There is something exceptional about Porvoo. The old riverside warehouses glow in the evening sun, cobblestone streets carrying stories from centuries past lead you to small boutiques and cafés, and a distinctive sense of calm lingers in the air above the city. Porvoo is undeniably charming and unique – and now also Finland’s only Michelin city.

Porvoo Signature is a carefully curated experience where gastronomy, design and effortless luxury blend seamlessly together. In collaboration with Finland’s first Michelin Key hotel, RUNO Hotel Porvoo, and the Michelin-starred Restaurant VÅR, we have created a thoughtful journey where every detail has been chosen in advance – just for you.

Arrive in Style

The journey begins even before you arrive in Porvoo. In partnership with HelsinkiLimo, your experience begins right from your doorstep or any location of your choosing within the Helsinki metropolitan area. Private transportation ensures a seamless transition, giving you the space to simply be present and enjoy the moment.

With your return journey already arranged, you are free to surrender fully to the evening ahead.

A Michelin Evening at Restaurant VÅR

The centrepiece of the evening is restaurant VÅR, where you will be warmly welcomed. The staff’s exquisite hospitality is evident in every gesture and every carefully considered detail.

The menu is an exploration of the finest seasonal ingredients. Each dish reveals layers of flavour – depth, freshness and precise balance. They are composed with intention; colours, textures and aromas come together to form an experience that speaks equally to the eye and the palate.

The drinks pairing – whether you choose fine wines, a curated non-alcoholic selection, or a combination of both – has been designed to complement the rhythm of each course.

If you wish, you may begin or conclude your evening in VÅR’s atmospheric lounge.

A Night at RUNO Hotel Porvoo

After dinner, you will move to RUNO Hotel Porvoo, located at the gateway to Old Porvoo. Perhaps you opt for a nightcap in RUNO’s charming cocktail bar, continuing the evening’s conversations, or perhaps you choose to surrender to the comfort of sleep in your elegant room.

Behind the historic façade lies thoughtful design and the warmth of carefully chosen materials. In your room, high-quality textiles, calming tones and soft linens quietly speak of comfort and care. The sounds of the day fade away, replaced by a deep sense of stillness that settles gently into the body.
Here, you are truly taken care of.

Take Your Time Waking Up

After a restful night, the morning begins with RUNO’s artisan breakfast. Fresh coffee, the scent of oven-baked bread and carefully crafted flavours continue the enchanting theme of the previous evening.

Once you have woken at your own pace, you may choose to visit the sauna before heading out to explore the streets of Old Porvoo. Among the many galleries, boutiques and riverside views, the city reveals itself at its most beautiful.

A Journey for All Your Senses

A journey for all your senses is a promise: that no part of the evening is left to chance, and every moment has been carefully designed to lead to the next. It is a promise of an experience that leaves a lasting emotional impression – a memory you will return to again and again.

You are most warmly welcome to experience Michelin-starred brilliance with all your senses.

Private Events

The restaurant can also be reserved for private use for groups of 8–32 guests. The Porvoo Signature experience is equally well suited for executive dinners, celebrations or group gatherings.
