RESTAURANT PUISTOLA
When strolling through the heart of Oulu, you can't fail to notice the big
and invitingwindows that front Puistola, a cosy restaurant that is well
worth a visit when you have the appetite for something special.
Puistola boasts three different concepts: a deli, a bistro and a fine
dining restaurant with its ownwine cellar. The restaurant is found
at the base of a light coral-coloured, Jugend-era building of the same
name, and this beautiful settingmakes for a delicious evening out.
The chefs combine local Nordic ingredients with contemporary
European techniques. Fresh ingredients and self-made products are
present in every dish, and there's even a bakery downstairs providing
all the pastries for the Deli. The restaurant is open throughout the day,
catering for both early-bird breakfast eaters and late-evening fine diners.
The 100-year-old house has long been a cultural hot spot. For
example, the hall that houses the Bistrowas once home toOulu's first
cinema. The cinematic spirit is still present in the artistic chandelier
where the projector used to be and the kitchen, located on the opposite
side of the baywindow, exactlywhere the silver screen once stood.
