Great vegan lunch and dinner! - Edit
I've visited the new Bistro Papu & Pata a few times for lunch and dinner. I really love the place and food! For lunch I've had lasagne and tomatopesto pasta (among other great dishes), but there's usually always also a soup and salad option. It's also possible to get a take away lunch. If you want great vegan food, this is the place to go!

Previously vegan restaurant - now serving most unethical meats too - Edit
They were one of my favourite resturants at the old location where they had an all-vegan buffet.
Read moreMoving to a new location and after concept change to bistro they have now started selling chicken, norwegian salmon and pork sausages on weekends. Definately not a Vegetarian restaurant like stated on Happy Cow listing.
I'm very disappointed even their lunch is still vegan on weekdays.
Cons: Changes from vegan to vegan options

Okay home-cooked style food - Edit
Three lunch options to choose from daily: soup, salad, or one main course. Portions are pretty small, but a modest salad bar with bread and coffee/tea is included. Food nothing fancy, more like home-cooking. Service not very welcoming. Evening menu includes meat and dairy as of August, so not a vegan/vegetarian restaurant anymore.

Lovely small dishes - Edit
In their new concept Papu &Pata offers a changing lunch menu on the weekdays and on friday night and saturdays (all day) they have an a la carte menu with small dishes to combine.
Read moreWe tried the fully vegan a la carte menu, and everything sounded so delicious that it was difficult to decide what to order! We had six dishes plus desserts to share with the two of us. Our favorites were the carrot lox, roasted potatoes, and caesar salad. Also the french toast dessert was lovely.
Our only critique is that altogether many of the dishes were quite acidic, and the desserts felt slightly overpriced. But the service was friendly and all in all, we enjoyed the food a lot. Fresh ingredients and good flavors! Warm recommendation!

Lovely lunch - Edit
I ate lunch for the first time. Tomato pasta was really tasty, except there could have been tiny bit more sauce. Salad table was perfect.

Excellent vegan buffet - Edit
By far the best buffet my partner and i have tried. Everything is vegan, plenty of gluten free options. The food was tasty, fresh and well seasoned. The value for the price point is also great and cheaper than most non-vegan buffets, and you arent stuck eating a non-filling meal with no substantial protein source. Plus, if you only want salad and soup or just soup, you can pay less. We were too full to try a dessert but the pastries and kiisseli looked delicious. If we lived in Tampere we would eat here all the time.
Read morePros: Good value for price point, Quality food, Plenty of gluten free options

Best lunch spot at the city - Edit
Fully vegan lunch buffet with delicious options that vary day to day. My favourite place for lunch in Tampere! Sometimes they also have special days like waffle or pizza buffet, which have also been great.

Perfect place! - Edit
I love this restaurant! You can either choose the salad menu (includes the salad buffet, bread with different spreads, soup, dessert and tea or coffee) or the main menu. The main menu includes everything the salad menu does plus a couple of warm dishes.
Read moreEverything is very tasty and I especially love the garlic spread they have for the bread. After the awesome lunch / early dinner you get to have a dessert with a warm drink. Could it be more perfect? The staff is friendly, too. You can also buy buns, cinnamon rolls, pieces of cake etc to go. Everything is clearly marked and the buns and rolls are always vegan.
In December 2018 salad menu 9e and main menu 10,90e.
Pros: tasty food, good value, friendly staff
Cons: none
