– We offer modern Nordic food slightly applied. We use high quality ingredients in the area and modify the Nordic cuisine to the present day, Tuominen says.

Restauranters utilize the supply of the Market Hall and from Turku farmers. Tuominen states that a little southern European food culture is added to the doses.

Vegetarian food, in particular, is Vive’s thing. According to restaurateurs, they taste the raw materials, nothing is hidden. Every dose is wanted to be an experience. Frant is mainly responsible for the food side and importing drinking.

Although Vive’s entrepreneurs have heard more than they will not sell wine for lunch, the practice has shown something else. Especially on Thursdays and Fridays, many people take a glass of wine with food.
