If money's tight,
Gadolinia
, a
student mensa
, part of Abo Akademi on Henrikenkatu, offers Turku's cheapest
food
. The
Italia
, Linnankatu 3, produces sizeable and affordably-priced pizzas. For excellent food at sensible prices, it's worth trekking out to
Turun Hotelli Ravintola Oppilaitos
in the Data Centre, close to Turku hospital (take the train one stop to Kupittaa); run by the catering college, the food and service are excellent. Near the tourist office
Market Square
(Kauppatori) sells fresh produce, and in summer is full of open-air cafes, whilst nearby, the effervescent
Market Hall
(Kauppahalli; Mon-Fri 8am-5pm, Sat 8am-2pm) offers a slightly more upmarket choice of delis and other eateries. There are two decent riverside restaurants,
Pinella
, in Porthaninkatupuisto, or
Herman
, Lantinen Rantakatu 37, set in a bright, airy storehouse dating from 1849, with main courses costing around €10-25. Floating restaurants change each summer, but look out for
Papa Joe
and
Svarte Rudolph
. Popular
drinking
venues are
Uusi Apteekki
, Kaskenkatu 1, which, true to its name, is an old pharmacy complete with ancient fittings; and the atmospheric
Koulu Brewery Restaurant,
Eerikinkatu 18. Other useful information
