Forest Dinner – A Taste of Pure Nordic Nature
Step into the heart of the Finnish wilderness and enjoy an unforgettable Forest Dinner at Riistaravintola Pikku Peura. Our seasonal menu is crafted with clean, natural flavours and ingredients gathered from the surrounding forests, lakes, and local farms. Every dish celebrates the purity of Nordic nature — wild herbs, fresh fish, local game, and garden vegetables prepared with care and respect for the land.
During the summer season, our terrace transforms into a serene forest dining experience every Wednesday. Choose between fish, vegetarian, or meat menus featuring the best ingredients our region has to offer. The Forest Dinner can also be booked for private groups at other times (minimum 2 persons, maximum 25).
A Nordic Menu Inspired by the Wild
Your dinner begins with a selection of starters such as smoked salmon skagen on malt bread, savoury smoked reindeer pie, or a caramelised onion–potato tart — each complemented with hand‑picked wild herbs.
For the main course, enjoy light wild fish from nearby Kivijärvi, tender local beef with spruce shoot–red wine sauce, or a delicate green pea Wallenberg served with herb‑potato purée. All options include wild herb potatoes and a fresh green salad.
To finish, choose from desserts inspired by the forest: meadowsweet ice cream, spruce ice cream, cloudberry pannacotta, or a warm blueberry “mustikkakukko”.
Drinks
Pure Finnish tap water and berry juice are included. A wine package — sparkling aperitif, two wine pairings, and a dessert avec — is available for an additional fee.
