Savoy – Part of Finnish heritage

Restaurant Savoy has been on the top of Finnish haute cuisine since 30s. The place used to be favourite of field marshall Mannerheim, later a president of Finland. His favourite plate, vorschmack, is always available on the menu.

The restaurant is conveniently located on Eteläesplanadi park street, but it can be easily missed if you don’t know what you are looking for. There is just a small hall on the street level and the restaurant itself is located on the top floor of the building.

The service is excellent from the entrance to the exit. Savoy is one of the rare restaurant that has had our coats waiting for us upon leaving — and not the other way around as usual. The restaurant interior is filled with Alvar Aalto stuff, as the whole place is designed by him. The famous Aalto vase is known also as “Savoy vase”. The food, being excellent, too, is third good reason to go there.
