Memory, reimagined.
Kasvio means herbarium — a name that comes from a childhood spent foraging in Eastern Finland, gathering and learning plants one by one. We still look at every ingredient that way, and see plant-based cooking as a means of turning memory into something new, without losing the thread back to where it came from. Every dish starts with a story: a walk through a Dutch forest, brought to a plate, ingredients from farmers and foragers we know by name.
Our tables are made from fallen trees just outside the city; the floor, from old railroad ties.
The experience
A seasonal, entirely plant-based menu built in three parts — Garden, Fire and Woods.
Taste further into each part the more courses you choose — pair it with a glass of wine or one of our house-made kombuchas, whichever feels right.
“What we eat is always connected to stories and memories. I’m less interested in disrupting those ties than in creating new kinds of connections to our food histories.”
— Mari Pitkänen
