    For text in english, scroll down... Erittäin miellyttävä lounas- ja ruokailupaikka Auransillan kupeessa vanhassa kivitalossa. Tilat jakaantuvat kolmeen eri loosiin. Todella hyvää ruokaa, välillä käytetty paljon mielikuvitusta josta olen itsekin saanut uusia ideoita. Hlökunta ystävällistä palveluasenteella. Myös välillä esiintyjiä, trubaduureja yms. A very nice lunch and a la carte restaurant near Aura Bridge, in an old stone building. Delicious food, they use their imagination a lot! Friendly customer service, also wine, beer and cider served.

    Oma tarjoilija oli aivan loistava- punaparta mies. Ja ruoka todella hyvää, kypsyys asteet kohdallaan, ruoka kuumaa ja hyviä makuja. Suosittelen ehdottomasti.

    Food was great, we had some issue with our order not going through to kitchen but I'm sure it was a single glitch with the system. Portions are good size and vegan options are tasty. Nice atmosphere but the greasy odour was quite noticeable indoors. Excellent place to wait for rain to end 🌧️

    Delicious Italian inspired cuisine at reasonable price. I can recommend the veggie risotto and the lamb pasta. Both were tasty and served in a portion size that satiated my appetite. The ambience is also great with relaxing vibes played by a live DJ. Definitely worth checking out if you are in Turku!

    Quite overpriced for such small portions. Had chicken-cashew wok, very strong celery taste. There's no service on the terrace (I don't count bringing food as service), they don't even bring cutlery and you have to take it from a pile next to the entrance (not very hygienic since everyone is touching it).

    Blanko is probably the best restaurant-bar in Turku. From 12:00 to 22:00 it functions as a high class restaurant and then it turns into south European/Mediterranean night club. Food is excellent, especially the lamb pasta, drinks are great and the atmosphere is unlike anything in Turku. To top it all service is great.

    We were told we could eat quickly, but what we were not told, is that we would be given re-heated pasta, which just tasted and felt old. If it was fresh it would probably have been great, though I just feel scammed, as that is not an acceptable behaviour to me (also given the price).

  • 4/5 Roosa I. 9 months ago on Google
    Söin halloum risoton,joka oli erittäin maukas. Risotossa oli ihanasti erilaisia makuja! Olisin voinut syödä sitä ähkyyn asti lisää ja jäin harmittelemaan,kun risotto jäi Turkuun ja minä en! Annos näytti myös kauniilta,jota arvostan kovasti. Ystäväni söi lehtipihvin ja sanoi,että se oli myös todella hyvä! Sisällä oli liian meluisaa ja tila kaikui,onneksi kuitenkin pääsimme vaihtamaan pöytää terassille. Mielelläni palaan uudestaan Blankoon!

    Lovely restaurant along river Aura. Perfect for summer lunches. There food has always been delicious, whatever you choose. They have both vegetarian and non vegetarian options. Lots of space to sit both indoors and outdoors. Not an expensive one either. I really enjoy eating at this place ❤️

  • 5/5 Martina Don W. 1 year ago on Google
    A popular place for drinks so I wanted to tell everyone that food tastes amazing too! Gluten free choices are available. 😍

  • 5/5 Minna H. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place, but extremely popular busy and crowded on a nice day. Food portions looked amazing and doggo friends are welcomed on the terrace. Woof!

  • 5/5 Eija S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Service and food worth a full ten. 😋👍Leaf steak best ever. (Original) Palvelu ja ruoka täyden kympin arvoista. 😋👍Lehtipihvi parasta ikinä.

  • 4/5 Elina 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Good food, seating should be reserved from the waiter's field of vision or the service is not allowed. And the waitress doesn’t ask for steak maturity to prepare for cooking. (Original) Hyvä ruoka, istumapaikka kannattaa varata tarjoilijan näkökentästä tai palvelua ei saa. Ja tarjoilija ei kysy pihvin kypsyyttä varaudu kypsään.

  • 5/5 Daniel W. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place, good location, staff polite and the menu is great and food matches the price. Highly recommend

  • 4/5 jukka E. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The food was good, as you might guess. Cramped but quite comfortable. (Original) Ruoka oli hyvää, kuten arvata saattaa. Ahdas mutta ihan viihtyisä mesta.

  • 4/5 Asko 2 years ago on Google
    Been here few times. Food is imaginetive and has good väisty, but usually a bit too greasy. Nice place for Donner dates with friends.

