Our Story

The Finnish Bistro specializes in Finnish and European specialties and is the creation of Soile Anderson.

Since moving to the United States from Finland more than 30 years ago, Soile combined her love of cooking and artistic flair and started Deco Catering, now one of the premier catering companies in the Twin City area. She is the former owner of Taste of Scandinavia Bakery and Café, a restaurant that grew to 3 locations in the St. Paul area. Soile retained the St. Anthony Park restaurant, the site of the original Taste of Scandinavia, because "the people and neighborhood have become like family to me." Now renamed the Finnish Bistro, it continues the tradition of good, healthy food blended with Solie's knowledge of foods from Europe as well as from all over the world.

Stop in soon for a visit, the Finnish Bistro is sure to become your favorite neighborhood gathering place.
