In 2008, Ilpo had a sudden idea: it would be nice to own a restaurant. Once the building permit was granted, it took just six months until opening day, and in 2009 Ström opened its doors.
“It would be nice to own a restaurant.”
Ilpo’s idea, 2008
Ilpo built the place himself. His craftsmanship shows in the building, in the kitchen and on every plate. He is Ström’s builder, owner and chef, and one of his creations, the Original Burger, has become the house classic.
Ever since, Ström has been a meeting place in Lappfjärd: on weekdays people drop in for lunch in the middle of the working day, and at weekends they come to eat and spend time in good company. Ström has also hosted the village’s school-holiday discos, business breakfasts and many other gatherings. The idea from 2008 still guides everything – a place where it feels good to be.
The next chapter is already under way: near Lappfjärd church, Ilpo is building a holiday village with ten cabins and a swimming pool. Read more about the holiday village →
