Salve (restaurant)
Salve (restaurant)

Salve is a restaurant in Helsinki, Finland founded in 1897,: 7  which was originally a famous pub among sailors. After the housing cooperative lending the restaurant's premises discontinued its contract in autumn 2016 the restaurant moved to new premises about a hundred metres away on the other side of the street crossing at Hietalahdenranta 5 C. Salve's first known restaurateurs were Emil and Elin Stenberg.: 24  When the high stone building designed by Kaj Eräjuuri's father Eriksson was completed, Salve moved to it.: 26 Salve's location originally hosted a wooden kiosk in the late 19th century, selling food and tobacco to sailors.: 11  The house which hosted Salve for a long time was built in 1927.: 23  The restaurant is currently owned by HOK-Elanto. Its customers include artists, advertisers, journalists, tourists and workmen.: 7 Salve's classic dish is fried Baltic herring,: 7  selling about 60 portions per day. This makes 1800 portions, about 600 kilograms of fish per month. Previously the herrings were gutted by hand in the restaurant kitchen, but nowadays the restaurant gets them already gutted, likewise it also gets its potatoes already peeled. The reason for this is increased demand because of more customers and the small size of the kitchen, which does not have enough space for gutting herrings and peeling potatoes. Other popular dishes include Wiener schnitzel and steak tartare. The restaurant decor includes paintings depicting sailing and ships, miniature ships, lifebuoys, anchors and other items relating to sailing. This decor is reminiscent of Salve's past as a pub for sailors. Salve was originally called a café, selling food and coffee. After prohibition in Finland ended Salve received B-class serving rights (beer, cider and wine but no spirits).: 26 

Hietalahti market hall
Hietalahti market hall

The Hietalahti market hall is an old market hall located near the Hietalahdentori market square in Helsinki, Finland, hosting several restaurants and cafés. The market hall acts as concentration for restaurants and cafés, offering Japanese, Portuguese, Italian, French and Middle Eastern cuisine both at lunchtime and in the evening. Although the building designed by architect Selim A. Lindqvist in 1903 was believed to originally have served as a Russian cavalry barracks, it has been a market hall since the beginning. Of the market halls in the city centre, it was known for its grocery offerings for a long time, but as the Hietalahdentori market square next to it started gaining publicity about illegal trade of alcoholic beverages and tobacco by foreign tourists, this had a negative effect on the market hall's activity. At the turn of the millennium, traditional market sales at the market hall ceased, the hall was renovated and its interior was restored. In December 2001 the hall opened as an ecological market hall, selling mostly organic products. This business idea did not pay off, so in late 2003 Kauko Korpela, founding member of the Finnish Association for Art Merchants and the Finnish Art and Antiquities Merchant Association STAY, rented the central hall building of the market hall from the city of Helsinki. Since 1 December 2003 the hall, known as the Hietalahti antiquities and arts hall, concentrated on sales of antiquities and collectables.In autumn 2012 the hall was converted back into a grocery market hall. The building returned to its original function as a market hall on 11 February 2013. At this time, about twenty merchants moved to the market hall from the Helsinki old market hall on Eteläranta as it underwent reparations for over a year. Since 2013 the Hietalahti market hall has profiled itself most prominently as a concentration for restaurants and cafés.
