In the summer of Lapland, you can pause and
savour the moment: the endless light of the
midnight sun, the scent of the forest, the
sparkle of crystal-clear waters, and nature\u2019s
own harvest season. All of these have also inspired the summer menu at restaurant Kaltio, one of the best in Saariselk\u00e4.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Our restaurant in Saariselk\u00e4 invites you to enjoy the pearls of northern food culture and carefully planned flavour experiences, with wine pairings crafted by our professionals. Each dish tells a little story of northern life and the ingredients that have shaped the Lappish food culture for generations. And we haven\u2019t forgotten the little dinner guests either, and the children\u2019s menu also offers pure Lapland flavors and little ones\u2019 favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appetizers include ingredients such as mushrooms, crayfish and reindeer, and of course the restaurant\u2019s classic Kaltio\u2019s fish selection, which takes diners to the clear waters of the north for a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what would a trip to Lapland be without a tasty saut\u00e9ed reindeer, traditionally served with soft mashed potatoes, pickles and lingonberries. In addition to reindeer, in the heart of the Inari culinary tradition is the catch caught from local lakes, and in Kaltio we serve local fish with new harvest potatoes, a rich mushroom sauce and seasonal vegetables. The reindeer and fish in the dishes are local food, and that is a matter of honor for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dessert crowns the whole evening, and in the summertime we of course enjoy the gold of the north, cloudberries, or cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e with a northern twist, bringing a little international touch to the meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
