Nice cosy Resturant in Finspang. Varied menu, and outdoor seating available. Good selection of local beers. They provided a big screen outside for watching the game. Helpful and friendly staff. Ordering is done via an app so very convenient.

Located by the city square, this restaurant was a nice surprise. The interior is cozy and the staff very attentive and gave us advice what to eat and drink. Food tasted good and was well prepared.

Not much to say, good food and nice service. Ordered the inhouse burger with homemade fries, very tasteful.

Not much to chose between, the menu was the same as last time we visited it! Food is okay but not much to talk about! Not worth the money

We had done a preorder, since we were quite a large group. The staff were polite and the dishes were served rather quick The food was good. It was enough of meat and french fried. The Gino, dessert, was not to recomend.

Been at Joans several times and mostly the food is really tasty. The sallad buffet is good but during lunch rush hours there is some waiting time if the place is full. It can be a bit crowded since the logistics inside is not the...best. Their own feta cheese dressing is SO good.More

Nice lunch, fast service and the pricing is fair. The food is well cooked and the spices go well together. :-)

Nice food, nice beer, good service. They have an English menu so it's easy to order even if you are a stranger. Nice salads and very well cooked meat.

A group of us visiting the Siemens facility were told to eat here. With few other options we decided to give it a try. While maybe they didn't have an English menu in the past as stated in other reviews, for our visit they DID...have a menu in English although it didn't seem to have everything on it that the Swedish version did and the prices weren't exactly the same. The food was good - no complaints whatsoever. As I mentioned, there's few other options in town so this turned out to be a nice place to eat.More

Having stayed in Finspang for 4 weeks recently I've used this place a few times to eat as anyone traveling there will soon find out that there isn't that much choice! There are two outstanding issues with this place for me. Firstly, although they have...a website in English, they don't have a menu in English which I find very strange indeed considering that there is a huge factory just over the road employing people from all over the world? Secondly, the interior. I'm pretty sure it's just been 'renovated' but clearly on a budget. The ceiling is terrible, cheap 1970's suspended tiles that have been put up very badly indeed, I'm no ceiling fitted but I could have done a better job with my eyes closed! It's all very, very cheap and nasty inside and the outside needs painting and tidying up. The food is at best average, steak, burger and pasta (and not much choice) served with the usual cheap fries probably bought in massive catering sized bags frozen. The first time we went in the girl that served us kindly offered to even translate the menu, I declined as I can understand Swedish written well enough to work out what was on offer, the second and third time I went in however the staff were much less helpful and seemed like they really wanted to be elsewhere. I got my food thrown on the table and that was the end of the service part of the event. It also is VERY noisy on a Saturday night as they seem to have some sort of disco on which attracts lots of people shouting outside (if you're stopping in the hotel opposite, this is a problem). Overall, very average but locally there is little option.More
