Where to eat: the 10 best restaurants in Inari (2025)

1 list

We discovered this amazing place by chance. The couple is just great and so friendly. It was a pleasure to spend the night there in the motorhome. Fantastic surroundings, wonderful peace and absolutely delicious food. The reindeer burger is fantastic and highly recommended. We'd love to come back.

Amazing place. A warm, welcoming, diverse place north of most of north things. The huts are great, including a sauna! Great place to start aurora hunting (my stay got 60% of nights with aurora, an anomaly, still...). Ask about dog sleds, reindeer farms or snowmobile for more fun.If you are looking for a northern area to visit, look no further.

We stayed here for one night in early September. We had a warm welcome even though we arrived at night after the closing time. All in all our experience was beyond positive. Kevin and Kinga were lovely people and we felt ourselves welcomed. I'm hoping to visit Muotkan Ruoktu again soon!

Love Hans, Love Lapland

Super freundlicher Empfang vom Besitzerehepaar. Cottage zweckmäßig ausgestattet. Haben im Restaurant Geschnetzeltes vom Rentier gegessen. Sehr lecker!! Für einen kurzen Trip, absolut empfehlenswert.(Translated by Google)Super friendly welcome from the owner couple. Cottage functionally equipped. Ate sliced ​​reindeer in the restaurant. Delicious!! For a short trip, absolutely recommended.

Multilingual gem. I used the campground along the river and loved the feeling of being in the lapland wilderness. The hosts Kevin and Kajsa cook tasty food with local ingredients and generously share their stories. Top experience.

I had a great stay here after a through-hike in the wilderness area. Kinga and Kevin are really enthusiastic, happy and warm-hearted people who really made me feel at home even though they were super busy due to a big hunting dog event on the weekend I was staying. The food is tasty (e.g. fish and chips made from fresh fish) and the location is beautiful. Had a really nice day trip from Muotkanruoktu to Kiälláávääri top with beautiful scenery and at night I saw the northern lights above the river. There is a sauna next to the river so you could go from sauna to have a river bath, unfortunately the weather was too cold for me. The place is old and needs a lot of renovation but Kinga and Kevin are making it great one step at a time. The adventure cottage I stayed in didn’t have heating or running water, but is really homely. I can warmly recommend staying in Muotkan Ruoktu and I think it’s all the time becoming better with the renovations.

Wir waren vor zwei Wochen an diesem tollen Stellplatz, als wir auf dem Weg zum Nordkapp unterwegs waren. Das Betreiberpärchen ist super nett und wir haben uns direkt gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Die beiden haben den Campingplatz erst vor kurzem übernommen und befinden sich noch in den Renovierungsarbeiten. Daher sind die Sanitäranlagen noch recht alt, aber es wird sich immer drum gekümmert alles sauber zu halten. Wir empfehlen diesen Platz von ganzen Herzen und werden bestimmt nochmal wiederkommen.(Translated by Google)We were at this great parking spot two weeks ago when we were on the way to Nordkapp. The couple who run the place are super nice and we immediately felt like we were in good hands. The two only recently took over the campsite and are still in the process of renovating it. Therefore the sanitary facilities are still quite old, but care is always taken to keep everything clean. We recommend this place wholeheartedly and will definitely come back again.

Stranded on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, Kevin didn't hesitate to tow me and welcome me home.I can't thank them enough for being there for me in my hour of need.A little paradise for travelers,I wish them all the best for the future

Kevin and Kinga, first of all thank you for this amazing vacation that you provided for us!My wife and I spend three nights with our camper van here. We somehow slipped through their booking restrictions as their camping site was completely booked out for a hunting dog exhibition. Even though this likely already caused a lot of stress for them, they instantly made us feel welcome and at home and organized a spot for us!Kevin and Kinga are amazing and super nice hosts. They also provided us with tips for our trips. They really make you feel at home and as part of the community they are building in the very north of Finnland.The property is already partly renovated by them and they continue to improve the property.The toilets are fine (just a little cold in September) but super clean. The shower is really nice (rainshower) and also super clean. There is also a spot to clean your dishes.They also have an amazing dog named Umi, she is just the sweetest.Plenty of hiking trails are really close by and also other activities are plentiful.We also got to see some awesome northern lights from the hammock, that overlooks the river and also points north.The overall package is 10/10 and we will definitely come back during winter and book one of their cottages.

Very friendly. Beautiful inside. Can get useful information about hikes around, some food and stuff

Wir waren mit unserem Wohnmobil für eine Übernachtung dort. Sind von dem Betreiberpaar sehr herzlich aufgenommen worden und bekamen einen Stellplatz mit einer fantastischen Aussicht. Abends noch lecker in der Logde gegessen und nette Gespräche geführt. Auf der Durchreise zum Nordkap sollte man unbedingt dort anhalten.(Translated by Google)We were there with our motorhome for one night. We were warmly welcomed by the couple who ran the property and were given a parking space with a fantastic view. In the evening we had a delicious meal in the logde and had nice conversations. You should definitely stop there on your way to the North Cape.

This Place is very Special.Staff is friendly and nice.You can See, that there is a Progress, but you can also feel the Kind of magic at This Place. If i‘ll be ever been back to Lappland, i will come back.

We got there which was a very long hard day on the motorbike all day and late evening riding. We got there a hour after closing and was very thankful to find the wonderful couple still up and let us pitch our tent.From the moment we got there we was welcomed in the restaurant part for sitting down and have a drink and relax. We got changed and dharged our phones ,very polite friendly couple who spoke perfect english. And multi lingual which is very helpful for all the different people coming over.We will surely return the price was very good and very quiet and safe. We loved there dog they had and was so playful with me . We enjoyed our two drinks to help us unwind for the evening.When we come to Finland again we will return and tell others to visit 😊, we had a great time and hospitality was 5 star we wish you all the best in this beautiful place.Amy And Peter, England

We had a great reindeer stew before our hike and the service was relaxed and sweet.

Absolutely five star place. Hans is a legend. Poronkäristys is best one in a Lapland...

We stayed in a cabin in Muotka Ruoktu, which had its own bathroom and kitchen. We have experienced many places in Lapland, and this was truly a positive experience. The cabin had a real old-time Lapland feeling, updated with a newly renovated bathroom and kitchen. We recommend Muotkan Ruoktu to everyone who wants to experience a piece of Lapland's atmosphere and history with warm welcome and great hospitality.
