On friday we had a lunch at the Paavo's Kalabaari in Heikintori shopping center. Recommended by the chef I chose the fishsoup(8€) and my companions chose the Fishplate(9,50€). The salmon soup was clear unlike the typical creamy salmon soup and spiced with fresh herbs. The fish comes from a producer near by, apparently it's grown salmon from Norway. The overall experience 4/5. It was very good, but not mind-blowing, therefore only 4.
The fishplate had smoked salmon, salted salmon, whitefish and something else that we thought was lamprey. My other companion was disappointed that the fishplate was cold and gave a 3/5. Another companion wasn't excepting it to be warm and enjoyed the fresh fish giving a total 4/5 of the experience. It would've been 5, if the salad had been more innovative, he said.
Apparently Paavo's kalabaari is the place to eat in Tapiola. At least it is in favor of celebrities such as Frederik, Pirkko Mannola and Jukka Puotila who had personally written a card to Paavo, thanking for the wonderful food. In the Kalabaari they were also selling albums of Kikka and other finnish singers, maybe to create the atmosphere of the archipelago?
On the wall of the Kalabaari was a picture taken by Paavo himself of the Isokari lighthouse that is located near Paavo's summer cottage in Selkämeri.
