Pub

From a distance, Public House Selvä Pyy may not seem impressive, but positive reviews prompted me to give it a try and I was not let down. The menu offers a decent variety of burgers and snacks, including a local reindeer option, as well as an ample selection of non-alcoholic beer. The staff is friendly and efficient, taking orders swiftly despite the crowded atmosphere. Both the reindeer burger and the house burger were delicious with ratings of 4 out of 5.

Cafe

Bar

Cafe & Bar Routa Oy offers excellent food and beverages at affordable prices. They have a wide selection ranging from chips to meatballs, pasta carbonara, and burgers. Their coffee menu includes various options like espresso and latte. A must-try is their cloudberry vodka coffee or mint liquor hot chocolate, both of which are exceptionally delicious if you're in need of a warming drink. The kids' menu consists of sausages, chicken bites, and meatballs.

Had food several times at this bar. The taste was very good. The fries were some of the best we had. The last day we were in Finland I had the reindeer burger. Wish I tried it earlier in my holiday because the taste is awesome. This bar/cafe is perfect to have a drink after a long active day.

Sander B — Google review

Great food and drink really good value for money.Good choice from just chips to meatballs and mashed potatoes, pasta carbonara and burgers. All the usual coffees from expresso to latte. You must try the cloudberry vodka coffee or mint liquor hot chocolate both to die for if you need that bit of anti freeze Kids selection of sausage, proper chicken bites and meatballs..Staff wonderful and speak perfect English and a very sweet with the kids and gave them a chocolate. If you need a good bite to eat then try here.Open to early Feb to midnight for those wanting to see the aurora on the lake but need a break to warm up with a fantastic hot chocolate or something to eat with the kitchen open to 23:45.

Pizza restaurant

Pizzeria Via Tribunali Äkäslompolo offers delectable pizza choices, including two vegan options. Although there is a slight disappointment in the newer menu having fewer vegan selections compared to the previous one, this trusted establishment provides a satisfying dining experience. The location is superb, situated in the heart of the village, and they accommodate reservations for groups larger than eight individuals.

Great Pizza in the Artic Circle, on a winter holiday to Äkäslompolo.This restaurant is situated overlooking the by the Tunturintie 9401 road & is part of the small shopping mall near to the K Market.Went in on the off chance. Quickly seated and given menus.The vibe is minimalist - it wouldn’t be out off place in Shoreditch - and was playing good music over their speakers.The waitress was attentive, friendly but not intrusive.The beer is good. The pizzas even better. One Diavola, one Rudolph & two Con Salame pizzas were ordered and devoured. The dough is light & verybtasty The cost is pretty consistent with Finnish prices. The website shows that it’s part of a chain so has a reputation to uphold. Definitely recommend it.

Joe M — Google review

Delicious pizza and nice that there are two vegan options! However disappointing that this new menu has fewer vegan options than the older menu. I was worried when I read previous reviews about bad service, but our experience was very good!

Marguerite B — Google review

Espresso has a nice taste. But the milk for the Cappuccino is not foamed properly and way too hot - more a milk coffee instead of a Italian Cappuccino.

David K — Google review

We had early dinner in this Neapolitan pizzeria in the middle of Lapland. The service was friendly and fast, also the pizzas came fast. I had Prosciutto e fungi which was ok but not supertasty, my companion had Diavola, which she liked a lot. The pricing was moderate if not a little upscale. The place's interior design is modern but it felt a little bit bleak. Maybe it would feel different when it is full of people.

Excellent food and very friendly service. Food and drink is a little more expensive if used to UK prices but this is to be expected in a town full of tourists and ski resorts. I would highly recommend the aglio, olio, e pepperoncino pizza.

Restaurant

I recently had a remarkable dining experience at Restaurant Otso. The staff was exceptionally warm and welcoming, creating a friendly and cozy atmosphere. They took excellent care of me and made me feel special throughout my visit. The food was absolutely delicious, with generous portion sizes that left me satisfied. I particularly enjoyed the sauteed reindeer dish, which was truly amazing. They also offer gluten-free options for those with dietary restrictions.

Great wild meet dishes we had bear, moose and reindeer. It was was very delicious. And topped with Karhu beer best beer in world. Love this place. Very nice interior as well.

Martins F — Google review

Menu was almost as all over the place as the playlist.Fajitas were wildly overpriced considering that the salsa and the guacamole were storebought and the actual tortillas were the cheapest you can buy from a store.I had the cheese one and the main thing I had for filling was onion.The beef and reindeerpots had one taste which was pepper. Both meats were chewy and some of the vegetables felt almost raw.One star for good service and the otso=karhu beer tastes the same here as it tastes anywhere else.

Nice place, you can taste interesting kinds of meat there, for example bear, reindeer and moose. Keep in mind that the place is pretty expensive though... except to pay at least 30 euros.

