A celebration of local culinary treasures in Kuhmoinen’s award-winning harbor

By the water, in the embrace of Lake Päijänne, Sahanranta offers good food and a relaxed atmosphere in the heart of Kuhmoinen’s guest harbor in the summer. The menu features the best flavors of the season and classics that appeal to boaters and landlubbers alike. The terrace offers a view of the piers, and in the evenings the harbor comes alive with events and live music.

Local ingredients

The Sahanranta restaurant buffet offers a varied and delicious lunch daily from 11 am to 4 pm. The changing menu includes a generous salad bar, three different options for warm dishes and an attractive dessert buffet.

In addition to the buffet, Sahanranta restaurant has an á la carte menu, which offers high-quality dishes for many tastes. In accordance with customer requests, pizzas made in a stone oven have also returned to the menu – the perfect choice for a more relaxed meal.

We strive to use as many producers from Kuhmoinen and the surrounding areas as possible in our raw material purchases. For example, Päijänne vendace is supplied by Kalayhtymä Kääpä, which is located a stone’s throw from Sahanranta.

The restaurant has plenty of seating both in the cozy, air-conditioned interior and on the large terrace, which offers a direct view of Kuhmoinen’s award-winning guest marina.

High-quality food and beautiful lake views create the perfect combination for both an everyday lunch or a summer day outing. Restaurant Sahanranta welcomes you to enjoy good food and a relaxed atmosphere right on the shore of Lake Päijänne.

Seasonal menu

The menu includes high-quality dishes prepared in our own kitchen to satisfy even the most demanding tastes, including stone oven pizzas and burgers. We vary the taste experiences as the summer progresses. We follow the harvest seasons and fish stocks while respecting the environment.
