Kuappi: The world's smallest restaurant

Kuappi

In the local dialect, Kuappi is the Finnish word for cupboard. Sized accordingly, Kuappi is alternately known as the world's smallest restaurant. The interior seats 2, and 2 can sit on the patio. Mainly you'd just go for a beer though for those wanting the full experience food can be ordered from a nearby (average sized) restaurant.

It's something to get a photo of maybe, but overall comes perilously close to being a tourist trap. There's better dining in the city, but for those who like world-record superlatives this is another one to check off the list.

Dragon Sheng: Great Chinese

Dragon Sheng

This is a typical Chinese restaurant in Finland. Food is always great and you get good value for your money. Dragon Sheng is quite a small but pleasant restaurant. You can have either buffet or you can order from the a la carte.

Favorite Dish: In Finland I recommend that you take the table-set menu. There are normally two or three table-set menus where to choose from.

Kuappi: The smallest restaurant in the world

The waitress of Kuappi

According the Guiness Book of Records the Kuappi is the smallest restaurant in the world. There is only one table, two chairs, one bar, one toilet and a terrace with one table and two chairs. It is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to enjoy your beer in the relaxed Savo atmosphere. Don't miss the fabulous mini-bottle collection.

Favorite Dish: Although you can get something to eat at Kuappi, it is not the main-point of this restaurant. If you wish to eat something, you can order a meal from the next-door restaurant, Olutmestari. They serve your meal in Kuappi.
