Salve (restaurant)

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.

[1]: 24  When the high stone building designed by Kaj Eräjuuri's father Eriksson was completed, Salve moved to it.

[1]: 26 Salve's location originally hosted a wooden kiosk in the late 19th century, selling food and tobacco to sailors.

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.

After prohibition in Finland ended Salve received B-class serving rights (beer, cider and wine but no spirits).
