You walk into the Kauppahalli (market hall) of Tampere and you are starving... Where to eat? Well, I have a great suggestion for you: how about the best burger in town, which can be found at Ohana Lei'Pomo & Grille?
The restaurant is located by the front doors of Kauppahalli, so as you walk in you see the place. Orders are made at the counter. There are a variety of burgers to choose from, but there are also salads and quesadillas available. You might want to add some fries to your order, and there are plenty of different kinds of fries. My favourite ones are definitely the Parmesan fries.
In the restaurant, there are only a few seats, but on the hallway of the market hall there are more seats where you can enjoy the freshly made burgers. Everything is made from scratch by using as many local ingredients as possible. And you can taste it, too!
While enjoying the delicious food of Ohana Lei'Pomo & Grille, you can also feel the magic of the market hall. It's a place where people of all ages come for food shopping, have a coffee or the best burger in town. I strongly recommend being part of it at least once you visit Tampere.
