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.

I went here to learn more about the Finnish cuisine. I started with "Flavors of the North", an amazing plate full of Finnish specialties, such as organic salmon, reindeer, rye bread, berry mousse etc. The traditional salmon and potato soup is a great choice for...a main course if you want to fill your body with warm food. For dessert, I had Finnish almond cake (which was warm, came right out of the oven) with blueberries and mousse. The staff is super friendly and the prices are very reasonable given the large portions they serve. I will definitely go back!More

Excellent food, excellent service. Everything was really nice. Ceviche and salmon soup for starters, both tasty. The ginger lemon risotto with roasted salmon that followed also good, rice perfectly cooked and fish just right, crispy skin but tender meat. The almond cake as dessert was...the perfect end. Street food menu looked really attractive but we didn’t have space for more!!!! Also very friendly staffMore

My choice for a Starter was "arctic char cheviche* which was really rich in flavor thanks for the brine. Ten point to the chef if the fish was self-angled/ice-fished! The main course was more traditional steak since I was quite hungry and wanted to bet...safe. Good size, Well prepared with a regular Red wine sauce. Nice cozy and youngish atmosphere. Really helpful, active and friendly ndly service. Would return, certainly.More

Amazing food and staff really kind! This restaurant is quite small, I recommend to book a day in advance. My fiancé and I shared a mix finnish appetizer, reindeer fillet with amazing sides and last but not least pork and chips. In general a beautiful...experience and the best restaurant we tried in our stay in Rovaniemi.More

Had a lovely night here. We were looking for some local cuisine, but the popular restaurants were already booked up (on a cold Monday night in February). We tried Roka, way off the main street, and although it was full, the first waitress said that...if we could wait 15 minutes, a long table for 4 should became available and she’d keep it for us. True to her word, the table became available and she called us in. Between us, we had two different risottos and salmon soups and Arctic char (fish). All very nice. The two girls that served us were lovely. So patient as we faffed around with the menu and the bill. Really recommended.More

We find our way to the restaurant today and were glad we did. The manager was polite and efficient in taking our order, she probably knew from our appearance that we were tourists. The restaurant was almost full during lunch time and we were fortunate...to get a seat. We ordered salmon soup for starter and reindeer sandwich. The salmon soup was really delicious. The reindeer sandwich was nice too. Highly recommended.More

Seriously the best food in Rovaniemi. The chef is amazing. We ate there 3 times and were blown away each time. The tasting plate is a great way to sample Finnish specialties. Salmon soup beautiful as was the beetroot and blue cheese risotto (sounds strange...but try it!). Lovely wines by the glass. Wonderful staff and good value (Finland is pricey by the way)More

We stopped here for a quick last meal before our flight back. Quite a few restaurants in Rovaniemi are closed on the Sunday so were grateful to find a spot at the Ravintola. The salmon soup was hearty and delicious and warmed us up after...a full day of hiking in the snow. The portions of chips and halloumi fries were also generous.More
