Special Menus

Fredrika Runeberg's Dinner
In early June, 1860, a banquet was held at the Runebergs, with Robert Montgomery, Governor of Umeå, as the guest of honour. Also invited were Runeberg's friends from Helsinki, J.V. Snellman and Zacharias Topelius. Fredrika Runeberg herself was in charge of service and had three servant girls helping her. This same historic menu consisting of asparagus and morels, mousseline sauce, spinach pudding, veal cutlet, and ice cream and oranges is served in our restaurant.

Fredrika Runeberg's Dinner, 51 €/person. Prices inclusive of VAT

Sandels' Dinner
"Sandels is sitting at Partala having a meal without worry." During the Swedish-Russian War, the truce between the Russian army and the Finnish army led by General Sandels was supposed to end on 27 October 1808 at 1 pm, but fighting had already started at 12 noon Finnish time. When fighting started, Sandels, who later led his Swedo-Finnish soldiers to victory, was enjoying his lunch peacefully on the northwest bank of the River Koljonvirta. That same lunch-salmon rosette, goose galantine, fried veal, and crowberry parfait, described by Runeberg, is served in an 18th-century loghouse, rich in atmosphere, located close to the medieval Porvoo Cathedral. The famous restaurant Wanha Laamanni has been operating in that building for more than 25 years.

Sandels' Dinner, 77 €/person. Prices inclusive of VAT.
