This is the leading city for cuisine in the Finnish Lapland region. Rovaniemi has a vibrant cultural life and this diversity also extends to its restaurants.

Our favourite places to eat in Rovaniemi:

Breakfast at Glass Resort

In Lapland Finland, we had the best food experience at Glass Resort restaurant in Santa Claus village, which is available for hotel guests. Your booking includes a luxury apartment, private sauna, Jacuzzi and also a super delicious breakfast. It wasn’t only the simple continental breakfast, there were a lot of salami and sausages, fresh bread, vegetable salads, Finnish cheese, pancakes, chocolates, local jams, and fruit juices. And a great surprise for us, the very delicious blueberry soup.

Santa`s Salmon Place

Santa’s Salmon Place in Santa Claus Village is famous for amazing salmon dishes grilled on the open fire in the middle of a tent blanketed with reindeer fur. This is a small place, there are only 5-6 tables inside where you can sit. The menu consists of 3 meals: fresh salmon cooked on the open fire served with Finnish salad and bread, traditional Finnish cheese with cloudberry jam and cheesecake dessert, and hot and cold drinks. This place is definitely the best spot for salmon, absolutely worth a visit.
