Bistro 14

Top choice in Tampere


With its sleek modern interior and talented French chef, this small place near the train station is garnering lots of local attention. The food is fresh and light, with expertly balanced flavours and pretty presentation; diners who are gluten-free, lactose intolerant or vegetarian are catered for. The weekday lunch buffet is simply amazing value, as is the Sunday brunch (€12.50).
