Ravintola Savotta
A traditional Finnish restaurant right next to Senate Square, themed around a logging camp and serving northern delicacies like reindeer and bear.
The restaurant's name means "logging camp," and the interior is decorated with old Finnish household items and logging artifacts, with the downstairs dining room featuring century-old floorboards. The signature dish is the Suursavotta platter, which showcases a selection of Finnish land and sea appetizers. Other highlights include roast reindeer served with reindeer sausage, and Karelian stew; bear meat dishes are available depending on the day's supply. Main courses range from €28 to €69, and traditional set menus are priced from €59. Located right next to Senate Square, it is easily accessible on foot, and reservations can be made on their website. Reviews generally praise the reindeer and the appetizer platter, though some find the prices on the higher side.
