Smoked taste experiences
in log storehouse from 19th century

Restaurant Savu is located on Island Tervasaari, on the eastern shore of Helsinki center. In the old days households were counted based on the number of smoke (=Savu) plumes you could see rising from a village. Restaurant Savu is the only "savu" on Island Tervasaari. The red Tervasaari storehouse, built in 1805 for storing tar barrels,  creates an unique milieu for Savu.

As far we know, Savu is the only restaurant in the world that uses smoke-curing in preparing all the dishes it serves. Smoke-curing is one of the oldest methods of cooking. At Savu you will enjoy appetizers and main courses smoked with various methods or seasoned with smoke aromas. The dessert menu is short but tasty. The only dessert is pancakes prepared by our special pancake chef. With pancakes you will get several delicious accompaniments.

Welcome to enjoy!
