Saimaa Gastronomy tour

saimaa-gastronomy-tour

Restaurant Koskivahti is located in the Sahanlahti Resort in the very heart of Lakeland, Puumala – 1,5 hours west of Punkaharju. In the Koskivahti restaurant, you'll be able to taste culinary treats prepared by the resort's chefs in one the most beautiful terrace sceneries in Finland. The history of Sahanlahti ('saw bay' in Finnish) dates all the way back to 1740s.

Our kitchen uses local ingredients from Saimaa region.

Koskivahti's terrace view is one of the finest in Finland.

Restaurant Koskivahti and hotel reception

Sahanlahden päärakennuksen ravintola Koskivahdissa hemmottelet makuhermojasi kokkiemme itse valmistamilla lounailla sekä illallisilla – Suomen kauneimmissa terassimaisemissa. Kartanomainen rakennus on alkujaan ollut Sahan johtajan virka-asunto ja kirjailija Elsa Heporaudan synnyinkoti. 

Kodikas, mutta arvokas tila sopii erinomaisesti myös juhlien viettoon aina 120 hengen tilaisuuksiin saakka. Aurinkoisella terassilla on lisäksi tilaa noin 100 hengelle. Koskivahdissa on myös pieni kabinetti, joka soveltuu alle 20 hengen yksityisempiin kohtaamisiin.

Koskivahdin kesän tarjonta

Sahanlahden aamiaisella voit nauttia kotitekoisia, perinteisiä karjalanpiirakoita, Kaartilan Mallaspossun savustettua kinkkua ja yön yli hidastettua luomuohrapuuroa, jota varten jauhamme jyvät itse.

Päivän aikana tarjoamme sesongin lounasta päivittäin vaihtuvalta listalta.

Ravintola Koskivahti tarjoilee iltaisin à la carte -annoksia paikallisten pientuottajien raaka-aineista. Ruokalistalta löytyy Savonlinnan Tiisanmäen lammasta, Juvan Kaartilan Mallaspossun lihaa ja tietysti Puumalan kuuluisaa kirjolohia.

Suosittelemme pöytävarausta lounaalle ja illalliselle. Otamme pöytävarauksia vastaan toukokuun alusta alkaen.

Koskivahdin aulassa on myös pieni viehättävä myymälä, josta voit ostaa matkamuistoja ja jotain kivaa itsellesi. Kahvila on avoinna klo 10 alkaen ja siellä on tarjolla tuoreita leivonnaisia, luomukahvia, Juvan TeaHouse of Wehmaisin haudutettua teetä sekä virkistäviä kesäjuomia ja jäätelöä.

The cosy but elegant space is also ideal for parties of up to 120 people. The sunny terrace can also accommodate around 100 people. Koskivahti also has a small cabinet, suitable for more private meetings of fewer than 20 people.

During the day, we serve a seasonal lunch from a daily changing menu. 

In the evenings, Koskivahti restaurant serves à la carte dishes prepared from ingredients from small local producers. The menu includes Tiisanmäki lamb from Savonlinna, Kaartila Mallaspossu pork from Juva, and of course, Puumala’s famous rainbow trout. 

We recommend booking a table for lunch and dinner. 

The Koskivahti lobby also has a charming shop where you can buy souvenirs and something nice for yourself. The café is open from 10 am and serves freshly baked pastries, organic coffee, brewed tea from TeaHouse of Wehmais in Juva, and of course, refreshing summer drinks and ice cream.
