Authentic Flavors and the Warmth of the Fire in the Kota

In the cozy dimness of the kota, the open fire crackles, creating a warm glow where a dinner full of northern flavors and atmosphere comes to life. The flames dance on the log walls, and the scent of pine tar fills the air — warmth, light, and the soft aroma of smoke invite you to sit back and relax for a moment.

Flavors from the Lapland Wilderness

The dinner begins with Karelian pies — a traditional Finnish delicacy with a Lapland twist, featuring reindeer in a rye crust. For the main course, enjoy flame-grilled salmon, gently cooked over the open fire so that the subtle smokiness enhances its delicate flavor. For dessert, savor baked Finnish squeaky cheese with cloudberry jam, accompanied by traditional kampanisu pastries and coffee brewed over the fire.

A Moment by the Fire

The warmth of the fire and the scent of smoke create a unique and unforgettable atmosphere. Enjoy your meal at a leisurely pace, in the calming glow of the fire, accompanied by the sounds of nature. A kota dinner is a full sensory experience — a memory that lingers, like a warm recollection of the northern midnight sun or the dance of the Northern Lights.

A kota dinner is more than just a meal — it’s a moment where fire, flavor, and the magic of Lapland meet.
