My weekend Date in Finland – Finnish Salmon Soup!
Hello, my curious friends!
What do you think when I said my weekend date in Finland is Finnish Salmon Soup?
Date in Finland and Salmon Soup? Duh~ right?
Today, I want to share my husband’s and my common weekend date routine in Finland.
What do you usually do when the weekends come?
What kinds of weekend dates do you usually do or prefer?
When weekends come, my husband and I usually walk along the shorelines or in Finnish nature. After walking a lot, we enjoy the warm Finnish salmon soup together at our favorite restaurants or cafes. That is our simple weekend date routine😊
When you come to Finland, of course, you should enjoy fresh and clean Finnish nature. And I recommend you to try ‘Lohikeitto (eng: salmon soup)’. It is one of the foods you must try.
A slightly creamy salmon soup made with potatoes or root vegetables, salmon, and dill herbs is one of the essential and delicious foods in Finland, where the cold winter is long and harsh.
It’s also one of my husband and I’s favorite foods lol.
So, we often go to a cafe near the beach to eat this salmon soup for brunch on the weekends.
There are many cafes we go to, but this time we went to here👇🏻
Many places provide soup (with bread) + coffee/tea together, but here, coffee/tea is not included unlike other cafes we often go to. We should purchase coffee/tea separately.
Still, we go often here because we like the clean taste without the fishy taste. Sometimes, other cafes make the soup a little bit fishy. However, This Cafe Zoceria Tarvaspää offers always the same taste soup!😋
This time, we went there with our car. After parking our car, I drew a smiley face on the snow piled on the way. Just wanted to express my happiness at the moment!😆
My husband and I were happy to have salmon soup soon, and giggling like children together.
It’s a little bigger inside, and our favorite spot is here!
The seat right next to this table is also good.
In fact, if you sit here, you are close to the bar, and the view of the beach over the window is quite nice.
Maybe that’s why competition for these seats is always very fierce.
However, for some reason, there were few people on this day, unlike other times.
We felt so good because we thought we could eat leisurely and enjoy our time.
We usually have salmon soup in cafes by putting it in the bowl ourselves.
As always, the amount of my soup is more than my husband’s👍.
Take a guess which bowl of soup is mine?🤔🤪
Salmon soup is usually served with dark bread, and the dark bread referred to here is Finnish rye bread. Among them, the bread we ate was Finnish Archipelago Bread called ‘Saaristolaisleipä’.
A little syrup is added, making it slightly sticky and sweet.
It is a taste that naturally makes you sing after finishing a bowl😋
This is one of the Finnish foods that I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Finland.
So, why don’t you have Finnish salmon soup with your lover this weekend? In addition, you can also enjoy Finnish nature before or after having it, so that you will have a better understanding of Finland😊.
