C, FINLAND, 81 p

Tampere lies between two lakes where fish are known to thrive. A handful of them – often of the less appreciated species – are served at C, in an haute cuisine framing. This ambitious restaurant has cultivated the art of drying, fermenting, and pickling unusual herbs and weeds. The wine cellar is impressive, and service is of the personable, knowledgeable kind that makes you want to return, over and over.
