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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

I had lunch in the Cafe / Restaurant Kuukkeli and it was quite basic Wiener schnitzel. The portion was quite large and I was not able to finish it. It seemed to be a popular place and there was a lunch buffet also. Staff was...friendly and the food was served fast; I'd visit again.More

Visited with family. They do some reindeer specials as well as gluten free options. Reindeer burger was ok, service was good and the atmosphere was average. Ok experience over all and the food does it job.

Visited here for a quick bite, the restaurant did the job and the reindeer pizza was OK, though nothing special. Service was nice though and the location very central, with the store behind the wall too.

Vierailimme kaksi kertaa syömässä lounaan ja päivällisen. Ruoka oli hyvää ja maistuvaa ja terveellisen oloista tavalliseen ravintolaruokaan verrattuna. Palvelu asiallista mutta jäykähköä. Siisti paikka. / Visited twice for lunch and dinner. Good buffet style food with nice service. Clean and open area. I suggest this...place as an easy luch/dinner place.More

Nice cappuccino, average coffee We did not have a chance to try the restaurant part but did the cafe. I found the cappuccino quite tasty but the ladies did not enjoy the coffee too much.

Typical cafeteria, friendly service and a small buffet. Fair price and ok food, but right next door to the supermarket and not really a cozy place - fine for a quick snack or hot cup of something...

We called in here for a bit of lunch. The place itself is nothing fancy and we only had pizzas but what we had was tasty enough. We ordered 2 reindeer pizzas between 4 of us which was more than enough for lunch, the pizzas...are huge!More

Nice little place to have a coffee and relax. Strangely enough this is the only place you can get paracetamol from also, I was sent here by the supermarket cashier as they didn’t sell them. After a toboggan crash or ten 🤣 my back was...really sore. I got the paracetamol and had a little break outside and by the time I was ready to leave my pain had gone!More

Pizzas were ok and can”t go wrong with a Margherita and large. Reindeer burgers with fries were ok but came drowned in mayonnaise. Average and overpriced €76 for 5.

We chose this for a quick pizza after a morning activity. Good range of choices for toppings. Massive thin pizzas which were overhanging the plate. Very nice and easy. Good price for the area. This is inside the supermarket so very handy to stop at.

awful food and overpriced compared to the high quality food you can get elsewhere at the same price. I ended up leaving almost all of my dinner which at €15 for a burger and fries is alot to waste

We were a family of four, very hungry when we arrived. The kids' food (sauteed reindeer) took half an hour to arrive, my wife's pizza another 15 mins, and my pizza completed the order at the 1h mark. Needless to say, the kids had finished...eating by the time the pizzas arrived, and grew restless while we ate. No compensations for the wait were offered. The menu has no options for kids. Dishes seem to be prepared one at a time, as a plate would leave the kitchen every 10 minutes or so. Might be ok for coffee, but I wouldn't recommend eating here.More
