Strampen Harbour Restaurant
Ravintola Strampen
One of Finland's oldest restaurants, on the Vaasa waterfront, serving seasonal Nordic fish and game dishes.
Strampen sits on the seafront at Vaasa harbour. It is one of Finland's oldest restaurants, with more than 150 years of history, and its summer terrace overlooks the harbour. The menu changes with the seasons. Current à la carte dishes include cold-smoked salmon tartare, crayfish toast, sourdough-crumbed pike-perch, roast venison loin and braised lamb shank, and there is also a four-course set menu for €54. Lunch is served on weekdays from 11:00 to 14:30, and à la carte from Tuesday to Saturday, 16:00 to 21:00. It ranks near the top of Vaasa on TripAdvisor, and weekend dinners should be booked ahead. About a 15-minute walk from the city centre.
