Saivo Kitchen & Bar of Moments — Restaurant in Tampere sub-region

Saivo, located in the Nokia Arena as part of the Lapland Hotel, is a fantastic dining experience. We started with the Kuusenkerkkä GT, a Gin Tonic with spruce tip syrup, which was perfect. The "Amuse Bouche" was an excellent and tasty start to our meal.

For starters, we shared a tasting menu with highlights like potato flatbread with cold-smoked salmon, reindeer tartare, and an amazing profiterole with ash and mushroom cream. The profiterole really surprised us with how good it was.

For mains, we had the Fish of the Day (whitefish) and the Saivo Burger, both delicious. We also enjoyed some wine with our meal. Dessert was a delight with Cloudberry, caramel sauce, vanilla ice cream, and a selection of lingonberry and vanilla ice creams.

The Nordic feel of the atmosphere was perfect, and the staff were helpful and served with a smile. Overall, Saivo is a must-visit for fantastic food and...

When I visited it actually felt quite rushed but staff also didn't ask for timing. The interior is sleek with Nordic elements to it. Can be busy when there are events in the arena, so in any case book a table in advance.

The restaurant is on the 4th floor of the Lapland hotel and you'll need to enter from the hotel entrance at the street on ground level of the Nokia center. It's also where the parking garage entries are, you'll find a description on how to get there on...

Super delicious food - partially finnish style (reindeer, salmon, mushrooms). Excellent service and knowledge of dishes - reflecting to our way of talking and acting.

Breakfast has Lapland vibes - best hotel breakfast I have eaten in Finland! Coffee/tea served to the table. Omelette made by a chef for you.

I have eaten multiple times in different restaurants of Lapland Hotels (chain) and I have never had bad food or service.

Highly recommend if you prefer to have something different than a typical steak & chicken + french fries restaurant. Obviously they also have a meat/vegan burger with fries but the main point is different dishes than you may normally find in a...
