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.

We were so thrilled to stumble upon this place on our way to our resort. It was a great mix of local fare and hearty portions! The cocktails were great as well and incorporated local flavors like blueberry and cloudberry. Wonderful service too! They were...very kind in explaining the dishes to us as tourists in the country and provided great recommendations.More

We had beer and dinner one night. The reindeer meat is very well cooked and the dishes well presented. For the pockets of the south it is a bit expensive, but it is normal in this place

Loved the atmosphere here from the moment we entered. Very homey and welcoming. Had a great meal with DH. We split the salmon soup, risotto and grilled reindeer. Honestly everything was perfectly cooked and delicious. Only slightly minor complaint was that they served all 3...dishes at once. We eat fast so it was still hot when we finished. Discovered Finnish long drink and had a few of those at the bar area after our meal as well. That side of the place was also really nice. Had our hotel book the reservation for us since they only take reservations via phone. If you could book online the place would probably be perfect!More

Wow! This restaurant is amazing, the decor is lovely, the staff so so friendly, and the best freshest food ever. Better than top London restaurants in my opinion. We want to come back just to have a meal here again it’s that’s good. If you’re...in saariselka please visit this place you won’t be disappointed. It’s situated a little further past the holiday inn Hotel and the gift shop. It’s a beautiful place and they are so lovely to us all making us feel very welcome xx I really hope we can go back next year for two days just to do some tobogganing and go for a meal here xx We had our meal here on Sunday 4th December 2022More

Restaurant Pub Teerenpesä sounds like a pub which is also serving some food, but this is not the case. They have both a pub and a full fledged restaurant, which is serving excellent food. Restaurant is offering typical finnish gourmet food including the reindeer and...trout dishes, which are mandatory in Lapland. The location is a nice log house with simple but functional decoration and relaxed atmosphere. Price level is reasonable, specially considering the quality of food. Warm recommendation for Teerenpesä.More

can’t understand the good ratings for these restaurant. We ordered the Caesar salad house style (9,90 Euro) , the cheese burger and the Fried vendaces (18,90 Euro). The Caesar salad includes three lettuce leafs with a few croutons and pieces of Parmesan. It was to...less for 9,90 Euro. For these price you should become a bowl of salad. The fried vendaces was also disappointing, because the side dish, mashed potatoes wasn’t self made. It wasn’t even highly quality bought.More

We were celebrating a special occasion with my husband to be. Service was friendly, on point and throughout excellent. Starter fish plate was tasty. Only hope was that house bread would have been rye bread. As makn course we took reindeer file and slow cooked...reindeer. Main course supeised, well sized portions and reindeer cooked to perfection. Very nice flavours! Dessert didn’t dissapoint either, bluebarru cheesecake was full of flavour. All in all had a lovely evening with good food! Sama lyhyesti suomeksi: loistava palvelu ja maukas, hyvin tehty ruoka. Pääruoka-annokset reilun kokoisia ja poro kypsennetty erinomaisesti.More

Nearly full house, but we were seated right after arriwing, even though arriwing few minutes before our reservation began. The food was excellent and beautiful, flavours and amount of ingredients were in balans. The service was kind and professional. Atmosphere and general feeling were all...excellent. Great value for money.More

We were staying at a nearby hotel on a half board basis. The food there (Hotel Tunturi) was not great so a couple of evenings we wandered along the road to try out other restaurants. We found this place on our last evening, and what...a treat to end our stay with! My husband and I ordered the reindeer fillet, beautifully presented and everything was cooked perfectly and delicious. Our two children had burgers and both cleared their plates. Desserts were equally as delicious, two panda cottas, a blueberry cheesecake and ice cream. Service was welcoming, friendly, efficient and helpful. The waiter took time to explain items on the bill (we didn’t query it, he was just helping with the language barrier). So glad we found this place, just wish we had done so sooner so we could’ve enjoyed more of the menu!More

Restaurant Teerenpesä is nothing too fancy, but let's face it, sometimes that's just what you need. If you're looking for a basic pub style dish, this is the place to go. We had sautéed reindeer and a steak, and they were just what the menu...promised. Service was friendly and the fireplace made a nice atmosphere. I would have liked more variety in vegetarian or vegan dishes, and the price range was a bit high-ish at least for these basic dishes.More
