Flow's restaurant selection provides world-class flavours
This year’s festival offers an unforgettable setting of flavours influenced by cuisines worldwide. Whether it was street food, fine dining, fusion kitchen, New York-style pizza, or Ethiopian cuisine, high-quality products will provide dishes for every possible taste. Following the same principle as in previous years, all red meat and poultry are excluded from the restaurant's menus, and every restaurant will provide at least one vegan dish.
Earning their first Michelin-star this May with their restaurant The Room, restaurateur Kozeen Shiwan manifests a fine dining collaboration with Oatly in the form of a sit-down restaurant with pre-festival reservations, available only at Flow.
Many favourites return to the festival, such as the Italian-style Fiasco? and Shinobi, the Japanese cuisine combining contemporary and classical styles. Among the Flow debutants are N4KU, the Vietnamese restaurant renowned for its delicious bánh mi dishes, Outo, which was chosen as one of Finland’s top 50 restaurants, and the fusion kitchen Karppi. For the first time, Gold Area has its own restaurant, the inspiring vegan fine dining restaurant Magu.
Among some of the first-timers at Flow, Pretty Boy offers delicious no-chicken dishes, Kallio-based Skiffer delivers its renowned pizza planks, Bites Burger composes delightful burgers with black bean and mushroom steaks, and Slicemonger brings up the atmosphere with its New York-style pizza slices. Furthermore, Huuva offers a variety of dishes from pizzas to burgers, and top chef Mikko Kaukonen has constructed a menu of delicious sandwiches for Vaasan Sandwich Club.
Way Bakery and Teemu Aura’s Pullabiili, which are both known for their delicious pastries, serve desserts, and numerous cafes, including Inka Paahtimo and Stockfors Coffee, provide visitors with quality coffee. Ape Gelato and 3 Kaveria, among others, serve ice cream, the classic of a hot summer festival day.
