Dom Berga
Дом Берга
A popular café in a replica of the first mayor's house. Finnish creamy salmon soup and Karelian pies are the top picks for visitors.
Located at 6 Lenin Street, the café is a replica of the 1878 merchant's house of Berg, Sortavala's first mayor. The ground floor is a self-service café, the second floor sells Karelian specialties and souvenirs, and the third floor has local spirits and a tasting room. The most famous dish is Finnish creamy salmon soup. The karjalanpiirakka (Karelian pies) come with rice, potato, mushroom and cloudberry fillings, and the café has a namesake signature dessert. It is very popular and queues are common. Some visitors feel the prices are a bit high for a 'fine canteen.' Its city-center location makes it convenient for a meal while sightseeing.
