I was in town for a work meeting and was introduced to this restaurant by a colleague. It was close…read moreto our hotel, and a quick walk. It has a comfortable ambience, where it feels intimate and quite cozy. I did not have anything to drink except water, but they have plenty of offerings for those who want it. I had been flying non stop from the USA so I was avoiding alcohol for a good night's sleep. Our appetizer was the single portion Blinis. They come with finely diced onions, sour cream, and roe that looks so fine it is impossible to say how tiny they are. The Blini itself could have been eaten alone, but when you put it all together it was magnificent! All of us then had the fish of the day, the pike perch with a beurre blanc sauce and potato pancake- pickled whole mustard seeds and a fennel salad. This dish was exquisite. I cannot remember a time when I saw a combination of items I have never had, plated beautifully, and also just absolutely delicious. The Fennel and mustard seeds were a beautiful counterbalance to the fish and potato pancake underneath- which made sure it was crispy by sitting above the beurre blanc. Our server was Iida, (pronouned EE-dah) and was very attentive, professional, and then when we thought our meal was going to end they asked about dessert. This was also a show stopper. Yuzu ice cream with fresh blueberries, blueberry granita, and blueberry jam. It was also one of the most finely plated dishes I have ever seen. I regret not taking a photo of the blini, but I will post the perch and the dessert. Stunning to look at and remember. Thank you to Iida and the team here at Ravintola Wolkoff. My hope is that I am back in Lappeenranta again sometime and can come support this business again! Support small business owners!
