Lapland’s food culture is directly linked to its pristine nature, and Rovaniemi is a great place to explore the fresh produce of northern forests and waters. The Arctic Capital offers not only unique restaurants and relaxing places to dine but also local specialties and urban flavours from around the world. Rovaniemi is home to numerous cafés and restaurants, as well as restaurants available for private dining for groups and events.
From pure nature to your plate
From pure nature to your plate
Lappish cuisine is simple and rugged, just like the landscapes it stems from. Fresh seasonal ingredients play a key role in preparation. Bringing out the ingredients’ authentic taste is held in high regard. In Rovaniemi, Lappish food tastes equally delicious in a fine dining setting as well as by a campfire in the wilderness.
