About us
We believe that simple is beautiful. We focus on pure, genuine and natural ingredients and flavors. For us, 1+1 is more than two.
Our head chef Sauli Kemppainen is a passionate professional whose goal is to go back to the roots of cooking where characteristic flavors of ingredients are valued and not too many flavors are mixed.
1+1 concept is our food philosophy
It might be that your plate will simply have two ingredients on it, but we ensure that they will have more flavor than you can ever imagine.
”It is like a return to the roots. People might be surprised. I want to use all my competence and professionality to show that something little on the plate can be something very big!”, Sauli promises.
Aesthetics is a big part of the whole, and that’s why Atelier7’s individual, personal and carefully thought-out plates are also handmade. The plates were designed and executed by PENTIK’s Tuuli Saarelainen.
Our Head Chef Sauli Kemppainen
Sauli ”Sale” Kemppainen was born in Oulu and is a top-notch chef with an education in catering. Sale has gotten his experience by working in a couple of dozen different restaurants in eight different countries.
He has received the desired Michelin star for the first time in 2009 as the head chef of the German restaurant Die Quadriga, and for the second time in 2019 for his own restaurant Savu operating in Berlin.
Sale became familiar for a large audience in Hell’s Kitchen – broadcasted on MTV3 – as the head chef and “head devil” in Hell’s Kitchen.
Kanresta
Kanresta’s business, that is behind Atelier7, consists of 33 individual restaurants in eight different locations.

Responsibility is at the core of the business and Kanresta divides its share of its profits to its owner’s – the Finnish Public Health Assocation’s – “Suomen Terveydelle” fundraiser.
