Kota Dinner by the Open Fire – Flavors of Lapland Crafted with Love

Step into a warm and atmospheric kota, where the glow of the open fire and the scent of pine tar welcome you to an unforgettable culinary journey into the heart of Lapland.

Authentic Flavors of Lapland

In the middle of the kota, the open fire crackles as a lovingly prepared dinner is cooked using pure, locally sourced ingredients. Enjoy the season’s finest delights: reindeer, fish, and hand-picked berries. Each dish tells a story of Lapland’s nature — its strength, serenity, and quiet beauty.

The Crackle of the Fire and the Silence of Lapland

Here, time slows down. Savor your meal at a leisurely pace, in the soothing glow of the fire, accompanied by the sounds of the forest. The 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.
