Neljä Kaesaa

Central Finland


In a charming white-painted wooden building, Neljä Kaesaa is the best central option for lunch, when it serves a buffet of warming and traditional Finnish comfort food like stews (sometimes with elk) or fried muikku (vendace, or whitefish, a small lake fish) from Monday to Friday; Saturday's brunch features the same dishes.
