We had our doubts on which wine to choose. The waiter offered to open one of our options and let us try it. We did so and did not like it and chose another one that were more to our taste.

Surprise menu was a well composed package, the five course menu culminating in the fourth and the excellent dessert. With wines we trusted the recommendatioms, which were ok but you might want to do your own choices. Service was very friendly. If you are for well balanced combinations of mostly local ingredients, Kielo is worth a visit .

Spent a lovely evening with my wife at Restaurant Kielo. Found it since it was the #1 restaurant here at tripadvisor.com in Jouensuu. Once more, the crowdsourced feedback proved very accurate. Local food, made with passion. Quite straightforward stuff, but very delicious. From a soup with a twist, through a very exotic meat dish, to fish, to a delicious bird... More

We had a business dinner at Kielo in June, the service was just great! The waitress was able to explain in English all the details of our meal to our French client - A major part of a great dinner is a detailed explanation how the meal has been prepared; what raw materials used and how cooked. In this place... More
