Story

Since the beginning of time the pure and clear saivo had glistened, spreading pearly droplets around it. Unique and tranquil, it welcomed the changing seasons, their lightness and darkness.

Saivo's core was bottomless, as was its love towards all its guests. It had always given shelter to the bounties of nature and the treasures of people.

The magical saivo had two hidden worlds, revealing to its guests what they were ready to find. Sometimes it was passion, sometimes sensitivity. But all the times, saivo was ready to conjure up a shelter to cherish unforgettable moments.

The Saivo of Tampere is deeply elegant northern venue that adds a touch of magical sparkle to the arena. It is the bolder, deeper and more magical twin of Dabbal Kitchen & bar.

Origins of our ingredients

REINDEER – Unari, Luusua (Sodankylä), Finland  
PIKE PERCH – Lake Miekojärvi, Pello, Finland

Before appetizers or with house aperitif it is highly recommended to enjoy something we would call ”näppäset”, small Lappish tapas. Combine those with house-made bread, even better!
