Nouvelle cuisine reached Finland towards the end of the 1970s. It brought lightness to meals: more fish and vegetables, vegetable purées, steaming, fresh ingredients and attractively laid out portions.

Torni got off to an early start when the first waves of Paul Bocuse’s nouvelle cuisine reached Finland, and a light, delicious buffet was created for its scenic restaurant. The menu offered plenty of uncooked and cooked vegetables, salads, root vegetables and light fish and meat dishes.
