Vausti is local word meaning beret.
Something local seasoned with international
flavors – this is the soul of Vausti’s menu. We
want to follow the trends and bring something
new from the foreign cultures into our guest’s
plates and glasses. Flavors around the world are
prepared to fit the spirit of this harbor city of
Kotka. This is our way to create Vausti-like
delicacies.
It is important to us to use local and Finnish
ingredients. On this menu you can find products
from local suppliers like ”Iitin liha” butcher’s,
”Polven juustola” cheese factory and ”Partion
Kala” fish market which are our most important
and highly respected companions.
Chosen with respect, cooked with great passion
and served with true love – this is Vausti.
