Degerby Gille
Set in the oldest building in town, this is an enchanting restaurant that is usually only open for group bookings. It's worth inquiring, though, at the Hotel Degerby, as the restaurant is usually open for lunch once a week for the local Rotary Club, and the public can take advantage. There are five separate and charmingly old-fashioned dining rooms.

Loviisa Church
On the market square, the impressive red-brick neo-Gothic Loviisa Church, built in 1865, is a dominant feature; guides are on hand in summer to give free tours. It was designed by Georg Theodor Chiewitz, who also designed many of the civic buildings in the wake of the blaze.

Narrow Streets
Don't expect another Porvoo, but the Narrow Streets around Degerby Gille restaurant are the quaintest in town, and the restaurant itself is in a building that predates the town (1662).
