Guru’s story
Guru’s Kitchen & Bar is a casual food and cocktail restaurant in the center of Tampere, where the gray everyday life turns into a colorful celebration – feel free to come in, alone or together.
The origin of Guru’s legend is a mystery. We know that he has traveled for decades around the world to explore the culinary secrets of different cultures. After numerous tasty excursions, Guru, in his great wisdom, wanted to share the secrets he had learned.
Our restaurant rejoices in the existence of different diets and welcomes everyone on a journey through the taste worlds of the Mediterranean and the Middle East. On our menu you will find comprehensive vegan options, not forgetting fish and meat. Our kitchen also conjures up these dishes taking special diets into account. In the summer, you can sit on our cozy terrace and enjoy our delicacies – even with a wonderful cocktail in hand!
