My wife and I just arrived in Helsinki and were staying at the Raddison Blu Seaside a short walk to Salve. The reception was pleasant and we knew we were in for a treat when we realised the restaurant was filled with locals. I chose...More

Salve is an old restaurant in Helsinki. Unfortunately moved from its "original" spot across the street to a new "shopping mall". Interior and feeling of the house is definitely lost, the menu and the staff the same. Here you can have Baltic herring fried in...More

My boyfriend and I had sauteed reindeer, alk hamburger and salmon soup and everything was very good, more than expectations. Kind stuff also. Recommended!

This traditional & old sailor restaurant (120 years) recently moved to a new location.Of course the new premises caused some losses of athmosphere. However, still the classic seafood on the menu, the seafood 'pyttipannu' or Baltic herring (silakka) are worth tasting.
