Modern Karelian Feast Meal

is compiled respecting Karelian traditions, spiced with the character of our own region.

The absolute hit products of the meal are the oven-fresh Karelian pies and Ilomantsi vatruskas, prepared in the house's piirootsuppu, i.e., traditional bakery.

Dining begins in the Karelian style with a varied appetizer buffet, adorned with various fish appetizers and generous salads.

For the main course, enjoy cream-crusted salmon and Karelian stew, slow-cooked in the oven, with side dishes. For dessert, wild berries are savored in the form of berry kissel, along with coffee and brewed tea.
