ROSTER is an atmospheric bistro restaurant serving creative world cuisine, created with great love and the most responsible approach to the used ingredients.
ROSTER is located in a historic building constructed in 1832, opposite the main cathedral of the city of Turku (Finland).
ROSTER is headed by famous Finnish restaurateurs and chefs Kari “Kape” Aihinen and Olli Kolu, who boldly combine different flavor combinations from all over the world using the best raw ingredients.
The interior of the restaurant designed by Finnish designer Aleksi Hautamäki combines a vintage atmosphere with modern design respecting the traditions of the building where ROSTER is located. Complementing the ambiance is the Magazine Contemporary gallery, serviced by a contemporary art magazine and located next door.
The two-storied restaurant with 80 seats, with a cocktail bar, open kitchen and a summer sun terrace has become one of the most popular and favorite places for dining out in Turku.
