Havu Kitchen & Bar represents Scandinavian purity that meets the Eastern taiga. In the morning, we wake up with the sun, serving breakfast, thereafter taking you to lingering moments over lunch and finish off by bringing to the dinner table all the beauty and know-how we have. We take the time to be special.
Please make a table reservation before arrival.
Havu Kitchen & Bar brings moments to the evenings that charm by their joy and are full of surprise. On the top of Tahko dances a great flame that blows taste to our kitchen. We take the time to be special. The dinner memories created by us are, hence, more delicate and beautiful.
In the morning, we turn the day on by breakfast, who everyone is welcomed to enjoy. Tranquility is manifested in long-cooked porridge, pure smoothie bowls and season’s specialties, such as autumnal pear juice.
Dinner
Nights at ours flame and sparkle. Havu Kitchen’s dinners are an invitation to an experience where the rhythm of the northern seasons meets the bold flavors of Scandinavia and Asia. We serve four- and six-course surprise menus, crafted from the season’s finest ingredients, local producers’ pride, and our kitchen’s curiosity.
We have two unique Surprise menus – 6 courses 99€ and 4 courses 79€. Reservation required.
Our wine list reflects our boldness. Alcohol free drinks packages charm by their inventiveness. Even our water is pumped from the depths of the Tahko mountain.
Lunch
Our lunch menus are prepared with a pinch of the classic. You can pick an experience of multiple courses and bring you on-piste lunch experience to the level found in the Alps. Our lunch menu chages weekly and includes fish, meat and vegetarian options. Lunch is finished with dessert and coffee.
Breakfast
A Havu morning lingers at the edge of the sky—unhurried and reaching for perfection. Our breakfast features freshly prepared warm dishes made to order, the purest seasonal flavors, local specialties, and moments meant to be savored. Enjoy it as a relaxed brunch or with the first light of day. We kindly ask you to reserve a table for breakfast.

34-year-old Kim Mustonen has travelled the world working in different kitchens at a breathtaking pace. The winner of the head chef series of the PRO awards in January has already worked in Helsinki, London, New York, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Seoul, Sydney and latest in Nice.
His journey to Tahko, thus, was not direct. For sure, Kim, who also has explored the nearby forests, has once lived in Nurmes, too. Now the power of cosmopolitanism meets domestic inventiveness at Havu Kitchen & Bar.
“I am excited to partake in revolutionizing Finnish culinary landscape in a place where ingredients are genuinely sourced from right outside the walls, from the forest, and the neighbors dance in carnivals until daybreak”, Kim says.
