly tender, and a great cut. The garnishes, carrots mashed potatoes…read moreand gravy, also fantastic. The only downside is that it seems that outside of the different meat, all of the dishes have these exact same garnishes. Variance would be nice, but a good spot nonetheless. Best meal I've had in this city.

Not amazing, but certainly not bad. Pleasant staff, and decent food. The pizzas are Italian…read morestyle, but with a less delicate finesse. The risotto was good though, I'd recommend the pasta over the pizzas. Oh and they have a free salad bar, for those of you that like lettuce.

An all you can eat pizza and salad buffet with a few other items thrown in for good measure. The…read morefood is not gourmet by any means but I don't think anyone would expect a pizza buffet restaurant to be. The place usually seems pretty clean but the sneeze gaurds are up high enough that they really have no purpose. I don't know what the regulations are in Finland, but in the U.S. the same set up would be a health code violation. They have a selection of maybe six or seven pizzas with one of them being vegetarian. When first paying for your meal you can ask for a pizza to be made any way you want and they will just put it up with the others on the buffet, even without cheese if you wanted it to be vegan, because of that, I decided to give three stars instead of two. Some of the pizzas have weird looking meat toppings that I suppose are standard at a lot of pizza places here in Finland. If you feel like taking a day off from healthy eating or you are just not in the mood to cook then Pizzeria Piiki may be a good option.
