Riekko Lodge - Accommodation in Lapland, Finland

A place to enjoy good food, good company, and the calm of nature

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.

Where forest flavour
meets Nordic soul

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.
