Rakas Restaurant & Bar

Arctic TreeHouse Hotel, Rovaniemi - FINLAND

Rakas, a panoramic restaurant, located in the main building of the Arctic TreeHouse Hotel by Arctic Circle, charms you with its unique ambience and menu, with meals made from local Lappish ingredients, prepared with a modern twist. Sesongin mukaan vaihtuvat menumme valmistetaan intohimoisesti ja rakkaudella hyödyntäen kuluvan sesongin ihania makuja.

The “Art Meets Food” – menu is a bespoke gastronomic concept created for Rakas by chef Petteri Luoto, offering diners a truly unique visual and culinary feast. Chef Luoto has worked in top restaurants around the world and represented Finland at the Bocuse d’Or, winning first prize. Luoto’s approach to food is rooted in sustainability and driven by his commitment to pairing local ingredients with global influences to create nuanced yet surprising results. These are then paired with unique artworks inspired by the menu. Every dish on the menu is an experience in its own right, encompassing flavour, scent and mouthfeel as well as the visual dimension, both on the plate and on the wall. All the artworks are available to purchase. The à la carte works will be accompanied by a handwritten recipe by Petteri Luoto. Following the purchase, the dish will be removed from the menu at Rakas.

Relax by the beckoning fireplace beneath the pine cone lamps, and enjoy delicious flavours that create out-of-the-ordinary, divinely tasty moments.
