"We ate a 3-course meal on 2 evenings each. Both menus were super delicious. The restaurant works a lot with local products and also caters to individual wishes/allergies etc. The staff is super friendly and explains in detail what you will find on the plate. The quality is very high and everything was super delicious. I would go there again anytime."

"Great service and atmosphere for sure. The food was a little over the top for us and I’m not much for this type of food. But we still enjoyed it."
Our Guests on TripAdvisor
"I wasn’t expecting food to be one of the biggest highlights on a trip that also included things like hotels built out of snow and driving a husky team, but it was! We ate at this restaurant multiple nights during our time in Lapland and every single thing we ordered here was absolute perfection."
Our Guests on TripAdvisor
"Very nice atmosphere and the service staff is very attentive and friendly. The food is very tasty and the combination of different flavors is very interesting. At least with the surprise menu. The wine pairing is very well chosen and also has surprises. It is definitely worth a visit if you are looking for an unusual restaurant."
