French bistro with a Scandinavian twist.
Bistro O mat is a restaurant family consisting of 3 restaurants, offering tasty food made of high-quality ingredients – with excellent customer service. Bistro O mat food is focusing on Finnish and Nordic seasons specialities combined with French cuisine traditions.
Bistro O mat story begins in 2010, when the first restaurant – Bistro O mat Kirkkonummi – was established next to the shopping center “Kirsikka”. The country-style restaurant especially prefers ingredients from local producers. The restaurant family expanded in 2019, as Bistro O mat Tapiola was opened in the city of Espoo – at the shopping center ”Ainoa”.The latest member of the family – Bistro O mat Hakaniemi – opened in September 2023 in Hakaniemi, Helsinki. This “City Bistro O mat” located at the 9th floor invites customers to enjoy both wonderful culinary experiences and views over the roofs of the city.
“Each restaurant has its own story and menu, but a certain Scandinavian-French bistro spirit unites all of our restaurants,” says Marko Palovaara, the Owner, and Head Chef of Bistro O mat.
