Gustavo is a delicate fusion of the best seasonal ingredients, Mediterranean inspiration, and the unique ambiance of the Aura River. Handpicked wines and the finest selections from Italy, France, Spain, and the Mediterranean shores come together here. In Gustavo, umami and sour mingle harmoniously with delicate sweetness. And that bread has already gone into the oven today, welcome.
The night is still young – and so is the bar
Gustavo now has a brand-new cocktail bar, where you can stop by for one, stay for another, and let the Mediterranean mood take over. We’ve taken the art of pairing food and drink at Gustavo a little further. Our new cocktails draw inspiration from Mediterranean flavours and Gustavo’s dishes. Sidecar el Fico, Martini alla Iberica, Daiquiri do Basilico, Gilda and Pomodoro are more than just drinks – they’re crafted to take your Mediterranean culinary journey to a whole new level.
Every now and then, the evening comes with live music or a DJ – and, just like in the Mediterranean, this is a place where you can forget about the rush and take your time.
Wine is not just a beverage – at its best, it's poetry.
In the end, it's quite simple. Wine is good if it tastes good to you. Real expertise comes into play when seeking the best connection between wine and the menu. Relentless pursuit is our central characteristic here. We establish an exceptional connection between wine and food – we create a duo, so that your evening is sprinkled with pure magic. That's why our cellar is never complete but always nearly full.
A good menu is like a captivating story.
Gustavo has been shaping Turku’s restaurant scene for more than 10 years. Now we’ve switched into Gustavo 3.0 mode – because a Mediterranean restaurant that respects itself needs to evolve with the times.
At the renewed Gustavo, Mediterranean flavours take an even bolder place on the plate. We’ve ventured into the world of dry-aged meats and fish, and we’ve also taken the art of pairing food and drink at Gustavo a little further.
But don’t worry – renewal doesn’t mean forgetting the all-time favourites. We listen to our guests, so some Gustavo classics are here to stay. Quail legs in bolete foam and vitello tonnato aren’t going anywhere, and neither is the intense flavour of Iberico pork.
So, Gustavo is, among other things, a restaurant.
Gustavo is more than a place for dinner. Our spaces are made for lunches, meetings, client gatherings, team days and Christmas parties – and we can also bring the Gustavo experience to you.
Alongside our popular wine school and tastings, we now offer Mediterranean cocktail classes, where shakers get to work and cocktails are discovered from a whole new angle.
And let’s not forget the Gustavo gift card. An inspired choice for someone who already has everything – including an appetite.
