Fodor's Expert Review Savoy

Given that its airy dining room was designed by Alvar Aalto and overlooks the Esplanade, it's no surprise that the Savoy is a popular spot for business lunches or occasion dining. This was Finnish statesman Marshal Carl Gustaf Mannerheim's favorite restaurant (in the late 1800s); he is rumored to have introduced the vorschmack (minced lamb and anchovies) recipe here. Savoy's menu usually includes reindeer fillet and a changing menu of inventive fresh fish dishes, such as juniper-smoked lavaret with chanterelles and grilled Mangalitza pork.
