Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Pehkubaari was built from recycled materials. It was opened in 1995 and first it had only ten seats around an old ski cabin. Nowadays it has 1,300 seats.They have used haystacks, the roof of a rest home, the floor of a piggery, the log wall of a barn etc. as building materials. They have a fireplace, haystacks, old skis, old ski boots, candles etc. in their interior.
They sell buffet lunches, hamburgers, hot dogs, salads, oven baked potatoes, garlic snails etc. I liked their carrot cake and iced tea, too.
They also have "Mualiman Sauna", the rent out sauna on the summit. Besides, they are building a new observation tower next to the restaurant. The observation tower will be opened in the fall (autumn) 2019, I think.
You can take a lift to the top. A ski lift is situated next to this restaurant in winter. If you take a panorama lift in summer, you have to walk one kilometer on the top. I think that in summer the best way to come in Pehkubaari is to walk Tahko Stairs (Tahkonportaat, about one thousand steps) from the village on the summit and then walk 500 meters to the left on the top. After visiting Pehkubaari we continued our walking along the southern slope to Huutavanholma nature conservation area and then back to the village of Tahko.

I have visited Pehkubaari several times, the last time was in March. The atmosphere on weekends is always great, everyone dancing on tables and having a good time! There is also good food available, both lunch time and then dinner. Surely recommended for anyone who enjoys snowboarding/skiing but also wants to enjoy some drinks and a good après-ski vibe afterwards. The staff is friendly, even though it gets hectic sometimes. Two thumbs up!

It's the place to visit during your stay at Tahko - if you're not skiing, you can also drive there. During lunch hour you can choose the soup (which looked delicious) or order from the list (pretty ordinary stuff like bratwurst and hamburgers). The food was ok and the prices were pretty tolerable. The best part of this place is the friendly service and the atmosphere of course. This is the place for after ski, we were there on a Saturday afternoon and people were already dancing on the tables.

We were doing downhill skiing and got hungry at the same time as everyone else. Two pm. The queue was long and we realized there's no place to sit in the whole room. There were filled breads so we thought we would eat something quickly and come back later.
The line was slow and people came through it or stayed closed to the cashier without waiting for their turn. When we were finally asked what to buy, I heard that there is no bread with cheese only, but all had meat inside. I asked why. Cashier didn't know why. So we left and never came back.

Was on family holiday and on a skiing day tried to visit Pehkubaari with two young kids. The after ski was on at 2pm and looked like a lot of fun. People were dancing on tables, music was loud and sun was shining.. Maybe not a place to eat with kids, but defenately worth a visit if you're into after ski.