Nice restaurant with an authentic feel. The food was good but pretty expensive (at least compared to back home, but maybe it's a Finnish thing). The staff was really friendly and helpful. Ordering was easy: they have menus in many languages, even Dutch 😄

Marcel S — Google review

Cosy place which serves unusual meats. I got a burger with a bear steak and smoked reindeer and my boyfriend got some moose meatballs. For dessert we had a Cloudberry Panna Cotta which was nice and creamy. Cloudberries are local berries and they are considered to be the most expensive in the world. We would like to visit the place again :)

Olena L — Google review

Felt very authentic with a lovely and cosy interior and atmosphere. Felt welcome upon entry and had menus in a plethora of languages. Some really interesting items on the menu too. I had the bear burger which was definatley something different and tasted lovely. Would 100% recommend

For our first time in Finland, this was a real treat! We've been there twice and enjoyed every bite of our meals. I myself ordered a beef burger and oh my was it a culinary journey, straight to the flavortown. Worth the wait.

Aman U — Google review

The food was good, but a bit underwhelming. I expected more from the bear burger. Price and quality didn’t add up for me. Also wasn’t pleased how they handled a big group. We waited 3 hours for 1 burger. Half of the table was finished when the others finally got served. Unfortunately the personal wasn’t very friendly either. I believe that when you go by yourself you will have a better experience, but I wouldn’t recommend for bigger groups.

Well Kitchen & Northern café is a fantastic dining establishment that offers some of the most amazing burgers you can find. The chef has exceptional skills when it comes to preparing the meat and buns, resulting in a mouth-watering experience. Customers have returned multiple times during their vacations and were delighted by the consistent deliciousness of their meals. The service is friendly and excellent, with fast delivery of food each time. This place is a go-to for burger cravings, as they even have vegan options available.

Super delicious burgers! Went there again the next day! Order amazing Aioli dip on top

Best burger I has in a long time! I ordered the lapland burger that also has a reindeer cold cut in it - simply so juicy and tasty! The burgers come with a choice of fries, sweet potato fries or salad. I paid 23 euros for the burger, sweet potato fries, garlic mayo and a tea. There is a fireplace and it's quite cozy. I would love to come back!

Went in the day before to have a look at the menu which is helpfully printed in both finish and English in the porch area we ordered 3 burgers all of which turned up at the same time (about 15 to 20 minutes) in very beautiful plate/traythings burgers were all cooked (medium so ask if you want it well done)and tasted delicious but you have to use a knife and fork to eat them as they are to l and messy to eat any other way (bit like a big mac)

All I can say is incredible food! Simple menu that mostly just consists of burgers but you can tell they have nailed them to perfection. We had the reindeer burger and it was so tender and flavourful. Definatley in the top 3 I've ever had. And the chips were also very well cooked and some of the best I've had in a while. Very cosy inside too.

Joshua B — Google review

Best burger I've had in Finland so far, it's up there with one of the best burgers I've ever had. That's saying something as I eat A LOT of burgers. The smoked mayonnaise is a particular highlight. The restaurant is really cool with a couple of old ski chairs upcycled into bar stools and old T-bar lifts turned into lighting. All in all a very pretty restaurant with exceptional burgers.

Such a lovely hotel to stay in. The older lady at reception was always willing to help us with booking activities, giving us advice etc. Our lodge had our own sauna and we were right next to the cross country skiing trails. And on one of the nights we stayed in we even managed to see the Northern lights outside our lodge. The buffet dinner is also decent value for Finland. We had a relaxing few days staying here and would recommend to others

Lovely place to stay. Rooms are in cabins and are very cosy, spotlessly clean with TV, fridge, kettle and hairdryer. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing with lots of choice on the buffets both breakfast and in the evening. The separate bistro and bar were also great offering alternative food options. Felt a very homely place to stay and would highly recommend it.

La chambre était petite mais très confortable, bien équipée et bien chauffée avec en plus le sauna juste à côté. Le petit-déjeuner était bon. l'ensemble de l'équipe était sympathique. Ce qu'on a mangé au bar était également très bon (soupe de saumon et renne mijoté). En revanche on aurait apprécié des horaires d'ouverture du sauna et du spa extérieur plus étendus. Avec seulement 3h d'ouverture, le spa était bondé et nous n'avons pas pu en profiter. Pareil, 3h pour le sauna ça ne laisse pas beaucoup de marge, surtout si vous prévoyez des excursions.(Translated by Google)The room was small but very comfortable, well equipped and well heated with the sauna right next door. The breakfast was good. the whole team was friendly. What we ate at the bar was also very good (salmon soup and simmered reindeer). On the other hand, we would have appreciated longer opening hours for the sauna and outdoor spa. With only 3 hours open, the spa was crowded and we were unable to take advantage of it. Same, 3 hours for the sauna doesn't leave much margin, especially if you are planning excursions.

Brice D — Google review

Lovely hotel. Not too big and it has al you need. Warming up at the fireplace in the cosy pub is great.The rooms are good, maybe the shower isn’t perfect but it does what it need to do.The only thing what could have been better is having queen size beds instead of two separate ones.And maybe more often the jacuzzi open!The location is good, just away of the the more busy centre. And it’s about half an hour walk to the supermarket(which sells almost everything), over the lake it might be slightly shorter, depending on the snow depth.In front of the hotel you can take the skibus which brings you to the slopes, worked fine to us.The restaurant offered buffet, and it was of good quality. As far as I know you can order a la carte, if you like.I recommend the hotel to make a Laavu or Tent, so you can being outdoors while making a fire. Would have been lovely to warm up while watching the northern lights next to the lake.

