Finally May Day – start your summer in Särkänlinna
We have been waiting for this! The long winter is now behind us and we can open our doors again. We will kick off the summer season in Särkänlinna on May Day. So book a table, step on the ferry just off Kaivopuisto and make sure your balloons stay with you for the whole sea voyage – we’ll be waiting with bubbly drinks and delicious food.
On May Day, we’ll be serving a three-course menu designed by our head chef Mikko Pakola. There will be two settings (11. 30 am to 2 pm and 3 pm to 6 pm) – so you can still make it to the island after the park picnic.
Welcome!
