Kakolanruusu
Graniittilinnankatu 2 F, 20100 TurkuUnique Food and Drink Experiences
Restaurant Kakolanruusu is situated in one of Finland’s most fascinating locations – the historic premises of the old Kakola prison. The restaurant serves high-quality, seasonal, handcrafted food cooked over an open fire. Kakola’s “Feast” and “Big Feast” have become iconic – social dining and shared dishes are what we’re all about. On Fridays and Saturdays, guest DJs set the mood while you dine, and in our lounge bar, artisan cocktails stand in a league of their own. An elevated dining experience is just a funicular ride away!
