Ravintola OOBU

A historic house, an honest kitchen

In the house designed by Charles Bassi on Läntinen Rantakatu, OOBU turns Finnish fish, lamb and vegetables into pure, honest flavours — everything made from scratch, the fish smoked on the premises. We opened our doors on 30.10.2020, on the second and third floors of the house.

All of our dishes are always gluten-free and lactose-free — no need to ask.

We did not know what to expect, as we are not from Turku and had never been to Oobu. But, wow, what a delight. The Oobu menu and accompanying wines were absolutely delicious.

Timothy

Our waiter was excellent and our dinner was even better. Very stylish atmosphere.

Doug

Thank you for letting us celebrate our wedding at Oobu. Everything went completely naturally, and the atmosphere was calm and beautiful. Your food was still being praised the next day — it was truly delicious.

Our wedding reception in the Lyhty room worked out beautifully, the service exceeded our expectations and the food was very good. Special thanks to our lovely server, who made the experience perfect.

A three-course business lunch, full marks. Even our Dutch guests were speechless at the quality and freshness of the vegetables, the fish and the meat. Thank you to the kitchen and to the wonderful staff!

We had the Oobu menu and it was a brilliant whole. This has long been our favourite restaurant, and now the level has risen even further. Thank you.
