The Sto­ry of Tarkas­ta­mo

EXPE­RI­ENCE AND FRESH IDEAS GUAR­AN­TEE QUAL­I­TY!

Behind Tarkas­ta­mo are two long-stand­ing entre­pre­neur­ial fam­i­lies from Oulu, with decades of expe­ri­ence in the restau­rant and event busi­ness in Oulu: the Fors­man fam­i­ly, known from the restau­rants Puis­to­la and Pan­nu, as well as Ilpo and Roope Sul­ka­la, known from 45 Spe­cial, Ziva­go, Heinäpään Olut­tupa and events pro­duced by Pro Piknik Fes­ti­vals Oy.

There used to be a meat inspec­tion sta­tion exact­ly in the same spot in the Mar­ket Square, mon­i­tor­ing the qual­i­ty of the goods sold at the Mar­ket Hall. In hon­our of that, the name “Tarkas­ta­mo” (”Inspec­tion Office”) cre­ates a con­nec­tion to the area’s his­to­ry. A mod­ern and rugged enti­ty that embod­ies the area’s mar­itime his­to­ry is brought to life, as expe­ri­ence and the fresh per­spec­tives of the younger gen­er­a­tion merge into a col­lab­o­ra­tive effort for the ben­e­fit of Tarkas­ta­mo.
