I am a passionate food traveler, both a videographer and a photographer, who loves to tell stories about cafés and restaurants around the world. In recent years, I have recorded many great tasting experiences on video and published them on my YouTube channel INDIVUETV. On my YouTube channel, you can find an inspiring playlist called “Restaurants and cafés around the world”, and it already contains more than 60 videos I’ve made. My goal is to publish many more new videos to it, so that at least the hundred mark is reached, maybe already this year, so do stay tuned and subscribe to the channel to get a notification as soon as a new video is published!
I want to encourage all my viewers and readers to go out again and enjoy a cup of tea or a good meal in a restaurant. The Covid19 years have been particularly challenging, so it is important to find joy and pleasure in the middle of everyday life.
On my channel you can get to know many different cafés and restaurants around the world. I have shot videos from India and Europe and traveled independently to different parts of the world to find the best taste experiences. I want to offer my viewers the opportunity to join these taste trips and experience different cultures and taste experiences for themselves.
My videos are music videos where I tell the story of a café or restaurant and the delicacies it offers. I want to create an atmosphere that takes the viewer on a journey and gives them the opportunity to experience the atmosphere and feeling of the place.
I believe that food tourism is one of the best ways to get to know new cultures and people. It opens our eyes to new taste experiences and gives us the opportunity to learn new things about different cultures.
I hope my channel and playlist will inspire you to get out and explore new places. Find new favorite cafés and restaurants in Finland and the rest of the world and enjoy good food and company. Have fun and let me take you on a taste trip around the world!
Restaurants and cafés in Europe and India Take a taste trip around the world –
In addition to restaurants and cafés in Finland and especially in Helsinki, I have also traveled to Europe and India in search of delicious and inspiring destinations. Unfortunately, in the beginning of the 21st century, it was not possible to digitally store objects nearly as well as today, if at all. However, my playlist already has several incredible restaurants and cafés from different parts of the world, such as a café from Vienna known from a movie, a café from the beach of Goa, and some of the best Indian restaurants in Europe.
I am especially excited that I have also been able to photograph healthy options, such as restaurants and cafés that offer raw food, vegetarian food and gluten-free food. I strongly believe that food can be both delicious and healthy, and this collection shows how that is possible.
On my channel, you can also get to know the vegetarian and fish food offerings of well-known ship companies in Finland, so you can get tips for ship trips. And Helsinki’s great cafés and restaurants are also plentifully represented, including Thai and Middle Eastern cuisine, a cat café and an ice cream bar on wheels.
At least a Yemeni restaurant from Helsinki, a Finnish restaurant from Espoo, a café from Fiskars and a grill from Alavus have already made it to the playlist from Finland. In addition, there is a grill in Nurmijärvi and a Turkish restaurant, cafés in Porvoo and Turku, and several restaurants from Åland.
There are even more cafés and restaurants from Helsinki, such as a Thai restaurant and a Middle Eastern restaurant in Helsinki. Indian and Nepali restaurants can also be found, of course. In addition to Goa and India, by June 2022 I have managed to make restaurant videos, e.g. from Poland, Sweden, Germany, Spain, Estonia, Holland and Latvia. So subscribe to my channel and enjoy the taste journey!
My collection is full of unforgettable taste experiences that are sure to be interesting for everyone who is enthusiastic about food tourism. So if you want to go on a taste trip around the world, grab your ear buds and sit down comfortably to watch these wonderful videos. And good news: more great destinations are coming up!

*pr-trip in blogcollaboration with Hiiohoi
My latest YouTube video tells you about a delicious lunch in the stylish restaurant Paven, which is located on the island of Pentala in Espoo, Finland. The good thing about this location is that even if you don’t own yourself a boat, it is possible to reach this Pentala island during summer time by water bus. And after one year, when the metro station will come to Soukka in Espoo, it will provide a relatively easy access to the Soukka boat dock. From there one can take the local bus and short walk. And then finally the water bus, ie the scheduled archipelago boats of the city of Espoo, will take you to the island of Pentala.
Watch from the video below what the restaurant Paven and its delicious lunch with pike and potatoes looked like and how nicely the sun was shining and the sea glistening from the seaview windows. The dessert was decorated with edible flowers, which crowned the meal and proved that even sea buckthorn berries can be made tasting nice and sweet when you know to do it.
Video duration: 2:11
Restaurant Paven on the island of Pentala The meal which you see in the video, included a starter drink and appetizers, main course made of pike and dessert of sea buckthorn, and the meal was almost gluten-free. Only 1/5 of the appetizers contained gluten. The meat in the appetizers was replaced with cheese on request and gluten-free bread was also arranged by the restaurant. The gluten-free beer which they offered was stunning and one of the best things enjoyed. Other unforgettable good taste experiences in this restaurant Paven were a greenish starter drink, the asparagus in the main course, and the gentle and visually impressive dessert which was decorated with sea buckthorn and edible flowers. The dessert was suitably sweet, not too much.
Restaurant Paven hosts many private events, but there will always be seats available at least on the terrace. More information can be found on restaurant Paven’s own website.
Restaurant Paven on the island of Pentala Pentala Archipelago Museum
In addition to the nature trail, there’s also the Pentala Archipelago Museum located next to Paven on the Pentala Island. The museum, which consists of several buildings, took you with its grandmother’s cottage somewhere to the time of the black-and-white films 100 years ago, telling about the life of the archipelago in Finland then. The grandmother’s cottage with its creaking floor, fireplace and other kitchen utensils were also reminding me of my own childhood summers in the countryside. The Pentala Archipelago Museum is a museum card destination and it is open during the summer season. Find more information from the City of Espoo website.
