Traditional Lappish Dinner by the Hearth
Duration
People
Dinner by the Hearth is not a restaurant dinner – it is a storytelling evening inspired by traditional life in Lapland.
The experience is built around fire, food and shared moments. The evening takes place in a warm, rustic setting where the hearth and wood-fired oven are at the heart of everything. Each course is inspired by northern traditions and local ingredients, prepared in a simple and honest way.
The menu is the same for everyone (vegetarian option is available) and unfolds slowly over the evening. Along the way, your host will share stories about Lapland, seasonal life, food traditions and why the hearth has always been the heart of northern homes.
This is a calm, intimate experience designed for small groups – a chance to slow down, enjoy comforting food and feel the atmosphere of Lapland beyond the activities.
We are open Monday to Saturday
Pre-booking only.
Our kitchen celebrates local ingredients and traditional Finnish recipes, crafted with care and served with genuine hospitality. All our breads are baked daily in a wood-fired oven, and every dish is made from fresh produce sourced from nearby farmers and reindeer herders.
