Erinomainen laadukas kotiruokalounas. Etenkin tajunnan räjäyttävät paistetut muikut. Simpeleen parhaat karjalanpiirakat ja perunapyöröt.

Meidän perheen arvion mukaan Suomen parhaat käsintehdyt karjalanpiirakat saa täältä.

Erittäin positiivinen yllätys "keskellä ei mitään'. Superhyvä kotiruoka, äärimmäisen ystävällinen palvelu ja ihana pikkukylän ruokapaikan tunnelma, herttainen!

Todellakin mainoksen mukaisesti Simpeleen parhaat muikut. Maittavat muikut, ja oikeasta perunasta tehtyä muussia.

Aina kun täällä käy hakemassa sitä ruokaa tai pullaa niin se on täydellistä
