The best restaurants Finnish Lapland

This trendy café also offers the best burgers in town. Homemade, beef or reindeer, they delight the youth of Rovaniemi. And a vintage decor composed of collector's items and furniture recovered from antique shops or designers sets the mood. As for drinks, you will be entitled to a real espresso but also to a wide variety of teas and house beers. DJ atmosphere in the basement room to prolong the evening and one of the coolest nights in town.

A restaurant with a sumptuous view of the Lapland forest, thanks to its huge bay window. A subdued atmosphere, a knowledgeable service and gastronomic dishes... We discover reindeer meat, an excellent risotto, a smoked salmon salad... It's not surprising that the Sky is one of the best restaurants in Lapland. A very good address! Good to know: from now on, you can also have breakfast here, with an excellent choice of sweet and savoury products, 7am-10am during the week and 8am-11am at the weekend. A treat that we recommend!

A typical and ideal restaurant to discover the cuisine of the Great North. It is a semi-gastro at affordable prices. An arctic cuisine composed in majority of products of the Lapland. You will be seated in a very refined and nice setting, just like the presentation of your plates. The dishes are prepared with care and the creative chef always adds a touch of originality. Smoked reindeer is the main dish here, but we recommend the whitefish from Lake Inarijavi, which is both crisp and tender.

The Monte Rosa restaurant, located in the city center, offers traditional Lappish cuisine with nuances from all over the world. It's the perfect place to relax and enjoy good food, especially steak, which is still the best in town (if you eat meat, that is), without a doubt. Come and try their international cuisine, with a touch of Lapland. A cosy, chill atmosphere to delight young and old alike. To get the most out of Monte Rosa's flavors, don't hesitate to choose one of the two menus.

At Aanaar, the good surprises are in the plate, but not only! We start with the setting. Enjoy a superb panoramic view of the Juutua River. Then, in the kitchen, the team and chef take care to maximize the use of local and organic produce. Discover local plants, the specialities of Saami cuisine, fresh fish from Lake Inari, reindeer meat and much more! It's beautiful and tasty! They choose the most environmentally-friendly products possible and are constantly striving to improve their waste management. We'll go there with our eyes closed!

Rakas Restaurant & Bar located in the main building of Arctic TreeHouse Hotel, captivates with its unique atmosphere and menu of local ingredients prepared with a modern touch. Sitting by the summer terrace or under the pine cone lamps, the delicious flavors will create extraordinary and divinely tasty moments. The menu offers vegetarian and vegan dishes to suit all diets. Beautiful wine list to accompany your meal. Evening events are also held regularly.

A restaurant installed in a kind of big traditional chalet. The decoration is typical but a bit busy: wooden tables and chairs, bear skins, a dark and decorated ceiling... Fortunately the food is delicious and you can eat all the Lappish specialities: reindeer, elk and even roast bear, which is rare because the hunting of the animal is subject to quotas. The salmon is particularly delicious! Good welcome and smiling service. It's a bit expensive, but the quality is good.

THE local restaurant to enjoy tasty Lappish specialities. Excellent different soups every night. And we recommend the reindeer and salmon dishes! Good wine list, which doesn't spoil anything. The atmosphere is charming and relaxed, the place is decorated in the Scandinavian style: wood and metal are perfectly combined, embellished by beautiful lights. A typical atmosphere and a satisfying cuisine for affordable prices, Kiela is waiting for you to make you discover the best of Finnish culture.

It all started in 2015, when two friends Sirly and Heidi decided to make their dream come true. On the hotel side, you can enjoy the five standard rooms or the two deluxe ones. In 2018, the place was even voted best new boutique hotel in Europe. You can go there with your eyes closed! As for the restaurant, it is up to the rest. Sirly, a former participant in Finnish Masterchef, offers you sublime and delicious plates: perfectly married flavours, products highlighted... And all this in an incredible setting. We warmly recommend it!

In an old house full of charm, this restaurant serves good pizzas and proposes a menu of meats and fish. This is a good address to sit down to a meal when you are in Kemi, especially as the welcome is rather pleasant. We go there as much for the varied menu as for the place, in the middle of the park and very close to the shore, rather unusual for a pizzeria! Be careful, the site is entirely in Finnish, for a little English, see "Pizzalista".

A very good restaurant, with a warm atmosphere, which works well with regional flavours. Despite the somewhat high prices, the quality is there and it's a perfect place to try Arctic fish or reindeer specialties. The dishes first seduce the eyes, before delighting the taste buds with their finesse and quality. From the starter to the dessert, you will be won over! A fine wine list to accompany everything, with some good whisky too! The atmosphere is warm, the service is attentive... What more could you ask for?

Must visit! This small address, which has been attracting locals since 2015, is the place to go in Rovaniemi. Trendy atmosphere and Finnish bistronomy, this is a good spot to taste local specialties, deliciously revisited, at low prices. We like the warm welcome, the cosy atmosphere and the quality cuisine. The traditional Finnish salmon soup is excellent, as is the mushroom risotto. And the desserts are as good as the rest!

Petronella refers to the intrepid woman journalist and adventurer known for her participation in the 1949 gold rush to the region. In 1989, Saara Mehtäjärvi created this restaurant that pays homage to her by offering a cuisine that highlights Scandinavian products by the fire. The dishes are superb and delicious: both the cep soup and the fish of the day. For the sweet side, the mille-feuille and the chocolate fondant are exquisite. The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm and one spends a pleasant evening there.

This good table of laponnes specialities found refuge in a pleasant rustic decor. On large wooden tables, there are grilled fish fried with champagne sauce or reindeer jarret. And, for nothing to waste, the reception is very pleasant.

A friendly address with rustic decoration. There are also good rennes specialities. A good option in the corner.

This is the ideal place to eat a good burger for the return of the tracks. If you're looking for one or two reindeer specialities, you'll come mainly for home burgers, ribs, wings, burrito and tapas. In short, a tex-mex like they like in a beautiful chalet facing the slopes.
