Havu Kitchen & Bar

The infinity of food.

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. The easiest way to see our current opening hours is through the reservation calendar.

We reserve the right to adjust our opening hours based on reservation demand.

Dinner

Dinner at Havu Kitchen is an invitation to a journey, where the quiet wilderness of Savo meets the bold flavours of kitchens around the world.

Havu Journey is a five-course dining experience inspired by Head Chef Simo Paalanen’s own journey through landscapes, cultures and memories.

Scandinavian sensitivity meets subtle Asian flavours, while every stop along the way is shaped by the finest seasonal ingredients, the pride of local producers and the curiosity of our kitchen.

Snowcat Dinner

Havu Kitchen draws on a long-standing tradition at the summit: arriving to dinner by snowcat.

The experience begins in a warm cabin that takes you on a ten-minute journey through the winter landscape to the summit. Upon arrival, you will enjoy Havu Kitchen’s signature dinner, optionally paired with a carefully selected wine pairing.

Available again during the 2027 winter season.

We show you the forest.

We invite you to experience the unique nature of Tahko with all your senses. Whether you choose the delightful details of breakfast or the unhurried atmosphere of dinner.

In every season, our kitchen draws inspiration from the surrounding forest and landscape. Our ingredients honour local producers and the rhythm of the seasons, while our flavours combine tradition with modern techniques.

We aim to offer more than just a meal, we want to create memories.
