Restaurant Ranta-Aitta
Seven years of taste, landscape and simplicity in PorvooRanta-Aitta has been serving its customers for seven years in the historic riverside of Porvoo’s old town. One of the old warehouses has been transformed into a cosy restaurant, combining warm service, quality local ingredients and a taste world inspired by Nikkei – the Peruvian-Japanese cuisine.
Under the leadership of founder Robert von Bell, Ranta-Aitta has grown to become known as a place where you can relax and enjoy a good meal. We believe in wise dining – easy, fast, quality food that’s perfect for lunch or dinner. We’re not a fine dining restaurant, we’re about uncomplicated enjoyment, where taste and atmosphere matter.
Our story
Welcome to Restaurant Ranta-Aitta
Our kitchen uses the best Finnish ingredients of the season and combines them with Nikkei inspired techniques and flavours. Our menu includes tataki dishes and plenty of options to share or enjoy on your own. Our food philosophy is as approachable as the restaurant itself.
In summer, our customers enjoy the riverside terrace, but on cool evenings and rainy days we invite you indoors:
-
Takka-aitta (the Fireplace Granary) offers a warm atmosphere around an original fireplace – the perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal in an authentic setting.
-
Suola-aitta (the Salt Granary), without a fireplace, charms with its airiness and historic atmosphere – perfect for groups who appreciate relaxed privacy, quiet conversation and an intimate dining experience with a view.
