Bistro Sinne is close by the river but not quite next to it. We were looking for a place to have…read moredinner with view on the river. Luckily we were not that strict on the requirement that evening :) The place is well decorated with scandinavian menu. Most of the food is produced nearby, so the restaurant tries to operate ecologically. It has excellent menu and the food is just so good! Service was perfect and we felt welcomed. The staff really knew their trade. Price level is pretty normal for a Finnish place, starters, main course and some drink for two were about 100 euros. Sinne was chosen to be #11 on the "50 best restaurants" in Finland in 2012 - and I have no doubts it has earned it's place there rightfully. I can recommend the restaurant for good dinner for friends couples and business meetings alike.

Beautiful setting both inside and terrace. Dogs are allowed on the terrace and are provided with…read morewater without request. The waiting staff are young therefore service is little slow and unorganized. Many people had to wait a long time to be served. The menu sounds really good... But at least the burger was a total let down: over priced, not suitable for kids (even we had had a conversation with the server to make it suitable), you can not have fries with it even if you pay extra, the closest thing are the country style new potatoes... In the adults' portion there was ridiculously little amount of the side order oriental salad. I also find it strange that the coffee was served in Henrick's gin coffee cup. I was not having any alcoholic beverages. I feel it is a touristic place and they do not put enough effort to make it worth its cost.

We visited Johans on a sunny summer day and eating lunch on the terrace was an overall good…read moreexperience. The restaurant has a superb location with one edge on the riverfront while surrounded by the picturesque houses of Porvoo old town. The heart of the place is the owner, who gives the restaurant a very warm character. The food is very tasty. Staff is friendly. But, there are some drawbacks. Price is one. Also, there are some limitations to the offer. Burgers are highly advertised, but you cannot order fries. During summertime high season service was a bit sluggish.

Really good restaurant located in Porvoo. We came here at 1 pm on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy…read moreso no reservation was needed. If you're looking for a multiple course meal but don't want to break the bank, this would be your place. They offer courses from 2-4 course meals. A two course meal was I believe 28 euros, which is what I ordered. The menu changes daily and you're able to select one option from the starters, mains, and a dessert. I forgot what my starter was called or what it had but my main dish had perch. My bf had a starter with cucumber and roe, and ordered the perch as well. All dishes were on point with flavor. The service was pretty good. Although we walked into the restaurant a bit lost with no hostess, we eventually got seated. Our server was a really kind man who told us about each dish and even told us about some activities to do in Porvoo. Overall if you're willing to pay the costly price, I would definitely recommend this place :)

Excellent food for a couple with one meat-lover and one vegetarian. The lunch buffet looked…read moreextensive and well-prepared but we opted to order a la carte. The vegetarian meal was exceptionally well-prepared and creative and included smoked tofu, grilled and steamed vegetables and potato parsnip purée. The cheeseburger with fries was perfect --very juicy and delicious. The location is beautiful . There are tables outside on the lake, as well as tables overlooking the lake but with windows for comfort against the wind.

Didn't expect such an excellent place in the small town of Porvoo…read more I absolutely love their bread buffet... after ordering our entrees, we are free to help ourselves to their many bread offerings, and they are all so delicious! The restuarant prides itself in sourcing local and organic, so the price point is slightly higher, but the quality of the food totally makes up for it. They also have a great ice cream selection, as well as other dessert. The staff is really nice too. My phone was running low and I forgot my backup battery, and they were nice enough take my phone to charge for me.
