Saariselkä
Attached to the Kaunispään Huippu arts-and-crafts shop, this panoramic restaurant on top of Kaunispää fell has views across to Russia. Smoked-reindeer mousse with blackcurrant sauce, willow-grouse breast with Inarijärvi vendace roe, roast elk with morel sauce, and oatmeal pie with salmon and arctic char are among the savoury dishes; afterwards, don't miss the crowberry jam–filled doughnuts.
In summer, tables set up out on the timber deck.
