Wilhelm Å restaurant and bar is rather new and one of the nice places to drink and eat in Porvoo, no doubt by far my favourite of the many places here by the river. We had nice friendly service here and could choose from a wide range of different tastes in the menu. Stakes, chicken, fish, salads, sandwiches, will satisfy anyone for a snack or a full meal. In the summer by the warm sun in the terrace by the river, what more you could ask?

I'm afraid I have some difficulty in writing down the name of this place, but is very easy to find. It’s located right on the river Bank, and has an esplanade inside
The river, on a transformed boat. I only had a beer, to rest a little and catch some sun.

If you are looking for good food and good value for money, this is your place.
It is perfectly located in the Old Town and it has around 60 seats. It is pretty busy place during lunch hour and both local and tourists have found the place. Definately good value for the money!
They do lunches and have a menu. It is not a gourmet-place but the food is home made kind of food. They serve typical Finnish home made food for lunch. You may choose from their menu also, like escalope of veal!
The lunch prices are from six to ten euros.
Open 1.5.-31.8. :
Mon-Sat 8am-5pm, Sun 10am-5pm
At other times:
Mon-Sat 8am-4pm, Sun 10am-4pm
It would be hard to find better value for your money in Porvoo. ;-) My favorite place when I'm hungry and want to eat out.
Favorite Dish: Meatballs with smashed potatoes.

They have very good value of real tea(not just bags and hot water)with many flavours(I´m a"tae-person",and don´t drink coffee),and also coffees with different flavours.and their coffees and teas are big-even if not any more expensive,than in other places.They also have delicious cakes-and not small pieces those either!
They also have a nice terrace behind the building,in old garden,and rooms to let.
Place looks like grandmothers home in old films.
Favorite Dish: I took cheese-cake,and my husband took a chokolade-cake,and both were very satisfied.My husband took cinnamon-coffee or something like that-I had tea with many flavours mixed-can´t remember the name.All good and BIG!

For a great cup of coffee go to Porvoo Coffee Roastery which is located beside the shore houses in Old Town. It has excellent views and the building is gorgeous, and so is the coffee.
Favorite Dish: Coffee

This restaurant has to be one of the best in Porvoo, its located in Old Town in a beautiful 18th century building next to the church which was once the Judges Chambers. The menu specializes in game and Finnish dishes.

The Gluckauf is a lovely old 19th century sailing boat oozing with charm and character, its a fabulous way to dine in the summer months. The Gluckauf is located on the river waterfront pavilion.

I must admit that we didn't eat here, but at least we had a close look at the restaurant from the inside and outside.
The restaurant building is an old wooden log house from the 18th century, therefore the rooms offer a special historical atmosphere. In summer time the terrace invites people for a rest.

The restaurant athmosphere is classy and like no other in Porvoo. The building is jugent style and so the rooms are spacious and high.
Some days they provide live piano music (a student playing).
Favorite Dish: Cafe Cabriole provides lunches (very delicious) Mon-Fri between 10.30-13.00 from a buffet table with economical price, if I remember correctly it is 7 euros per person... worth every cent!
Their cakes are most delicious ones. They have different big sortiment, like cheese cakes, berry cakes etc.
They also do salty pies (comes with sallad) and filled rolls.
Cappuccinos, cafe lattes, finnish coffee, espressos, wine, liquires, cognac etc.
I can highly recommend this classy cafeteria!