  • 3/5 Ruslan I. 1 year ago on Google
    Extremely overrated. Cons. 1. Half of the staff is unfriendly. And worst of all, the hostess (the lady with long dark hair). 2. Bad cook! We ordered two pastas and a starter. Both pastas were EXTREMELY spicy and very-very greasy - it looked like my plate contained half of glass of oil. One of the pastas was so salty that I could literally crunch pieces of salt by my teeth. 3. Considering the quality of the food, the prices are sky high (24 eur for the salty pasta) Pros 1. Portions are huge 2. Our waitress was quite friendly and kind enough to exclude the salty pasta from our bill without any big discussions. So at least they listen to the customers.

  • 4/5 Minna V. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Pleasantly atmospheric place. The salad portion was really plentiful and tasty. (Original) Miellyttävän tunnelmallinen paikka. Salaattiannos oli todella runsas ja maukas.

  • 1/5 olma97 1 year ago on Google
    Risotto with asparagus and raspberries was bland and as a dish did not excite me. Risotto should be a light fluffy dish and asparagus risotto can be so good when done right. Needless to say this was not it... Burger tasted like a piece of charcoal... Lamb pasta was drenched in oil... Prices 20-26€/portion. Will not return.

  • 5/5 Matti H. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 T K. 9 months ago on Google
    People watching on the terrace restaurant is best described what you will have at Blanko in Turku on your sunny days. We ordered pastas and they were decent portion and delicious.

  • 4/5 Eija M. 10 months ago on Google
    Ruoka oli maistuvaa. Friteeratut tiikeriravut tosi hyviä, niitä olisi voinut syödä useammankin. Halstrattu lohi niin ikään hyvää ja annos houkutteleva.

  • 5/5 Tuula L. 9 months ago on Google
    Söimme hiillostettua lohta. Annos oli oikein maistuva lisukkeineen. Jälkiruokana ahvenanmaan kuningatar-pannukakkua, joka sekin oli makoisa. Kiitokset hyvästä asiakaspalvelusta!

  • 4/5 Julia N. 6 months ago on Google
    Kunnon lehtipihvi, maukas kastike ja paljon yrttejä. Kahvi ja iso teevalikoima. Suklaakarkit eivät olleet minun makuuni, liian makeita. Olisin ottanut suklaapalan. Henkilökunta osaava ja ystävällinen. Siisti wc.

  • 5/5 Marja L. 9 months ago on Google
    Mahtava ja joustava henkilökunta. Ruoka tuli nopeasti ja oli todella maistuvaa. Vaikka paikka oli täynnä kiire ei välittynyt asiakkaille. Suosittelen lämpimästi.

  • 3/5 Ilse-Marie �. 7 months ago on Google
    Halstrattu lohi oli herkullista ja kauniisti aseteltu. Jälkiruuaksi valittu Ahvenanmaanpannukakku oli pettymys. Maku oli kumimainen. Jäätelö pelasti sen minkä pystyi.

  • 3/5 Vorapol A. 9 months ago on Google
    Good atmosphere, we waited 30 mins after ordering to get food. We ordered 4 dishes, all of them were already cold when served and very salty.

  • 5/5 Anna M. 8 months ago on Google
    Beautiful restaurant with a nice location close to the riverbank. The food is really interesting and delicious. The service was great.

  • 5/5 Franzi S. 9 months ago on Google
    Best restaurant in Åbo! We ate here once but had to come back the next day just for the outstandingly delicious food and great beer. We had the spaghetti with prawns and chilli snd I'm still in heaven. Recommend to book a table in advance.

  • 5/5 Inga H. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely place where to have dinner with colleagues! Tasty and big portions.

  • 5/5 Sebastián Campo T. 9 months ago on Google
    Amazing food! They have outdoor tables that during summer is perfect to enjoy the cool atmosphere of Turku having some food and seeing the river. There are many options and also some lunch special plates at an affordable price (around 13) for the good quality of food. They have vegetarian options.

  • 5/5 Futura R. 11 months ago on Google
    I currently studied with Amarni last year and in all honesty it was the best choice I ever made. She showed us all we needed to know, it was upto us to take it all in or not and to actually listen and pay attention. After completing her course we went away to practice and follow through with 10 models before her passing us which I think was the best way because we got to practice more before we got our gold stars. Every interaction I’ve had with her has been amazing and she always reply’s when I need her help. I understand also that she’s a very busy women and sometimes she can’t always reply back when we need her to and that’s okay. If you’re thinking about doing her course I say go for it, honestly what have you got to loose. Plus you get to learn from someone who knows what the bottom feels like. From her course I’ve started my own business and it’s been amazing I’ll always be thankful for the opportunity you give us women to learn. Thank you

  • 4/5 León van de P. 1 year ago on Google
    The mushroom and chicken pasta with a variety of herbs and berries looked like a Finnish forest in autumn on a plate. Great presentation and even greater pleasure to enjoy on a cold day.

