Our season menu

Experience the wilderness with all your senses

In season right now

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.

  • Pöpelikkö

    A wild, lush forest where paths vanish and nature takes over. Reindeer pass through, mushrooms appear, and berries ripen in hiding. It’s a taste journey into the Finnish woods – unpredictable, but full of treasures.

  • Kasari

    Kasari is one of the well-known open water areas of Lake Inari – a wide and expansive part of the lake, often mentioned in the conversations of local fishermen. It's one of those places tied to strong memories and stories from the shores of Lake Inari.

  • Kaarnikka

    Kaarnikka, or crowberry, thrives on fell slopes and rocky marshes where only the hardiest plants grow. Its dark, intense flavor reflects the strength and freshness of the North – a modest yet powerful berry rooted in Lapland’s culinary tradition.

  • Lipan lumo

    “Lippa” is a traditional whitefish lure, familiar to fishermen around Lake Inari. In this dish, whitefish takes its rightful place among northern flavors.

  • Metsäarancini

    Arancini holds the flavors of the northern forest; the depth of cep mushrooms, the freshness of berries, and the earthy scent of moss. A comforting bite where the forest reveals itself in concentrated form, both austere and abundant at once.

  • Kielas

    A birch-covered upland crossing the fell ridge – a quiet path known by both reindeer and those who wander. It is part of both landscape and way of life, where northern tradition and the rhythm of nature move side by side.

  • Sienimetsä

    Cep is one of the forest’s most treasured gifts. Its flavor is deep, full-bodied, and earthy. Sweetgrass brings gentle sweetness and fragrance, as if the light of Summer is carried into Autumn. Together they make a surprising and enchanting encounter of forest flavors.

  • Kajastus

    The soft light of the midnight sun lingers on the horizon – not quite day, not quite night. Kajastus, meaning the gentle northern glow, brings its own hue and leaves a subtle mark on the flavors as well.

  • Korea syksy

    Autumn dresses in brilliance. Colors glow, the air turns crisp, and the earth offers its bounty. The depth of celeriac and the roasted notes of cauliflower meet the lightness of rice and the warmth of sunflower. Korea syksy is a tribute to the abundant beauty of the northern fall.

  • Puutarha

    The garden overflows with ripened sweetness and vibrant color. The depth of chocolate, the freshness of pistachio, and the gentle sweetness of pumpkin come together like a harvest feast. A moment where the warmth of summer lingers on the edge of autumn.
