Archipelago Gastronomic Experience

Welcome to experience an unforgettable dinner at Hotel Nestor & Restaurant Back Pocket. Our five-course tasting menu is made with the best raw-materials and ingredients that are in season, therefore the tasting menu changes on an almost daily basis. It is essential to us that every dish we serve is made from scratch in our kitchen. Quality and simplicity is a good summary of what we want to offer.

We recommend reserving at least two hours to fully enjoy the experience of the five courses menu.

I was raised in a home of artists, where art and culture have always been around. As long as I can remember, I have known that I wanted to work with art and creativity. After trying different disciplines, I finally found my own artistic identity as a chef. For me, cooking represents a multidimensional art form that includes so many things; the visual aspect, the thoughts behind the dish, the combinations of textures and flavours, temperature variations hot and cold! By painting and building an edible image using all these elements, I want to take people on a voyage to revive old childhood memories and create new impressions and taste experiences.
The journey that brought me here started when I was 16 years old and discovered the joy and creativity that the cooking offered me. After studying and working at the nowadays three-star Michelin restaurant Franzén in Stockholm, I decided to return to Korpo and start my own project. Restaurant Back Pocket was born in Hotel Nestor.
