Before the five courses, we received tasty bread with olive oil. Thereafter, a unique mushroom creation followed which was a whole other dimension of tasting experience. Then, a combination of tofu, grilled carrot, carrot crisps and lingonberry lichens was offered. The main element of the dinner was a beautiful creation of roasted beetroot and onions in a refreshing berry and nut sauce. As the first element of the dessert a sorbet lollipop was served and then followed by berry sorbet. Also, the mocktails were exquisite and allowed us to get a taste of the rich variety of plants Lapland embodies. All in all, we truly enjoyed this experience and would love to come back one day.
