Restaurant Kotatieva – Flavours of the Arctic Forest
Welcome to Restaurant Kotatieva — a cozy log restaurant tucked deep in the snowy forests of Lapland. Here, the flavours of the Arctic meet warm hospitality and simple, honest food inspired by the North.
Local Flavours from the Heart of Lapland
Our kitchen is rooted in the traditions of Lapland, using ingredients that come straight from the surrounding nature and local producers. We work closely with local farms, small producers, and trusted suppliers to bring the best of the North to your plate.
You’ll find reindeer, locally farmed rainbow trout, Lapland’s famous Puikula potatoes, and hand-picked wild forest berries featured on our menu. Even our ice cream comes from a local artisan ice cream maker right here in Rovaniemi.
Every dish reflects the seasons, the local landscape, and the pure flavours of the North — prepared in Kotatieva’s own rustic, homemade style.
Honest Food – Arctic Atmosphere
At Kotatieva, we serve the kind of food that’s eaten in local homes — simple, nourishing, and full of flavour. Whether you come in for a quick meal during your winter adventures or settle in for a relaxed dinner by the fire, you’ll taste the essence of Lapland in every bite.
We are happy to accommodate special diets whenever possible. There’s always something for everyone — even the fussiest eaters leave happy.
