Meat District

Turku & Finland's South Coast


True to its name, Meat District serves high-quality, organic, grass-fed beef – the house speciality is the dry-aged beef for two; €86. What you might not expect is the fresh local produce and everything made from scratch, which is what makes this place so special. The set menus are a wonderful culinary journey through the imagination of Michelin-starred chef Samuli Wirgentius.
