Kielo Restaurant
Ravintola Kielo
The only Nordic restaurant in Joensuu that serves only set menus. The menu changes six times a year with the seasons and earned 86 points from Falstaff.
Located at Kirkkokatu 16 in the city centre, Kielo is Joensuu's only restaurant serving set menus exclusively, with 9-course and 6-course tasting menus. The menu changes six times a year and makes heavy use of produce from local small farms, with an emphasis on vegetables; the kitchen even makes its own soy sauce and miso. Seasonal dishes have included moose tartare with juniper, cold-smoked pike and potato soup, rainbow trout with pine needles, reindeer tenderloin with celeriac, and baked-milk ice cream with lingonberries. The house-made non-alcoholic pairings are highly praised. The 9-course menu costs €86, so booking ahead is advised. It ranks first for dinner in Joensuu on TripAdvisor.
