Cuisine follows Jamie Oliver style as the Scandic hotels allover. Kitchen seems to have improved since my previous visit, tastes are fresh and quality upscale. Even fresh fish from local lakes is available.Best issue is the service, waiters are most natural and spontaneous with the Carelian sense of humour.

We visited here twice during our visit to Lappeenranta for lunch. It is so amazing, the outside setting has this feel to it which is hard to describe but it is almost as though it wants to tell you a story,inside is amazing, its like stepping back in time or straight on to a movie set from history, just amazing. On both our visits the food was both very good and good value, if you get the chance to site outside looking over the lake do, it just builds on the atmosphere.Thank you for the feedback. Pleasant to hear that you enjoyed it. We want to maintain a 128-year-old building and bring out its stories, culture and history. Warmly welcome again.
7. Iskender & Bar
Reviewed By Tramp08
We were looking for a lunch place in Lappeenranta. Visited few restaurants and read the menus. We decided on Iskender & Bar. Lunch menu included salad buffet and also soup, but best thing was that the actual meal was made by ala carte order and made fresh. My companion loved his lamb dish. Mine was good too. We thought it was very good value.

This restaurant serves a local traditional dish called särä. It is made using Finnish lamb and potatoes. I've been here several times. Of the two restaurants serving 'särä' I prefer this one not only because of the right taste (the way grandma used to make it) but also the authentic milieu and Finnish ingredients.
