Tapio

Located just a stone’s throw from the slopes in the ski resort of Ruka, this endearing little restaurant is run by British Chef Connor and his Finnish partner Johanna. They serve around 20 guests in a warm, relaxed setting with vintage skiing posters on the walls. Excellent produce, be it hand-dived Norwegian scallop or local trout, is the basis for each skilful dish. The accompaniments appear simple, but add real depth of flavour to the cooking, like a rich foraged cep sauce with the scallop.
