Special Menus & Traditional Wild Food Dining in Ruka-Kuusamo

Authentic Northern Flavours in a Warm and Welcoming Atmosphere

At our private Restaurant Klubi, you can enjoy authentic traditional Finnish cuisine inspired by local food traditions and wild ingredients from the north. We prepare homely, flavourful meals using clean Finnish ingredients, with a special focus on local produce. Wild berries and herbs, fish from nearby lakes and rivers, and game from the surrounding forests are at the heart of our cooking. This is the secret behind the homemade flavours of Isokenkäisten Klubi.

In addition to locally-grown quality ingredients, we take pride in the fact that our dishes are handmade in the Klubi kitchen, using carefully modernized traditional family recipes. One of our family traditions is hospitality: at our Klubi, the dinner table is always abundant. Meals can also be served at our Lappish hut Helekuta (max. 15 people, advance booking required).

The proximity to nature and wilderness provide a special setting for all parties and company events. Our delicious meals can be served at our comfortable Sali (for 70 people) and at our cosy Tupa (for 10 people). More than 90 people can sit down together to enjoy a lovely moment and a sumptuous meal.

All menus include house bread, spread and water.
We reserve the right to make changes.

We kindly ask that all members of the group select the same menu.
