Immerse yourself in a relaxing and rejuvenating dining experience

Our wilderness chef Tomasz’s extensive experience in the international restaurant industry guarantees the high quality of the dishes in our wilderness kitchen. You can sit on a wooden bench, an old tree stump, a rock, or soft moss. The sounds of nature provide soothing background music.

Each course carries the flavors of nature and a hint of campfire smoke

We primarily use wild herbs and vegetables, occasionally incorporating local fish and game. Our wilderness kitchen invites you to dine outdoors in unexpected, rejuvenating locations. Once nature awakens your senses, you'll fully appreciate the flavors and subtle nuances of each dish—creating a truly enriching experience.

Eating by the campfire brings us together, as it has for thousands of years

Experiencing this culinary adventure in the middle of nature is not just about being spoiled with incredible food; it’s also about building relations.

As our guest, you're free to be whoever you are!

"Wilderness Lunch is a once in a lifetime experience!"

- Liemessä blog, Jenni Häyrinen
"Being served food every day around the campfire that you only find in the best restaurants sounds unlikely, but we were able to experience it and thoroughly enjoyed it!"
- Yves Cocquyt
"We were absolutely spoiled with the delicious food that was prepared on the campfire. We all went silent to savour every tasteful bit that was prepared for us."
- An Vermeire
"The food was as good as I've had in any nice restaurant in Helsinki, with things like pickled black currant leaves or spruce sugar that Thomasz has foraged for."
