Pikante Restaurants

Pikante has four lunch and on-demand restaurants as well as three cafés. The association started its operations in 1962, when the first kiosk and café of Pirkanmaa Kansanterveys ry (public health association) was opened at the newly completed Tampere Central Hospital. The aim was to raise funds for local heart and cancer associations through high-quality café and kiosk activities. Today, Pikante-ravintolat have grown into a restaurant chain with an annual turnover of EUR 6 million.
