About

Cafe Rooster, located in the heart of Oulu on Torikatu 26, is one of the city’s most beloved local spots, blending casual cafe vibes with a lively pub atmosphere. From freshly brewed coffee and hearty brunches in the morning to sumptuous dinners and craft beer evenings in the cellar, there’s something for every palate. The menu showcases a mix of classic Finnish favorites—roasted chicken, salmon chowder, and traditional rye bread—as well as global flavours such as lamb mash‑roast, Caribbean‑style jerk chicken, and vegan falafel. All dishes are crafted with locally sourced ingredients: meat from Finland, salmon from Norway, and dairy from nearby farms. Pet‑friendly seating allows dogs that behave appropriately, and wheelchair access is fully accommodated. Reservations are available for lunch (starting 12:30 pm) and dinner, especially during peak times; walk‑ins are welcome if space permits. The venue’s pub, “Pub Rooster,” opens its doors later in the week, offering an extensive beer selection that ranges from local micro‑brews to international imports. The bar is renowned for its relaxed, social ambience—perfect for after‑work drinks or a casual night out. The café’s indoor seating features a warm, Nordic interior with ample natural light, while the outdoor patio brings the dining experience into Oulu’s crisp air. Whether you’re looking for a quick bite, a leisurely lunch, or a vibrant evening with friends or family, Cafe Rooster delivers quality food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it a must‑visit in Oulu.
