Mother's Day lunch in Espoo
Buka is normally closed on Sundays, but on Mother's Day we are open 12:00–18:00 for everyone. It is an ordinary opening day, not a private event, so you can book a table for two as well.

Open 12:00–18:00 on a Sunday
Mother's Day is one of the two Sundays a year when Buka opens. Anyone can book a table; you do not need a separate arrangement.
Steaks from the charcoal grill
Sirloin and entrecôte are cooked over charcoal, where the surface of the meat reaches around 800 degrees. Beef cheek and pork neck are braised overnight in the stone oven. Nothing changes for the holiday: it is the same food our lunch guests come for.
