Whenever possible, we use local ingredients, seasonal wild herbs, mushrooms, and berries. The Karelian culinary tradition is deeply ingrained in the heart of our kitchen. Additionally, we tailor our selection of delicacies to suit our customers’ wishes and the nature of the occasion. In our cozy, tradition-filled spaces, we can accommodate groups of up to 60-80 people.

In winter, you can reach the slopes and trails of Koli in just 15 minutes via the ice road. The ice tracks departing from the Herranniemi shoreline lead to Paateri, Koli, and the Raapiosaari shelter.
