We want food to taste like food!
The world is full of amazing flavors. Kerubi can only be found in Joensuu. Because we want to be both here and there, our dishes combine flavors of the world with traditional Carelian techniques and ingredients. We are happiest when our tummies are full.
We appreciate local ingredients grown just around the corner. Our sauces are hand-crafted by our chefs. We let local flavors shine because we like it that way.
We also do catering from festivals of thousands of people to smaller events and occasions. If you’re planning an event in Ilosaari or anywhere in the region and need a good catering service, contact us!

Kerubi's community is a sum of many good individuals. We have our strengths and our own visions of what is a perfect burger. That's why we wanted to give a voice to our good people and asked them to design their perfect burger to share with you. Every month we will release a new burger, a different, tasty story from one of the people of Kerubi that we want to share with you through the medium we love best: delicious food.
Isa is one of our waitresses. When she's not working lunch, events or our à la carte, Isa sings and plays the keyboard in her own band. Isa is interested in the ebbs and flows of restaurant trends, wines and new and exciting flavor pairings. Her favorite season is autumn and Isa's signature burger is all about combining the autumn flavors of winter squash, lingonberries and cranberries.
