Wanha Makasiini Bistro - Lappeenranta

The creamy salmon soup was not really what I expected. It was more like salmon and vegetables accompanied with generous amount of delicious creamy sauce. Very surprising and creative

The food was very good. For beginners I had Hechttar and it was excellent. The Black Angus I had for the main course was well prepared and the potato cake and the vegetables were really delicious. It is a quiet place in a historic building and based on this experience I can warmly recommend this restaurant.

Good food, has terrace and indoors dining. You can see the lake but the road runs between so not a scenic place. Pretty expensive but good value. Kid’s portions were 13€ and as good as adult dishes.

Excellent casual bistro experience. We stopped by quite early in the evening and had no trouble finding seating. The food was well prepared, but a little on the heavy side for my liking with bacon, deep fried fish and creamy potato mash. The bistro is situated near to the water, but the view mainly consist of a car parking place. Excellent service!

Wanha Makasiini offers delicious wine pairings with mouth watering testing menus, as well as an a la carte menu. The location is a beautifully restored old building close to Lappeenranta harbor. The reason for 'only ' four stars is that the ingredients could be more locally sourced serving seawater salmon in a restaurant located by the biggest lake of Finland seems like a bit of a wasted opportunity...but I would still definitely recommend!
