Tornio

Restaurants in Tornio

  1. Umpitunneli

    The ‘Dead-End Tunnel’ may be a road to nowhere but it’s a most enjoyable one, with a huge terrace, plenty of pissed-up locals adding entertainment value at weekends, and large plates of food, from creamy pastas to steaks and Tex-Mex. There are often live bands, or else the humppa (a fast Finnish dance, between a waltz and a foxtrot) music gets going. A classic.

  2. À La Carte

    Tornio’s best restaurant is in the Kaupunginhotelli and its elegant upmarket decor, quality food and this town’s lack of other options more than make up for scatty service and an uninspiring name. Dishes come generously proportioned and handsomely presented, with tasty smoked salmon and tender meats. Various ‘Lapp menus’ cost €27 to €48.

  3. Restaurant Josephine

    For a quality sit-down meal, Josephine, in the Kaupunginhotelli, is a good choice. The menu is broad and excellent value, with tasty salmon, liver and other Finnish specialities alongside pan pizzas and pastas. There's also a 'Lapp menu', with several reindeer dishes (including boiled tongue) and a couple of set menus.

  4. Café Avela

    In a pretty wooden building opposite the bookshop, this unassuming little place is a small cafe and craft shop with a small selection of tasty home-baked cheesecakes and daily salads and soup, good value with a hunk of homemade bread for €3.50 to €4.50.

    This is a good café on the main street, with stylish crepe-paper lamps banishing the winter gloom.
