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.
Table reservations must be made by 4PM the day before.
(PLEASE NOTE: Reservations for the Best of Wild Food tasting menu must be made at least 2 days in advance)
