Menu
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.

A dialect word used colloquially for 'forest'. For one person, a forest can be a place to find peace, for another, a recreational environment, and for us, especially a source of local food in its many forms.
The most commonly cultivated vegetables in Finland are carrots and beets. Various types of onions are also often found in people's own palsta, which is the finnish word for small garden.
In the summer months, when the temperature drops below freezing at the vegetation level, the term “halla” is used. Frosty nights are not uncommon at the latitude of Inari, especially in June.