Coffee shop

Velhonkota Oy is a charming coffee shop located in Akaslompolo, known for its cozy ambiance and delicious treats. It is believed to have been the dwelling of the village's wizard, adding to its unique allure. The cottage has a round shape that enhances its cozy atmosphere, with a small fireplace and comfortable seating options. Guests can enjoy their time here by indulging in great berry juice with unlimited refills and mouthwatering donuts.

Amazing traditional finnish kota Cafe. Wood burning fire inside. Lots of homemade food and delicious hot drinks. The 10 minute walk through the forest to the Cafe was like a winter wonderland. One of the highlights of our trip! Finnish donuts and sweet hot chocolate all round!

The perfect pit stop while skiing and the cosiest place to have a kaakao near Akaslompolo. We had the savoury pancakes with Reindeer which was possibly the best pancake we ever had!

Nataly T — Google review

Velhonkota is worth visiting not just because of the atmosphere and good servings but also environmentally because they use minimal amounts of disposable cups and plates. Strong recommendation for ‘porolettu, munkki and mehu’ 14€ - a steady lunch after 18 km x-country skiing.

The Wizards Cottage! My absolute favourite cottage in Akaslompolo. Story goes every village used to have a wizard back in the days and this might have been the cottage of the wizard of Akaslompolo (Velon means wizard). It’s round, which makes it extra cozy. There is a little fireplace with a couch in front and some tables to sit on. Great berry juice with free refill and delicious donuts! Pancakes look and smell great too!

Kimberley N — Google review

Lots of options, quick service, cozy atmosphere. Good selection of tasty salty and sweet "lettu"s (thin pancakes).Also spotted kuukkeli here.

Juuso A — Google review

We visited Velhonkota cafe during the wintertime by cross country skiing. I think it is one of the best "cottage cafes" Ylläs wilderness area has. The location is easy to access from Äkäslompolo but also it is a nice place for a rest when skiing around the Ylläs mountain. The cottage itself is very nice and robust. Its huge fireplace is perfect for spreading warmth and for decoration. You can buy lunch, refreshments, cafe, tea, bun etc. but a "must" is to taste their wonderful thin pancakes with cream and cloudberries. The service is friendly. Pricing is high but one must consider the loacation - everything must be brought there by the snowmobiles during the wintertime. Mind the early closing time during the late spring, when days are longer.

Upon our arrival in Äkäslompolo, following an overnight train journey from Helsinki to Kolari, Jolie served as our first dining experience. We enjoyed very much of the lunch menu, featuring a reindeer pasta bowl and a smoked reindeer with baked potato. Additionally, we had the pleasure of experiencing the special Friday Night Dinner crafted from local ingredients. Beyond the exquisite food, Jolie provided relaxed ambiance and the warm, high-quality service.

I had the Glögi cake and later the tarte flambée with rainbow trout and dill oil. Along the way I enjoyed first the Ystäväntee and then the Ruuti tea. Everything was wonderful, qualitative and organic products (+gluten free, for which it concerns) and very finely prepared.Also the service was always very friendly. Enjoyed it very much just being there.

Good for short or longer brake while hiking. Pancakes, pastry mostly sweet stuff. Beer and other beverages. Toilets little bit smelly not so clean and located outside some walk away from main place. Restaurant-Cafe itself have lots of sitting space and very large outdoor terrace with absolutely stunning views.

A must-go cafe when skiing at Kesänkijärvi lake! The milk free doughnut was a great surprise - not the freshest, but 10 seconds in the microwave worked wonders. The service is not the friendliest, but does it's job.

This is one of my favorite ski cafès. It's great for stopping in the middle of a ski trip and having a cup of hot chocolate and a doughnut. The atmosphere here is always warm and welcoming. It's not too far away, so kids will enjoy it too. Great place for anyone who loves skiing.

(Translated by Google) Really good food, lovely fell scenery and good service. The meal was crowned by the dessert included in the price, i.e. a bun baked in the cafe's oven and coffee. I highly recommend!(Original)Todella hyvä ruoka, ihanat tunturimaisemat ja hyvä palvelu. Ruuan kruunasi hintaan kuuluva jälkiruoka, eli kahvilan uunissa paistettu pulla ja kahvi. Suosittelen lämpimästi!

(Translated by Google) Well, now Kellokas has got a worthy entrepreneur!Definitely the best lunch I've ever had at Ylläki (~2 holiday trips a year in 8 years). The taste and quantity are right - served to the table. The fresh donut served as dessert is perhaps already too much. 🙂 I will definitely go again.(Original)No nyt on Kellokas saanut arvoisensa yrittäjän!Ehdottomasti paras lounas, jonka olen Ylläksellä koskaan syönyt (~8 vuoden aikana 2 lomareissua vuodessa). Maku ja määrä kohdallaan - pöytään tarjoiltuna. Jälkiruoksi tarjoiltu tuore munkki ehkä jo liikaa. 🙂 Varmasti menen toistekin.
