I highly recommend Laanilan Kievari! Food quality is excellent, they use local and sustainably farmed ingredients to make the best dishes in town. I had a vegan menu because I like to try out veggie dishes whenever I can, and it was one of the...best I've ever had. The overall atmosphere is great, service was really friendly and the wine collection is better than in most places. Just do it, book a table and go enjoy the real tavern experience!More

We had dinner at Laanilan Kievari during our holiday in Lapland. Definitely the best food in town. We highly recommend the hunters pie! There is also a very nice and extensive wine menu at this place. Only point of improvement is the size of the...plates. We were still a bit hungry after having a starter and main course.More

Excellent food with various tastes from Lapland. The reindeer shoulder roast with veggies was definitely a great experience for us before leaving Lapland. Awesome service.

One of the worst restaurant experiences ever. They served us old wine full of cork pieces and waitresses attitude became toxic after we asked to change the wine. Waitress became mute and acted disrespectfully. This place is not recommended if you are looking for a...cozy dinner with your family.More

The staff is super nice and the food is excellent. And we are culinarists so we really value top style and taste of food!

First time to Saariselka and this restaurant was absolutely awesome. The food selection and taste was absolutely first class and the ambiance was friendly and cozy. We sat by a beautiful, warm fire and enjoyed our Christmas Family Dinner. I spilt the reindeer shoulder for...2 and also had the mushroom pie in reindeer sauce as an appetizer. Others members of the family has smoked Arctic Char with vegetables, white fish and Hunter’s Pie. Everyone was super happy with their meals and no one left hungry or disappointed. There was also a wonderful selection of wine including a Finnish Blueberry wine which was great. The staff was very knowledgeable regarding their wine list. As good as the food was it was surpassed by their customer service and friendliness of the staff. The owner. Samuli. was generous with his time and was super interesting and engaging in conversation. The entire staff had a great way of making us feel at home. It was an outstanding experience with outstanding, friendly people. If your are in Saariselka this place is an absolute must and not to be missed. It was as advertised and much more.More

The food was the best we had on our round trip in Lapland! Great atmosphere and one of a kind service.
