Restaurant Aava brings together the flavors of the archipelago, seasonal ingredients, and the closeness of the sea to create an experiential dining experience.

Aava offers a restaurant experience where nature and the sea come together in carefully prepared dishes made from seasonal ingredients. At the heart of our food are clean and fresh Nordic flavors. We use domestic and seasonal ingredients, including local specialties. We aim to always include an element from the island of Ruissalo on our menu. At the moment, that element is the house spruce mayonnaise. In our cocktails we use Strand Gin, produced exclusively for us by Nagu Distillery, featuring flavors familiar from the archipelago nature such as meadowsweet, sea buckthorn, and pine. Aava’s restaurant space is located in a unique setting just above the Ruissalo shoreline. Large panoramic windows offer stunning sea views, and the restaurant has an intimate and soft atmosphere that blends naturally into the surrounding archipelago landscape. In the mornings, Aava offers a generous breakfast buffet, and the à la carte menu is available every day of the week. On Fridays and Saturdays, a popular dinner buffet is served alongside the à la carte menu. On Sundays, Aava’s brunch combines a plentiful brunch table with starters and desserts, along with main courses served as plated dishes.
