Restau­rant

A world of flavours in the heart of the Mar­ket Square

The Oulu Mar­ket Square has always been a place where local and inter­na­tion­al cul­tures come togeth­er. In the past, ships car­ried tar from Oulu to the rest of the world and brought back new influ­ences, ingre­di­ents, and sto­ries to enrich the lives of Oulu’s res­i­dents. In the same way, Tarkastamo’s restau­rant brings togeth­er north­ern roots and ideas drawn from around the world.

The entic­ing offer­ings at our sur­pris­ing water­front restau­rant draw inspi­ra­tion from the Mediter­ranean, France, Britain, and even Asia. At Tarkas­ta­mo, every dish is, of course, pre­pared with a relaxed, Nordic twist.

The menu fea­tures fresh ingre­di­ents such as fish and seafood, high-qual­i­ty meat, and sea­son­al veg­eta­bles. The menu’s delight­ful com­fort foods cre­ate a laid-back vibe. For dessert, clas­sic Euro­pean flavours are paired with a touch of Finnish flair – per­haps even the tar that Oulu locals love so much!
