- A quick review examines the renovated Carl Wilhelm restaurant at Vanajanlinna in Hämeenlinna.
- The restaurant’s new leader comes from Michelin-starred Olo.
- The reviewer finds good flavors but says the food does not yet match the castle’s grand surroundings.
Vanajanlinna’s Carl Wilhelm restaurant offers an imposing setting, but its food has not yet reached the same level, according to a quick review.
The restaurant, located in a castle on the shore of Lake Katumajärvi in Hämeenlinna, has appointed a new leader from Michelin-starred Olo. Some dishes deliver good flavors, but the overall experience falls short of the expectations created by the elegant dining room.
Vanajanlinna has hosted guests for more than a century. Completed in 1924, the castle has passed through the hands of wealthy power brokers, Nazis and communists. It now houses a hotel, a golf course and the Carl Wilhelm restaurant, named after the castle’s builder, Carl Wilhelm Rosenlew.
