The menu includes both fine dining and simpler options. The launch takes place during the Kvarken Food Cruise, a trade fair and exhibition for anyone interested in food and drink.<\/p>\n<p>The concept for Bistro Botnia is based on the original idea with the Bistro concept itself, which originates from France. It should be an easy and convenient restaurant to visit, both in terms of the food served and the bistro&#8217;s decor and appearance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, this does not mean that we would compromise the quality and presentation of the food. The kitchen attaches great importance to the fact that the food served should be experienced as both genuine and well-made\u201d, says <strong>Markus Backlund<\/strong>, Onboard Product Manager, Wasaline.<\/p>\n<p>Wasaline organized a naming competition for the restaurant. Hundreds of well-thought answers came in from committed people from both sides of Kvarken. The winner of the competition is Hanna Pundars from Vaasa. She had a well-reasoned response to her proposal. &#8220;The name has geographical connection, elegance and a marine connection. You can refer to any local ingredients and the name is of course connected to the ship&#8217;s name. The name is both easy to remember and spell\u201d, writes Hanna.<\/p>\n<p>It is the \u00e0 la carte restaurant on deck 8, which has been converted into Bistro Botnia.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lrpcbgk8-972d70e0f2af77c77dc709a1f9dedd45\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-lrpcbgk8-972d70e0f2af77c77dc709a1f9dedd45{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-lrpcbgk8-972d70e0f2af77c77dc709a1f9dedd45 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-lrpcbgk8-972d70e0f2af77c77dc709a1f9dedd45 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-lrpcbgk8-972d70e0f2af77c77dc709a1f9dedd45 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >For more information<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lrpccuk2-96f94b0bc9059f68d414dcf3395c3284 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Catarina Fant, Director, Brand, Communications and Sustainability<br \/>\ncatarina.fant@wasaline.com, tel: +358 46 921 5811<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-qbt0p9-0d1b233c2b85889f93be9b921f4d684b hr-default  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_one_full '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1pv9jpp-4a372baf0c9e6df9cc0a2a9c67cbb6f9 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_button  first flex_column_div  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lrpc8c08-f748bc66af416f6478cfc5ba70f64fa6\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-lrpc8c08-f748bc66af416f6478cfc5ba70f64fa6{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-lrpc8c08-f748bc66af416f6478cfc5ba70f64fa6 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-lrpc8c08-f748bc66af416f6478cfc5ba70f64fa6 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-lrpc8c08-f748bc66af416f6478cfc5ba70f64fa6 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-8  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >About Wasaline<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-19lu0kt-c31ee2657e529b6adac3e8f66e6513dc '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Wasaline is the northernmost shipping line in the world, which transports passengers and freight daily between Vaasa in Finland and Ume\u00e5 in Sweden.
