Savotta is a Finnish restaurant that offers genuine Finnish food and atmosphere, located just off Senate Square in the heart of Helsinki. The name “Savotta” means a logging site. Therefore, both the interior décor and the dishes are inspired by Finnish forests and thousands of lakes, with a touch of Finnish nostalgia from past decades and logging traditions.
Savotta’s kitchen cherishes Finnish culinary traditions. We use only Finnish ingredients sourced from pristine forests and lakes, as well as from carefully selected small suppliers. Our tableware includes both old and new china from the world-renowned Finnish brand Arabia.
In Savotta’s décor, you can see authentic artefacts originating from Finnish homes and logging sites of the past. The hundred-year-old floor planks in the downstairs dining room, along with the old chairs and tables, have been collected and brought to Savotta from all over Finland. We call this space the “Logging Camp,” and it is ideal for private events of 30–50 guests. From the street-level dining rooms, you can enjoy a view of Helsinki Cathedral at Senate Square.
