Joensuu Restaurants

  1. Antique Astoria

    This is a stylish little restaurant with a riverfront terrace and a charming, rustic interior. It specializes in hearty Hungarian dishes, with paprika and sour cream in delicious abundance. Many of the signature dishes (goulash, for example) can only be ordered for two. There are several Hungarian wines (don't go for the cheapest one here), and a range of tempting aperitifs such as chilled slivovitz.
