Fondis
This has a restaurant and bar in adjoining doorways and is one of the best places to eat in Vaasa. The restaurant is smartly kitted out with crisp white cloths and bright red chairs; the varied menu includes good Caesar salads, plenty of grilled meat (including very tasty liver with lingonberry sauce) and top service.

Gustav Wasa
Around the corner from the tourist office is a cellar restaurant with a small but gourmet menu of Finnish cuisine including wild duck, rack of lamb and butter-fried sirloin of reindeer; there are also vegetarian options. It's got an upmarket, bygone years sort of a feel and, unusually for a restaurant, there's a sauna in an adjoining building so patrons can cook themselves.

Konditoria Kotileipomo
This place, on the kauppatori (market square) in the city centre, is a pleasant café with a light, quiet, interior and a small terrace in summer. It serves tasty pastries in particular, and if you're planning a picnic, you can't beat one of the many types of loaves they bake fresh.

Pizzeria Marco Polo
A traditional little Italian place serving cheap pizzas and pastas. There's a good range, and they'll even whip up a gluten-free pizza for those with dietary requirements.
-
Seglis
On Vaskiluoto, and part of the local sailing club, this is a stylish but surprisingly reasonably priced restaurant. It has a terrace overlooking the marina and features dishes such as whitefish fillet in lobster sauce, and chicken in cola sauce. There's plenty of value in the steaks, and there's also a decent lunch buffet and plenty of children's choices.

Strampen
On the opposite side of the harbour to Seglis, this is a summer beer terrace in the waterfront park, with a spacious, pleasant restaurant serving a range of warming meals.
