Really Good

I am vegetarian and I looked a while for a good vegetarian restaurant before I found the Market Hall... I found Roots Kitchen and I really recommend it. It was really really good, cheap and the staff is so nice :)
Bread and detox water are included in any meal order.
Go for it !

Pros: Really good, Nice place, Good value for money

Hidden gem

After walking around Turku in search for a good vegan meal with no satisfying result, I was lucky to discover Turku Markethall. The place has many vegetarian restaraunts, but the best for me was clearly Roots Kitchen. I was also lucky to find it on a Wednesday - apparently they have Vegan Wednesdays there. Very tasty food and friendly staff. The only thing is that you have to ask for the staff to translate the menu in English if you don't speak Finnish.

Fantastic burgers

I really enjoy the burger on Friday (ask for vegan), it's a perfect combination of health and junk.

Amazing lunch!

Very good, healthy and tasty lunch. Menu changes everyday and usually they offer a soup, salad and a warm meal that you can choose from. Been there twice and would recommend to anyone looking for delicious, quite affordable (9-10 euros) priced meal. I will definitely come back again while in Turku!!

Pros: Healthy, Nice atmosphere

Average

We had lunch here during our brief visit to Turku. Out of the three items on the menu, two were vegan and we ordered both of them to share. One was a curry and the other an Asian inspired salad. Portions were good. Bread and hummus or butter was included as well. But I really didn't find the food all that great. The hummus was a little off. The curry tasted flat and the rice underneath was all mush. The salad was on the bland side and could use more aromatics. Maybe it was an off day? I would've liked to give it another try, but I didn't have time the next day. This is a 3 for me.

Pros: value

Cons: food

great brunch

I've only been here for a brunch two times. But both times I had excellent food. It's popular for brunch, so it might be crowded and you might have to wait half an hour for your food. Best coffee in town!

Pros: delicious food, great coffee

Cons: can be crowded, might have to wait for long

Delicious lunch restaurant

This is so good lunch restaurant in Turku's market hall, middle of the city! Main food are mostly "orient vibe", but this place serves also burgers, tortillas etc. There is also soups and salads on offer. Wednesdays are usually "vegan wednesday", but it's possible to get vegan food also on other days. Brunch is available on satudays. Food menu chance every week. Staff is ok, sometimes a little bit busy.

Pros: tasty vegetarian/vegan food, location, brunch

Cons: expensive, sometimes repetitive menu

get your vegan butts here now!

OMG this was an amazing meal!!! So delicious. I had a lentil curry with rice, salad, broccoli. The Broccoli was cooked with witchcraft... Of the best kind; never tasted anything like it... So so good! You get bread with your meal and this gorgeous pea purée style dip and free water, tea / coffee. Worth a trip to Turku just for this place. Staff are friendly, translated the menu, really lovely and the market hall is a great environment. Seek it out and enjoy

Pros: delicious, friendly, great environment

Delicious And A Lovely Place To Eat

Walked into the gorgeous market hall and found Roots Kitchen really easily near the back. Friendly staff translated the daily special which was lentil curry with roasted squash on a bed of pearl barley. Topped with yoghurt, and shredded carrot and courgette. It was so delicious, warming and filling. Complimentary water, tea and coffee it.
Also had a spicy sweet potato soup on the menu.
I would definitely eat here again! My meal cost €9.20 and came with bread.

Pros: Delicious!, Nutritious, Friendly
