Excellent restaurant serving well prepared local menus. Service is most polite finalizing the nice and welcoming atmosphere. I especially recommend the local reindeer filet.
Wonderful experience, incredible service, and food. So accommodating to our pescetarian lifestyle yet able to to experience the local culture cuisine. We enjoyed fried Vendaces, Arctic Char,Lapland Bread Cheese Salad, and incredible desserts (chef’s compliments) - if you get an opportunity it is a must...to visit!!!More
Some of the best, tastiest meat I have ever had. Brilliant meal and flavours. Had the Reindeer fillet, perfectly cooked.
Lunch pasta was really overpriced as portion is very small. Fried vendace was good, and more reasonably priced. Tables not wiped, and really sad that inside in the restaurant you get beer in plastic cup and even forks are plastic...
Sauteed reindeer was good but all too small. Even mashed potatoes was little. Beetroot - portion was okei. Weiters were too little, maybe because covid influence still
The waitress was kind and welcoming. The food was tasty and exotic. The dishes were a bit pricey but that is understandable considering the quality. The desserts were unique and also delicious. The mood / ambience was homey and relaxing. I would 100% recommend this...place to anyone that is visiting Ruka. :)More
This was our second visit to Ruka and my husband was excited to try the bear after missing out on going the last time we were on holiday. We decided to book here for my 40th birthday meal and we were not disappointed. I even...had to change the time of the booking via online chat and this was sorted no problems at all. I ordered the elk steak and my husband had the “legendary” bear. The bear was delicious but the elk steak was out of this world and just melted in the mouth. Whilst my husband was happy with the bear he was jealous of the elk steak. For dessert I had the bread cheese (which is essentially halloumi in a Dulce de lace sauce). It blew my mind as the flavours went so well together and is something I have recreated since coming home. My husband had the brownie which was rich and moist. The staff and service was superb and the restaurant itself is very cosy. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and it was genuinely one of the best meals I have ever had.More
I ate here 3 times despite, I might add , the cost. The Saute Bear was delicious as wqs the Elk pepper steak and also Elk Carpaccio. I loved the Diime cake but at 12 Euros could have done without. I thought the decor was...wonderfully folksy. People from Helsinki like to eat here too. The service was ok but not exceptional. Would I go again yes!!More
Very tasty food, nothing too fancy almost like my mother was in kicthen.That is good couse the most if customers seems to come with very casual attitude. Servise was quick and friendly even they start to be very busy.We liked ❤
This is "a "no it is "the" excellent place to have delicious exotic dinner in Ruka, it is not cheap but really worth of the money you can spend.
There aren't many restaurants that offer a bear dish. Here they have one. Is it worth the 70€? Perhaps, depends what you are looking for. There was decent amout of meat and it was very tasty. So yes, if you are looking for something you...don't eat or even can't get for every day try it, we enjoyed the experience. Otherwise the portion was nothing special, some mash and pickled cucumber. So if you don't specially want bear meat, you can get better, fine dining options for less from other restaurants. Oh and service was fine but interior bit kitschy.More
This dinner was supposed to be the highlight of the holiday, but as a Ruka classic for years, the restaurant no longer lives up to its reputation. The menus are ok, the food is adequate, the main course is a little better, but the desserts...are floundering on a daily basis (not at all worth the overall price!) and ruin overall. The wines in the wine package always had to be asked separately and were meshed up by the waiter and served wrongd. Paid almost 100 €/person and gave feedback in a constructive spirit to the above matter fresh (can't fix it yet). After that, there was no more service, and we were left alone at the table. They started to close the place and only served another group (there were no others present), we went to ask the cashier for the bill and wondered about the bad customer experience again. that's when the waiter apologized and said, everyone's taste is not the same (huh?), so there was no eye for the game. We went to our place for a coffee. The owner also has a pizzeria and a hamburger places (+ Kotipizza & Subway) on the same side of the fell, which are good, but the quality has dropped sharply in this flagship restaurant. So fast food is fine. We will not come again, will not suffer because of the poor value for money. Can't take this place anymore, it's not the best game restaurant in Finland.More
If you want best or one of the best sauted reindeer. I would highly recommend to eat here. I have eaten that in many places and this is top 2 places. Other disches are good as well, but we wanted to eat this dish because...we know it would be good in here. It was great. Service was nice so i can only give that 5 stars. Price wise not the cheapeat place, but also food is as good as compared to cost.More
Very good food! The Lappi menu was excellent. The service was very friendly and the athmosphere and decor of the restaurant was cozy. Definitely would visit again!
