Eight restaurants in Rovaniemi, from reindeer fillet on Valtakatu to a Korean kitchen on Korkalonkatu. Ratings, review quotes and menu links.
The densest cluster of tables in Lapland: five of them share four streets.
Rovaniemi is the one town in Lapland where you can choose a restaurant on foot. Nili and Arctic Restaurant sit almost opposite each other on Valtakatu and cover the reindeer-and-cloudberry end of the menu. A few hundred metres away, Roka Street Bistro on Ainonkatu and Cafe & Bar 21 on Rovakatu are the rooms locals use on an ordinary Tuesday. And when you want a break from reindeer, Hanki on Korkalonkatu cooks Korean.
The five city-centre restaurants are within 500 m of each other: the whole choice is one walk.
Three are outside the centre: Sky Kitchen & View 2.4 km out, Kotahovi 6.8 km out on the Santa Claus Village road, and All About Salmon at the village itself.
Hanki on Korkalonkatu is Korean, not Lappish, and sits in the same compact centre as the rest.
