We came here hoping to find a good-value lunch option on a weekday. The market hall is quite busy and large, so I'd recommend having an idea of what you want to eat if you're coming here for food, as the choice can be a...bit overwhelming and you don't always feel like you can stop and have a look at the options in detail. We ate at Kotilounas in the end, choosing the weekday lunch option, which is unbelievably good value for money once you understand how it works. It's a little like a canteen/cafeteria set-up. You choose from a selection of hot meals with a hot side dish at the counter and pay, then find a table, and help yourself to as much salad, water, juice, tea or coffee as you like, and there's even a small dessert included - all for €10 per person. The food we had was tasty and warming, and the staff were able to explain to us what we needed to do. At the end you tidy up after yourself, which can be a bit confusing if you don't speak Finnish, as the signs are all in Finnish - watch a local do it, then follow their lead! All the people we saw eating here were Finns, so we felt we'd had an authentic experience. The food offerings change daily - the menu is available on their website - and they aren't necessarily traditional Finnish dishes.More
