Food Co Aimo - Jyvaskyla

This is a basic (Fazer-branded) Finnish food at noon. They are not open for dinner/suppliers. There are usually some different options, including a vegetarian. In summer there is only one buffet line with some salads and a few big courses. The food is generally quite good and varied. If you are a student, they also have the cheap student lunch option that costs only €2,60 (in 2019) with a valid Finnish student card.

You need to know that this restaurant mainly serves students lunch, so I think it is not suitable for fine restaurants or catering purposes, but I would recommend this place if you want a cost-effective functional lunch. I was on 26 October 2018 for a concert dinner. The quality for a 15 Euro veggie-based dinner was ok, but it lacked bread selection and the types of salads. It seems that the idea was to bring the salads more taste and sweetness with grapes, plumomates and pineapple. Grapes and tomatoes were fine, but the pineapples did not fit too wet. There were sunflower and pumpkin seeds that you could add if you wanted. There were also chicken salad, but the chicken was almost tasteless. I added table salt to make it better. I don't use dressings, but the olive oil I made was fine. All in all no very pleasant experience, but I had enough to eat.

Aimo is a student restaurant. I don't know what school is next, but it always seems to be packed in the lunch hours. You may need to wait for a good 15 minutes, which is a good piece of your time when you have a schedule. Looking for seats can be difficult. The place has bad parking when you are by car. The food is good and you are usually allowed to take a reasonable amount of it. You also have good bread. The food is very cheap when you're a student, so it's a little annoying. I don't suggest you pay the full price.

Cheap, beautiful salad buffet, where you pay by weight of food. Also attractive heavier lunch options available.
