OUR FOOD PHILOSOPHY
We use almost entirely Finnish ingredients – we hunt, fish, grow, and gather straight from nature ourselves.
We do not use processed products, which means our menu is not fully vegan, dairy-free or egg-free.
We hope you understand the philosophy behind these choices: thank you for sharing our love for genuine, unprocessed and natural food.
Combine your visit with fishing, canoeing, or hiking, and end the evening with a sauna and a swim in a lake.
Table reservations be made by 6PM the day before.

The sweet ending: the house’s signature Crème Brûlée, herbal tea and a small sweet surprise.
