Klandestina
Chef Andres Alpe introduces North Eastern Mexican cuisine, offering a tantalizing journey to Mexico, allowing customers to savor the authentic flavors locals cherish. Every dish is crafted from scratch with genuine passion—an essence that undoubtedly translates into a delightful dining experience. Klandestina specializes in creating food that is not only enjoyable to share but also brings joy to every bite! (P.S: Don’t miss out their Kuha Ceviche Tostada – it’s absolutely fantastic!) Buen Provecho!
Humus Brothers
Hummus Brothers by Tomer Hovav and Nadav David is the first restaurant in Finland dedicated to delivering an authentic hummus experience (along with other chickpea products). While Finns traditionally use hummus as a spread or dip, Hummus Brothers is pioneering its qualities as both a main course and a snack, suitable for both lunch and dinner.
Our hummus is freshly prepared in Finland, and at Hummus Brothers, our goal is to showcase the most traditional aspects of enjoying hummus, alongside other Middle East-inspired dishes. Local production and adherence to Finnish values are integral to our culinary approach.
B’tayavon!
ROSKAKALA
There are a lot of delicious Finnish fish that we Finns don’t eat often enough. One reason is the demanding amount of work that goes into preparing this type of fish. Filip Stenius and Marika Haavisto are specialists in these fish, and they know there is no reason to think less of what we call roskakala (trash fish). The Roskakala kitchen promises to make a change in our fish culture by serving the most delicious fish dishes, using Finnish “roskakala”. Also, using local fish is an ecological choice.
L’ARTISAN - LE CAFÉ
L’Artisan, founded by Marc Mulard, is set to bring the authentic French bakery experience to UG. Previously exclusive to selected restaurants and cafes in Helsinki, L’Artisan pastries will now be available at the L’Artisan Café within UG.
In essence, L’Artisan – Le Café aims to be a pâtisserie where you can indulge in delicious, freshly baked products, enjoy a croissant with coffee, or simply relax and savor high-quality French bakery items—just like in Paris.
OTORO
Welcome to the tastes of Nikkei, a unique combination of traditional Japanese dishes made with Peruvian bold flavours. Offering self imported fresh fish from the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic, and meat from small farms in Spain, emphasises OTORO’s high quality and ecological approach to cooking. Already a hit in New York’s trendy Manhattan, this special Nikkei cuisine is now offered for the first time in Finland.
TEMPLE
Embark on a culinary adventure with us at Temple (by Villa Nepal), where we bring the authentic flavors of Nepal to your plate. Our journey begins with Laxman, our skilled chef and owner, boasting over 15 years of culinary experience—the heart of our kitchen.
Laxman’s culinary prowess is a legacy passed down through generations, directly from his father, a seasoned Chef in Nepal. Growing up, Laxman’s father not only taught him the art of cooking but also shared the family’s closely guarded secret recipes, adding a touch of tradition and heritage to every dish.
The cuisine at Temple offers authentic flavors from the Himalayan region that may transport you to the land of the tallest mountains in the world. Let the aromas of fresh herbs, cardamom and cumin guide you through this culinary journey.
As you dine with us, savor the results of Laxman’s dedication to preserving the rich tapestry of Nepalese cuisine. Each bite tells a story of tradition, love, and the joy of sharing flavors that have stood the test of time. Join us at Temple and experience Nepal on a plate.
THE BAR
But what is food without a drink? We, of course, boast a great bar to quench the thirst of our diners!
The central location also makes The Bar an ideal meeting point—even for larger groups.
Whether you’re looking for a delicious drink to accompany your food or just want to pop in for a glass of wine, a well-chilled beer, or a tasty cocktail, The Bar has you covered!
If you appreciate an urban, international atmosphere, come to The Bar!
