Bistro Riekko is a celebration of Lapland’s slow rhythm and genuine flavors. Come and discover the true taste of the Arctic, crafted with heart and served with warmth.
At Bistro Riekko, the wilderness of Lapland comes alive on every plate. Nestled within Riekko Lodge, our restaurant is surrounded by forest and panoramic fell views — a peaceful place where Nordic cuisine meets the purity of nature.
Each dish follows the rhythm of the northern seasons and honors local Lapland ingredients: reindeer, Arctic fish, wild berries, and foraged herbs. Our chefs craft honest, flavorful dishes that reflect the spirit of the Arctic.
Start your day with a nourishing Lapland breakfast served in our bright, timber framed dining room. Expect the aroma of freshly baked breads and coffee, a spread of local cheeses, smoked fish, berries, and organic porridge — a true taste of the North to energize your day of adventure.
Breakfast is included for lodge guests and available to outside visitors by availability.
During the day and into the evening, Bistro Riekko’s à la carte menu invites you to explore Lapland’s culinary landscape through elegant, seasonal dishes.
Our chefs design menus that evolve with the season — crisp winter flavors, vibrant spring greens, summer grill aromas, and the earthy comfort of autumn.
