In this panorama restaurant you have delicious Scandinavian lunch buffet. If you have an urge to eat high above the ground, this might be just for you. The water tower in Haukilahti, Espoo in Finland doubles as a great lunch restaurant (Haikaranpesä or the Stork’s Nest) and provides an opportunity to see the southern Espoo with a 360 degree view from the top of the tower. You should go to the restaurant with time, because the place is very fine and the food is tasty and varied. At a price it is not cheap but definitely worth the recommendation. https://ravintolahaikaranpesa.fi/en/panoramic-restaurant-haikaranpesa/
