The renown and quality of Puruvesi vendace are based on its clean living environment. Their bones are softer compared to vendace caught from other lakes, and the crystal-clear waters of Lake Puruvesi creates the most high-quality fish as well as ensuring their double intake of vitamin D from sunlight.

 

As well as clean and local food, the people of Savonlinna invest in good service and atmosphere. A dinner in the medieval Olavinlinna Castle is a fantastic experience. Similarly, a table laden with Savo and Karelian foods made by your farmhouse host in a relaxed countryside surroundings is truly an unforgettable experience.
