Monte Rosa

Rovaniemi


Inside the City Hotel, Monte Rosa goes for the romance vote with a low, candlelit interior and intimate booth seating. Chargrilled steaks are cooked to order; reindeer and local fish are also on the menu. Downstairs, the Bull Bar serves ribs and huge burgers out of the same kitchen.
