Friendly staff, cozy athosphere and lovely food. A quiet Thursday dinner with family, no other guests near us. The french fries were crunchy, liver and meatballs delicious. Salve pannu was huge and tasty. The waitress recommend the pancakes as dessert but were too full after...the main dishes, but will try another time. Maukkaat salven pannu, maksa sekä lihapullat. Rapeat ranskalaiset ja raikas alkusalaatti.More

I enjoyed an Excellent meal with friend. We had amazing service from Tupu who was very welcoming and friendly. The reindeer and liver dishes were fantastic. It was fairly quiet given the circumstances. Great location on the water front

VISITED with a friend for a nice lunch. Typical Finnish food, greasy and baked in butter. Nice personal and homely atmosphere.

I have visited Salve twice. First time I ordered a minute steak with fries. It was literally just a steak and fries and seasoned butter. No veggies, no dip sauce or anything. I decided to give Salve a second try, I ordered a seafood hash....It included roasted potato (some of them were a bit raw), tuna, shrimps, salmon and an egg yolk. The tuna & shrimps seemed like regular canned tuna and shrimps from the freezer from your local supermarket. The dishes were nothing special. For the price paid, I was expecting a little bit more effort put on the food. Both of the two dishes were like from a gas station or school cafeteria. However, my companion ate pike perch, which he liked. The atmosphere is also nothing special and the staff is quite friendly. Overall, the restaurant does not have a very good price-quality ratio. I wouldn't recommend, unless you want to eat pike perch with mashed potatoes, it was good.More

This legendary restaurant has been our favorite restaurant in Helsinki. Last time was a small dip down but this time was again the usual Salve. Delicious big portions and friendly service.

The service was lovely. We appreciated the salad bar as well. We really wanted to try local cuisine so (despite not being big seafood fans) we ordered the herring, salmon soup and pepper steak. My husband loved his steak. The salmon soup was delicious -...it was unexpectedly light and filling. Unfortunately we didn't like herring but we know that's due to our tastebuds. Everyone at other tables really enjoyed their herring. So if you aren't seafood fans - avoid the herring (but definitely try the salmon soup!!).More

We ordered two salads for the main course, and both were absolutely delicious. The service was extra friendly and fast. I recommend.
