Very tasty and stylish food for a good price!…read more Aisti opened just a week ago and today, Saturday afternoon, was my first visit there. I was with my friends and my kid. For the friends, they were already visiting for a second time since they liked it so much the first time. It was pretty quiet which was nice for the napping kid and for the conversation. I ordered the salmon confit and found it original in taste and arrangement but also in ingredients. For the main course I had the vegetarian option, cabbage rolls with carrot-butter sauce and barley. My favorite part about the dish was the sauce - very very tasty. Cabbage rolls were a nice new addition to the typical vegetarian foods restaurants serve and thus I liked it. For the dessert I had a coffee (pretty small cup) and today's special dessert with all kinds of good like white chocolate mousse, berries marinated in mint, mint, cream and meringue. Wow. Very tasty! I wish they had that on the regular menu. The staff was friendly. The food was really surprisingly well thought out, laid out and designed. And it was all quite affordable as my whole meal was 33€. So I give it five stars and a warm recommendation. I'm guessing the place will be quite packed on evenings with a theatre plays next door. And it is right on for a place to go on a date before the play!

The only thing I missed from the menu was a chicken or turkey dish, but they did have duck. For the main course, you can choose a side that comes with it, e.g. cream potatoes or salad. This restaurant goes in to the category of affordable yet classy which is perhaps one of the reasons I've often been here for company dinners, team event dinners and such. The last time I was here, I had a jumbo shrimp skewer and though it has some chili, it was definitely not spicy. I though it actually lacked flavor. For main dish I had the vegetarian crepes with ratatouille vegetables and cheese topping and loved it. It was really tasty. For the dessert I had the rhubarb pannacotta. Pannacotta itself was tasty but I didn't like the rhubarb too much. My colleague had the chocolate cake and that looked much much better. There was a crazy amount of chocolate in the cake - like 2-3cm at the top. :)

On a sunny day, the patio is absolutely devine with colourful tables, lilac trees and a gazebo! Inside, the atmosphere is cosy with red brick walls and wood panels.

I highly recommend the place, especially on a sunny summer day!

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.

I've visited Sitko twice; once when it had just opened in 2014 and once in May 2015. I've got to…read moresay there was a huge difference between these two experiences. And with the latter, the experience definitely improved. In 2014 they started with a very limited menu, a restaurant space that was too loud and with pizzas that heavily divided opinions. My pizza in 2014 was such that I honestly thought it was the worst pizza I'd had in a real restaurant. It was burned, toppings were so scarce that the crust bubbled and also the taste was just foul (have to admit I'd never eaten anjovis pizza before). After hearing much more positive reviews from colleagues, I decided to give Sitko another go and it was a good choice. The menu has expanded a bit and now had multiple pizzas I could have chosen from. Also the decor had improved so that the space didn't feel as loud anymore. They even had a DJ playing music now. On a Saturday evening the place was just as busy as it was after opening so they've maintained a good buzz and apparently improved the quality, winning long term fans. I went with the Vege pizza with eggplant, goat cheese, pistachio pesto, balsamico and pine nuts. The crust was thicker than on our previous visit and there were in general "a lot more to eat". I liked the tastes otherwise but balsamico combined with goat cheese on a pizza tasted a bit too sweet for me. I still definitely enjoyed the experience and I'm planning to come back to try the Quattro Formaggio and maybe the salmon pizza as well. The pizzas here are very different from pizzas anywhere else in town so I'm sure some like them, some don't. But I recommend trying the restaurant now and enjoying the "different kind of pizza"-experience as they've really tried to built unique tastes into the pizza.
