Zum Beispiel burger

One of the best things about Zum Beispiel is their bread bar. Yes, a bread bar! All meals include house made focaccia and black rye bread with butter and interesting salts. Be careful you don’t overload on the bread – it’s really good! For my meal, I opted for the Zigolo Dolce burger. It was accompanied by a small side salad, fries, and a very nice vegan mayo. The burger itself was pretty tasty and unique. The one problem was that the bread was a bit hard and there was a large zucchini slice inside. This, combined with a squishy patty, made it too messy to eat by hand. However, eating it with a fork and knife was also difficult, since it was hard to cut the tough bread! I must say here that it’s not just that I am a clumsy eater–my friend got the same thing and also had this issue! The lack of eating ease aside, the food was quite obviously of high quality, was creative, and tasted good. I’d recommend a visit!

Zum Beispiel also offers homemade ice creams. I didn’t sample them this time (bread and burger was enough for awhile!), but I have heard good things. I did have ice cream from Vanhan Porvoon Jäätelötehdas (Old Porvoo Ice Cream Factory) later in the day and this is also a good choice! While in Porvoo, make sure to check out the vintage clothing shops.
