Huvila
This noble wooden building was formerly a fever hospital then a mental asylum, but these days writes happier stories as an excellent microbrewery and smart restaurant just across the harbour from the town centre. The food focuses on fresh local ingredients, and one of the delicious beers will match your fare perfectly, whether it be fresh, hoppy Joutsen, traditional sweet sahti, or the deliciously rich dessert stout. The terrace is a wonderful place on a sunny afternoon; there are also two cosy, compact double attic rooms (€120 during opera festival, €65 at other times).

Majakka
This restaurant has a deck-like terrace which fits the nautical theme (the name means ‘lighthouse’). Local meat and fish specialities are tasty, generously sized and fairly priced and the select-your-own appetiser plate is a nice touch. It’s child-friendly too, and opens late during the opera festival when it buzzes with good cheer.

Oopperakellari
This underground restaurant has lavish pre- and post-opera dinners, with music, arias from the staff, and perhaps even some of the stars answering questions or singing. Book in advance via Savo Center, based at Savonlinna Travel, or online.

Hilpeä Munkki
Alongside the museum in a delightfully ramshackle wooden building, this terraced restaurant gets back to basics in medieval style. Waiters dressed as monks bring out beer in tankards and meat on skewers. Views of the castle are superb.

Pizzeria Capero
This is the best place in town for an uncomplicated and tasty feed of pizza. It's just west of the bridge by the kauppatori.
