A visit to restaurant Nili is a combination of tastes, scents and atmosphere. In the restaurant you can watch our skilled and cheerful staff at work through the open kitchen shutters. Our cornerstones are pure Lappish and Finnish ingredients and the food is prepared with heart and soul from start to finish in our kitchen.
The tasty portions will not leave you hungry. On our menu you will always find for instance fish caught in the pure Lappish lakes, game, berries and mushrooms. Upon request we will make menu suggestions just for your group. If you want to know more about the food feel free to as our chefs, the kitchen shutters are always open…
