We craft our menus using in-season northern flora and fauna, and constantly try fresh ways to bring traditional northern ingredients into contemporary cooking.
Nothing tastes better than a locally sourced dinner with the midsummer sun flickering in the splashes of the river. In the winter, a crackling fire in the hearth keeps you warm and cozy as the polar night outside reaches subzero temperatures.
Let us take you on a journey through the pure northern landscape through our dishes.
Our menu is built around what is in season and locally sourced, and it changes two times a year to reflect the changes in nature. Have a look through our seasonal menu and book your table with us.

"Pöpelikkö" is a Finnish word for the untamed forest – a dense, overgrown place where paths disappear and nature takes control. It's where reindeer move silently, mushrooms rise from mossy ground, and berries ripen in secret. Pöpelikkö is a journey into the heart of the Nordic forest – a little wild, a little unpredictable, but rich with hidden treasures.
Blackcurrant, ripened under the endless light of the North’s midnight sun, develops an exceptionally deep and nuanced flavor. This small yet powerful berry carries the intensity of northern nature and the taste of its rugged beauty.
One of the most cherished fish of northern waters. This dish is a tribute to the pure flavors of whitefish – elements that speak to both memory and the senses.
Kielas is a narrow upland ridge lined with birch trees, crossing the highlands of the North. In this dish, reindeer is presented in multiple forms – tender fillet, rich tongue, and slow-cooked blood pudding – each echoing the flavors of forest and fell. Kielas is a tribute to northern heritage, a dish where past and present meet in a powerful taste memory.
Sea buckthorn and cloudberry – treasures of the North – come together in a layered dessert where Arctic nature meets refined sweetness.

The first rays of spring sunshine awaken nature and set the birds in motion, building their nests. This dish draws its inspiration from that delicate moment of early spring. Kevätpesä is a playful celebration of spring’s flavors and forms.
The Finnish phrase “juuri ja juuri” means “just barely” – but “juuri” also means “root.” In this dish, both meanings take shape: roots as ingredients and as beginnings. Balanced on the edge of contrasts – sweet and tart, soft and crisp – it's just enough, and nothing more.
