Pop-Up Restaurants Opening Today, for Today

.










"Restaurant Day in Finland is a one-day carnival in favour of a free-spirited restaurant and food culture:


Restaurant Day is a day when anyone and everyone is encouraged to open a pop-up restaurant, café or bar. Just for the day. The quirkier the concept, the better. No permission, no rules, just plain fun. Why? Because you’re worth it, because we love food, and because every city needs more no-strings fun. Hop on board and join dozens of enthusiastic restauranteurs – now catering to thousands of food and fun lovers all around Finland, and hopefully around the world!"

The first Restaurant Day was organised on 21st May, 2011 and the second one on 21st August, 2011. The event has taken Finland by storm, with 180 restaurants popping up in August. The next Restaurant Day is taking place today, on Saturday, 19th of November, 2011.










I'd love to attend. However, I just have to reminisce about our meal at a Helsinki restaurant called Juuri last year (see my post on the dinner here):
