RESTAURANT PALLAS
Pallas log restaurant serves visitors to the fell a tasty and rich breakfast buffet and a delicious NORTHERN FLAVORS Á la carte menu designed by
Tatu Ollila, Young Chef of the Year 2024.
STORY OF RESTAURANT
Pallas's atmospheric log restaurant was built in 1948, ten years after the funky hotel by Vatikuru was completed.
A little before the start of the war in Finland, the furniture of the old hotel had been saved to the Swedish side in Pajala. Today, the copper reindeer bell lamps that can be found on the ceiling of our wonderful restaurant hall once also decorated the old Pallas hotel.
The hotel's lamps are one of the most famous things in our restaurant. The restaurant hall and the cabinet are decorated with numerous paintings. Most of them are wonderful works by the local artist, Veli Koljonen, who lives in Särkijärvi.

The three-course northern flavours menu is a tribute to the
magnificent ingredients from the North. They have witnessed the
white nights of the summer, the plants and herbs that enhance
their flavour and the game animals that get their power from
the enchanting moon of the cold polar nights.
Even though our dishes honour traditions, they are totally unique
in today’s Lapland, both in terms of freshness and flavours.
Our personnel will be happy to tell you more

CHAMPAGNES
There is only one place in the world where Champagne is made, in the Northern French wine region of Champagne, 150 km north-east of Paris. Champagne is suitable for any occasion; as an aperitif, savoured with a meal, to toast special occasions, socialising or to round off an evening. The quality factors making Champagne distinct from other sparkling wines are the northern location, particularly traditional techniques for making, and the chalky soil. Three grapes are permitted for use in Champagnes; Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. Using these grapes, a complex mixing process is performed using traditional ways of preparation to produce the world’s most esteemed sparkling wine, champagne.

RICH WHITE WINES WITH A HINT OF OAK
These wines have matured in oak barrels and the oak aroma is well presented in its bouquet, sometimes roasted and smoky, sometimes nutty with vanilla – depending on the oak. The flavour is bountiful and full-bodied. These wines are best suited with strong flavoured fish or shellfish dishes. White meat dishes also go well with these wines.

ROSÉ WINE
Rosé is produced the same way as white wine, but using red grapes, and contact with grape skin is very brief. Rosé is superb with salads, vegetable dishes and a variety of fish dishes. Some of the bravest can try it with a pepper steak, as rosé retains excess pepper and harmonises the entirety. Also an excellent aperitif when chilled well.

SWEET WINES
These wines are mild and sweet, especially ideal for emphasising dessert flavours. The sweetness of the wine is achieved by three main natural processes: by drying the grapes, picking the grapes while frosty or with noble rot. The wines are also perfect in place of dessert.
