Step inside and let the best Finnish flavors tickle your taste buds!
Finnish forests are rich in berries like lingonberries, bilberries (wild blueberries), cloudberries, and cranberries. These are harvested in summer and fall and are used in everything from pies to sauces and jams.
Finland’s thousands of lakes provide an abundance of freshwater fish
The Finnish winter diet relies on preserved and hearty foods, including rye bread, smoked fish, sausages, and root vegetables. Winter dishes are warming and filling, like slow-cooked sauteed reindeer.
