There's a new place in Punavuori on Pursimiehenkatu 16. It used to be Old Anchor, it has changed now and the place has no name yet.. Yes it's a little weird. Anyhow me and my friend decided to go there yesterday for dinner. We had sort of assumed it to be a nice cosy place in style of Bar N0:9 or Lungi.
Atmosphere wise it was great, also alcohol was fairly priced at like 5-6€/glass, bottles around 30€.
Food wise.. well the prices were nuts! Tiny salads for starters at 12€/each. Dinner plates were around 22-30€.
The actual menu was a on piece of paper, yet prices more fine dining and through the roof! With the restaurant not having a name either, it seemed like they were a bit lost about the concept..
I got the Arctic Char (Nieriä) with cauliflower purée. The plate wasn't big but had a nice pricetag of 22€. It tasted good, put pricing was totally off.
My friend got the Veal Cheek with potato gnocchi. Once again, wonderful taste but overpriced and tiny portions.
Also, the waitor got our orders mixed up, so we had to wait longer for our food. As an apology he did give us free glasses of wine. That was great service and I really appreciated it.
Would I go back? For food - no way! For drinks, absolutely. This restaurant needs to come up with a name, get their concept together, and lower their prices on food. Otherwise they will go bankrupt within months.