  • 5/5 Toni P. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best in Turku. Great service, great food, good value for money.

  • 3/5 Janne H. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Small spaces, cramped and a lot of noise (about people and useless background music). No awareness of corona recommendations for safety intervals ... Too bad because the food was very good! I would not recommend Korona time or until Blanko takes safety distances into account. (Original) Pienet tilat, ahdasta ja paljon meteliä (ihmisistä sekä turhasta taustamusiikista). Ei mitään tietoisuutta koronasuosituksista turvavälien suhteen... Harmi sinänsä koska ruoka oli erittäin hyvää! En suosittelisi korona-aikaan tai kunnes Blanko ottaa turvavälit huomioon.

  • 4/5 Seppo L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) On top of that, a good and tasty lunch dish, a cherry cake on top of the tables serving. (Original) Viimeisen päälle hyvä ja maistuva lounasruoka, kirsikkana kakun päälle pöytiin tarjoilu.

  • 1/5 M K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The food is good but nothing else. The service has been disappointed many times. The staff does not seem customers interested and the level of service at most amateurish. Among other things, the waitress first brought the food from the other table to us, noticing the error, he laughed out loud and took the plates away without saying a word to us. We were required to pay the restaurant bill even as we moved from the dining table to the bar side. This would have been ok, of course, but when they never brought that bill and shouting after it went on forever. When the waitress gave us drinks that had to go to another waitress’s customers then the waitress came to yell at us about it. (Original) Ruoka on hyvää mutta ei muuta. Palveluun on joutunut monet kerrat pettymään. Henkilökuntaa ei tunnu asiakkaat kiinnostavat ja palvelun taso korkeintaan amatöörimäista. Mm. tarjoilija toi ensin toisen pöydän ruuat meille, huomattuaan virheen hän äänekkäästi nauraen vei lautaset pois sanomatta meille sanaakaan. Meitä vaadittiin maksamaan ravintolalasku vaikka siirryimme ruokapöydästä baarin puolelle. Tämä olisi toki ollut ok, mutta kun he eivät koskaan tuoneet sitä laskua ja sen perään huutelemiseen meni ikuisuus. Kun tarjoilija antoi meille drinkit, jotka piti mennä toisen tarjoilijan asiakkaille niin tarjoilija tuli huutamaan meille asiasta.

    Ihan hyvää vettä. Tosiaan siis muuta ruokaa ei saatu. Tultiin ravintolaan,meidät ohjattiin pöytään ja annettiin ruokalistat. Tämän jälkeen ei kukaan ei palvellut meitä millään tavalla. Ei edes juomatilausta tultu kysymään. Olimme pöydässä melkein puoli tuntia ja kyllästyimme odottelemaan. Ja ravintolassa ei siis todellakaan ollut ruuhkaa.

    (Translated by Google) Good service but cramped. The food was a small portion that was moderately good. A bottle of wine as an addition whose price / quality ratio was ok. (Original) Hyvä palvelu mutta ahdas. Ruokana pikkuannos joka oli kohtalaisen hyvä. Viinipullo lisänä jonka hinta/laatusuhde oli ok.

  • 5/5 Kari S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) One of the trendiest places in Turku. When spring arrives, even in March, you can sit on the terrace of Blanko without freezing, because the sun shines just right for it. In midsummer, the terrace can be a little too hot because the wall of the value building also reflects the heat of the sun from the back to the back side. Blanko's most legendary food is "Blanko lamb paste": pasta, lightly oil-marinated lamb tenderloin, seeds, arugula, suitable spices. Good wines; maybe a little pricing could drop 10-15% ?. But the place is Splendid! I highly recommend. Kari Salonen (Original) Turun yksi trendikkäimmistä paikoista. Kun kevät saapuu, niin jopa jo maaliskuussa Blankon terassilla voi istua paleltumatta, koska aurinko paistaa siihen juuri sopivasti. Keskikesällä terassilla voi olla vähän liiankin kuuma, koska arvorakennuksen seinä heijastaa auringon lämmön myös takaa selän puolelle. Blankon legendaarisin ruoka on " Blankon lammaspasta": pastaa, kevyesti öljymarinoitua lampaan sisäfileetä, siemeniä, rucolaa, sopivat mausteet. Hyvät viinit; ehkä hieman hinnoittelua voisi laskea 10-15%?. Mutta paikka on splendid! Suosittelen lämpimästi. Kari Salonen
