Pub Niska

Top choice in Mariehamn


Star chef Michael 'Micke' Björklund of Smakbyn is the brains behind this plåtbröd (Åland-style pizza) restaurant in the maritime quarter. Toppings are diverse and delicious, including favourites such as cold-smoked salmon and horseradish cream. In true locavore spirit, the cheese is from Åland's dairy. The atmospheric interior feels like the inside of a ship, but the place to be is the glorious sunny terrace.
