Nice located place on a hill. We were there with bikes it’s also possible to walk up there. Nice and friendly staff. The place served Flammkuchen - and typical Germn-Swiss plates of cold cheese ham. At the momwnt for our visit they had Italian weeks...and we orderd from that menu and it was a huge misstake , a big dissapointment. Winelist is broad and with a range of diffrend kind of european wines. The view is very nice and ypu can enjoy sunshine late in the evening.More

We were staying in Vilppula (Peltolan luomutila, recommended!) and the lady at the reception recommended this place as a good one. It was 10 km from our overnight place, but we decided to drive there. The location is a bit outside Mantta center, the final...gravel road is really steep and might be difficult to master in rain. Once up, the pavillion is nice and the view would be fine if not the trees had grown to obscure it. This, I understand, the establishment cannot change. As this was a monday night, the room was not full but several tables were occupied. I can imagine that on a good-weather summer week-end a booking would be advisable The wine menu was a surprise, an excellent selection of good German wines, accompanied with selected wines and spirits from other countries. Several were familiar and on those I could decide the pricing was quite moderate. The food choice is between flammkuchen (several varieties) and plates of small cheeses, fish and cold cuts. I was the driver, so no wine for me but the house could offer a non-alcoholic beer from Krombacher. It was surprisingly good, a real beer taste! My flammkuchen was also the genuine item, crispy and thin base with tasty cheese sauce and fillings, very good! My wife had a glass of wine and a platter, I had a taste of the wine and liked it, a good dry riesling from Nahe. The platter was fine as well, only the small meatballs were too dry. The service was friendly and the waitress was ready to explain the background of the food and wine to us. This we did not need but left very well satisfied and only wish this "gem from Germany" will flourish for years to come.More

this restaurant at the top of the hill was wonderful and we had totally authentic flamkuchen (a kind of thin crispy pizza). to no surprise the owner himself is swiss so knows how they should be prepared. The road up was a bit steep (you...can also walk up). Considering the generally poor choice of food in small finnish towns this was a great restaurant and highly recommended. The waitresses were very friendly and wore dirndl's (the type of outfit barmaids at the munich beer festival wear) which also contributed to a real alpine feel to the whole visit.More

Nice small Wine-hut in middle of a small mountain called Mäntänvuori, next to Mänttä town. They serve coffee and pastries but also Wine and food. For the food they have Flammkuchen (kind of a pizza) and also raclette and fondue if you order beforehand. On...Thursdays they have Schnitzel-night. We were there then, and it was the best schnitzel I have tasted in Finland. I do recommend this place!More

This place is one of those you only find when someone recommended it. It requires climbing up to a modest hill through marked paths that offer lovely views already on the way. Driving up is also possible, but will exclude the driver option of experimenting...the surprisingly interesting wine list of the venue. The owners get the wines through their own connections, and the menu contains several suggestiosn for tasting. The food is simple, but well made and tasty, and the service is friendly.More

Wonderful little spot up the hill. Lovely wine flights with great small plates and soup. Did not try larger plates or entree, but nice selection on menu.

We found out about this place in a brochure of the region and decided to give it a try on our trip. That was an excellent choice! We loved absolutely everything about this place; the wine, the food, the service, the atmosphere, the location...! We...are definitely coming back on our next roadtrip to the area - only this time we'll come by taxi and not drive ourselves.More

I've been a couple of times on work trips and it's one of only a couple of quality places in the area to get a decent meal. The climb up the hill to the restaurant is really worth doing, especially as that means you'll have...more of an appetite to try the delicious flammkuchen, Nordic tasting plates, fresh cakes, but especially the Elk in a Pot! Really lovely little place.More

Really interesting restaurant with a mix of German/Nordic food. Located at the top of a hill, a very small place, but great food. Small menu, but superb quality. Good selection of wine and drinks. Great find, €100 for 2 people.

Small restaurant serving a wide range of wines with a large selection from Germany. The food is excellent and on a clear day you get some fantastic views. Personally would recommend the Elk

Vuorenmaja is located in the middle of the beautiful Mäntänvuori conservation area . The menu includes wines from small European wine producers, beers and ciders from small Finnish breweries, delicacies of Swiss and German cuisine and naturally also coffee, tea and pastries. I highly recomend...this jewel.More
