Restaurant Kuu was opened on Töölönkatu in May 1966. The name of the restaurant probably refers to the space activities of the era and the topicality of the hearings. In the previous decades of the 20th century, the restaurant housed e.g. Sauna of Suomen Sokeri Osakeyhtiö located in Töölönlahti. From the very beginning, the slightly French-influenced Moon has been especially loved by customers from Töölö, and now people are traveling to the Moon in the second or even third generation. And even from behind the Atlantic https://ravintolakuu.fi/
