Souvas and renkok (reindeer stew) are two culinary experiences. Souvas is smoked reindeer meat which is fried and served on, for example, pizza, in wraps or on thin, flat, unleavened bread. You can also enjoy venison, grouse, char and cloudberries.
Restaurant Ripan
Serves specialities from the cuisine of Lappland. What about breast of grouse marinated in calvados with cranberry jelly or a cake made of frozen cloudberries with ”coffee-cheese” marinated in Kahlua, for example? Open all year round, but perhaps best in the summer with an area for open-air dining, midnight sun, mosquitoes and minigolf.
Mommas Steakhouse
A classic which was mentioned in Ted Ström’s famous song Winter Saga (”and the drinking gets going in Mommas pub”). Rustic decor, cosy bar and a view over the vast expanse of the mountains and the mine.
Nya Empes Hamburgerkungen
Here you will find the largest and most tasty hamburgers in Kiruna. This is where everyone goes after a late night in the pubs.
The Ice Hotel Restaurant, Jukkasjärvi
The Ice Hotel’s restaurant that serves food from Lappland in a tavern environment. Try fillet of reindeer or goat cheese, for example. Some food is served on ice plates. The Icehotel Restaurant has been awarded the Werner Vögeli Statuette, and written about in gourmet magazines throughout the world.
Restaurang Skáidi, Nikkaluokta
After climbing Kebnekaise having a good meal in the company of friends doesn’t go amiss. Skáidi in Nikkaluokta serves renkok as well as game fish from the mountain lakes. If you want to try all the Lappland specialities order a tasting menu. Mountain view from the restaurant. Book a table in good time.
