Kaskis — Finnish Fine Dining / Tasting Menu, Turku
Kaskis is the gem of fine dining in Turku — one of two Michelin-starred restaurants in the city, whose 7-course tasting menu has made it the most sought-after reservation in southwestern Finland. The restaurant received its first Michelin star in 2022.
The most famous dish — the colourful fish circle that combines white fish ceviche with cloudberries, carrots, and roe — encapsulates the kitchen’s philosophy: Finnish ingredients applied to contemporary Nordic technique, producing flavour combinations that are both surprising and deeply satisfying.
The wine programme is among the most thoughtful in Finland: natural and biodynamic producers given prominence alongside French and Italian classics. Finnish berry and herb liqueurs provide the non-alcoholic dimension of the pairing.
Weekend reservations at Kaskis book up months in advance — the most reliable indicator of a restaurant’s true standing. For visitors planning a serious Turku visit, Kaskis should be booked before travel dates are confirmed.
