Kahvila dinner

We have been lucky to find ourselves staying across the street from a nice cafe, the Kahvila Suomi, which also happens to have been the location of a popular Japanese film (Kamome Shokudo aka Kamome Diner aka Ruokala Lokki) a few years back that draws a lot of Japanese people in to take pictures and have a meal. It's a small place that is very relaxed with great people running the kitchen, serving typical Finnish dishes.

The Finns like a big lunch and this place serves that mostly, though if we can make it before they close at 6 we can have early dinner. They already know us and kindly help us translate the menu. Tonight we both had the smelt plate with bean soup and salad to start - all delicious. People have asked about the food so I thought I'd share pictures here, plus Gerald helping the tourists record their pilgrimage to the diner.
