to get lost in the moment and give your taste buds a free hand. Explore the fine cuisine on offer in the Jyväskylä Region ...for instance, à la Lady and the Tramp!

The range of restaurants in the Jyväskylä Region is truly extensive. Finding an option to suit your personal taste and the occasion is thus straightforward. Below you’ll find both familiar chain restaurants and smaller local eateries with an atmosphere all of their own. For the organisers of conferences, congresses and other events there are a number of quality restaurants that provide catering by special arrangement, while the various pleasant cafes to be found offer a chance to pause for refreshment and watch the rest of the world hurry by.

Treat your taste buds in one of our many rural eating locations, too. For international visitors in particular we recommend JyväskyläMenu restaurants, which serve the very best of Finnish food culture in a unique manner. Jyväskylä is a culinary crossroads, where the ’cross kitchen’ born out of influences from various provinces meets home-grown flavours, with an emphasis on fish, berries, bakery products and cheese. Raw materials are generally locally sourced and selected according to the time of year. These restaurants can be recognised by the ’Fork of Plenty’ symbol.

In addition, Central Finland à la Carte showcases dishes that represent the very best of the region as a whole. Traditions in suitable measure, a dash of the novel, but always making use of Central Finland’s excellent natural and untainted raw materials…
