Hossan Poropuisto Restaurant

Central Finland


At reindeer farm Hossan Poropuisto, this is the area's best place to eat. Hand-built wooden furniture, reindeer hides and an open fire make a atmospheric setting for smoked reindeer soup, reindeer carpaccio and roast reindeer with lingonberry jam. Children's dishes cost €8. The three-course menu must be booked three hours ahead; à la carte must be booked the day before.
