With 82 messages in this thread, I can't believe no-one has mentioned KYNSILAUKKA, in Frederikinkatu. Granted, it's not for everyone -- all the dishes on the menu involve garlic! We haven't been there recently, but from '92 to '02 we went at least once or twice a year and were never disappointed. I always liked the little chalkboard in front, updated daily, which says (paraphrase) 'Since we opened on xx.xx.19xx, we have used X kilos of garlic'. It was fun to watch 'X' increase from one visit to the next; I wonder what it is today? Damn, I'm making myself hungry -- we need to go back there!
cheers,
Henry
