The story

Smör – Modern Nordic Cuisine in Turku, Finland

Chef Aleksi Lukka’s vision

At Smör, kitchen master Aleksi Lukka lets the ingredients tell their own story. The team works with the finest and most beloved raw materials from local farms and across the Nordic region, preparing each dish with responsibility and precision. The result is honest, flavorful and refined food that aims to create a complete evening – one that makes you want to return.

The food

The menu at Smör revolves around Nordic raw materials and traditional cooking methods, balanced with modern gourmet techniques. Guests choose between two carefully composed sets: the more comprehensive Signature menu (99 €) and a shorter Seasonal menu (72 €). Both change with the seasons and showcase the region’s best produce.

Dishes such as langoustine with winter potatoes and bacon, whitefish roe with aquavit, or duck from Söderslätt with salsify and shiitake mushroom highlight the kitchen’s respect for flavour and texture. Bread and butter is a course in itself, served with care. A drinks pairing – alcoholic or non-alcoholic – is available for both menus.

Recognition

Smör’s commitment to pure, thoughtful cooking has earned it a place in the Michelin Guide, where it is listed as a Recommended restaurant. It is a quiet nod to the quality and consistency the team delivers night after night in the heart of Turku.
