Figaro Winebistro

Top choice in The Finnish Lakeland


The three-course lunch menu (€25) at this this welcoming wine bar is an excellent deal, but most regulars head here after work or on weekends to graze on tapas and order drinks from the large and top-quality wine and beer list. It's so pleasant that many choose to stay on for a steak or burger dinner.
