  4. San Remo

    This unpretentious but excellent upstairs restaurant was doing Italian food in Kotka long before you could even get a pizza in Helsinki. Run by an Italian-Finnish couple, it's as authentic and charming a trattoria as you could hope to find, with a great balcony space, Italian wines and Ferrari memorabilia. You come here for the fresh home-made fettuccini. There's also a café downstairs.

  5. Wanha Fiskari

    This is an elegant and pricey restaurant renown for its Finnish fish specialities such as Baltic herring, perch and salmon (it's no small irony that the Maretarium was built next door). There are also meat dishes, including reindeer, and a good lunchtime salad buffet.
