Welcome to Saaga

Saaga is a Finnish word meaning story. Our restaurant tells a story of Finnish flavours, combining the country’s rich culinary heritage with modern influences. Finnish cuisine is deeply connected to nature and the changing seasons.

Finnish nature gives us its finest ingredients — we simply bring out the best in them. Berries, mushrooms, fish and game are at the heart of our cuisine, prepared with simple techniques that let their pure flavours shine.

Saaga has seating for around 120 guests across two floors.

Saaga's signature since 2004

Our alder-smoked Finnish rainbow trout has been a Saaga classic since 2004. Smoked in-house and served at the table in its own smoking box, it brings together Finnish tradition, pure ingredients and a memorable dining experience.

Saagan klassikko jo vuodesta 2004. ❤️

Kotimainen leppäsavustettu kirjolohi on kuulunut Saagan menuun jo yli 20 vuoden ajan.

Tänä päivänä lohi tuodaan pöytään näyttävästi omassa savustuslaatikossaan, mikä tekee annoksesta elämyksen jo ennen ensimmäistä suupalaa.

Lohen kanssa tarjoillaan kuohkeaa perunamuusia, hapankerma-piparjuurikastiketta ja mummonkurkkuja.

Oletko jo maistanut Saagan klassikkoa?
A taste of the Finnish harvest season. 🇫🇮🫐

As summer turns into autumn, Finland’s forests come alive with wild berries. This is the season when Finnish homes fill their kitchens with the flavours of the forest.

One beloved traditional dessert is puolukkavispipuuro, a light and fluffy whipped lingonberry semolina pudding.

At Saaga, we take inspiration from this Finnish classic and give it our own twist: whipped lingonberry semolina pudding served with blueberry milk and roasted white chocolate.

A taste of Finnish autumn, 
right in the heart of Helsinki.
