"Located in the same building as the iconic Restaurant Savoy, on the city’s central esplanade, this well-run brasserie is spacious, airy and deservedly busy. The cooking is classical with a southern French influence, so expect to find the likes of salade Niçoise and ratatouille on the menu. The chefs prepare their good quality ingredients with care, resulting in authentic and flavoursome dishes." - Michelin Inspector

Savoy

"This local institution’s refurbishment has restored much of its original charm and its 8th floor setting boasts superb views over Esplanade Park. Sophisticated classic dishes have a Finnish-French slant and a modern edge, with the occasional Russian touch. The wine matches are first class." - Michelin Inspector

The 18 Best Restaurants in Helsinki | Eater

"Restaurant Savoy is a Finnish dining institution if there ever was one. For more than 80 years, heads of state and hungry locals alike have admired Savoy’s view over the Esplanadi park. Modern tasting menus change with the seasons, but for an authentic Finnish experience, try the vorschmack, a tasty but unusual mix of minced lamb, herring, and loads of garlic; served with baked potato, a big dollop of sour cream, and pickles, it was the favorite dish of Baron Mannerheim, the marshal of Finland, who was a regular at Savoy and is said to have given the recipe to the restaurant himself.

Took customers to Savoy on a Monday, Christmas menu! Been first to Alvar Aalto ateljé so this was a continuance of that. The restaurant has always been one of my favorites, food, service and atmosphere. And still is. The sight over the City center is without a question just spectacular. This was an awesome experience for me as well as the customer.

A beautiful restaurant. The menu was very attractive and the food was delicious and the portions were just perfect. The wine list is exhaustive and although a bit expensive it was comparable with other restaurants in Helsinki but worth it. Great advice from the sommelier. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly. A wonderful experience in a historic setting

Elegant and yet personable, the service here matches the delicious range of items on the menu, each with its distinct flavour. Loved the history and storytelling as well as adjustments to the summer menu. An excellent representation of Helsinki and a fantastic Finnish experience.

I wanted to express my heartfelt thanks for the fantastic lunch you organized for our marriage day. Everything was perfect, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. The service was outstanding, the whole crew and especially thanks to our main waitress, who was attentive, friendly, and made everything run smoothly. The food was excellent from start to finish, and the beautiful cake you made for us was truly delicious. Please pass along our special thanks to the cook for such exceptional work. I also loved the table decoration, it added such a warm and elegant touch to our celebration and made the setting feel even more special. Thank you again for helping make our day so memorable. We will always remember it fondly and look forward to visiting again in the future.

Spot the right door from the street level and elevator will take you to top floor. Plenty of classic Finnish design. Very good natural friendly professional service. All dishes were tasty. Plenty of extra surprise complimentary portions frim the kitchen. Fine dinning quality.

It is one of the most popular fine dining restaurants in Helsinki. I visited on a Friday for dinner, the place was almost full. So, I strongly recommend those who plan to visit shall make a reservation in advance. The high standard yet friendly service topped in my ratings. The atmosphere was also great, The pianist played soft songs that blended well with the ambiance. And, most importantly, the sound level was just right. The food tasted great with enhancing, artistic, yet practical presentation. The price point in Savoy is extremely friendly for a Michelin star rated fine dining restaurant. And as the price index here in the Nordic is high, this makes the price here even higher value for money.

An unforgettable culinary experience Our visit to Savoy was an absolute highlight. From the first greeting to the last bite, every moment was perfectly thought out. The cuisine impressed with an exceptional balance of creativity and precision. The lobster deserves special mention, with its sophisticated composition of flavors. The wine accompaniment was excellently matched and emphasized the complexity of the dishes. The service was impeccable - professional, attentive and cordial without being intrusive. The atmosphere of the restaurant exudes elegance and tranquillity, which rounded off the overall experience perfectly. Savoy is a must for foodies and a real addition to Helsinki's culinary scene. We look forward to our next visit!

What a disappointment. It started from the aperitif with ice cubes in my Noilly Prat, that's a faux-pas. I took the 2 "famous" specialities of the restaurant: the "vorshmack" (herring mashed with minced meat... and that was "interesting mix" but not tasty) and the duck "à la Savoy" that was a game duck, quite dry, stringy and with a faint taste of seaweed. It was not bad, but it was not good either: it was average without surprise or creativity. The best dish was the complimentary "amuse bouche". So at least there was a St-Julien 2eme Cru (at a ridiculous price like all the wine list)... So I thought but... the waiter came back that they did not have it. Wine list not updated. Great. Service and the table presentation was pretending without the correct etiquette. Interior outdated. The best was the view in fact.

Savoy is THE restaurant institution in Helsinki. Beautifully set on the roof tops of the city. Immaculate food experience that is always in season. Extensive wine list and lot's of educated opinions about the selection. Beautifully professional service at the highest level. Gorgeous Finnish design everywhere. Serious attitude about the clients and their needs. And still it manages to be somehow cosy. They also have a little garden on the roof top with bees and all. Savoy has its roots firmly in the history of the Finnish art and culture scene. Even now some of the most interesting events in the Finnish culture world happen here. This is the place for the power-business-lunch and here culture and business people meet each other over high pace lunch or more quiet drink. It is well suited for drama, but also for the late night dinners that are best kept in the shadows

The Savoy is a lovely restaurant. As mentioned, it is high above the city with a great view. The service is the best. You feel very well cared for. The food is delicious and plated well. We had a cocktail on the terrace before dinner and it was a great way to start the evening. Go ! It's worth it.
