Helpfulness
The Karjalantalo restaurant was re-opened in April after a renovation work and I haven't been there after it but at least earlier the food was good - but a bit expensive. Here you can find local specialities from the buffet table.

Kahvila & Konditoria Houkutus is the gem of Joensuu's coffeehouses. Located next to Sokos department store (not far from the market square), the café sets the standards for the cakes, pastries and good service in the town.
The coffee shop itself is trendy without being too cold and over-designed -- remember to check out the restrooms, too. The main attractions are the cakes. There is a number of those, and most of them are a bit twisted from the normal cakes -- really delicious delicacies starting from the innovative names.
The prices are not bad either. Coming from Helsinki (or any other big city), this café is a real bargain and inexpensive compared to other cafés in Joensuu.
