Dining in the forest

Lunch, dinner and Bathrobe Dinner

Food from the forest, windows to the forest.

The menu at Invisible Restaurant was designed by chef Matias Haapsaari, a 2024 Culinary Olympics gold medallist. The dining room has 45 seats and glass walls on every side, looking out onto the same forest that surrounds the spa.

Anyone can book a table. Have lunch during the day or dinner in the evening. If you are coming from the spa, a bathrobe is welcome attire.

The bathrobe dinnerStraight from the spa to the table

The bathrobe dinner is a relaxed fine-dining concept where guests enjoy the Arctic Spa first and then come directly to dinner wearing their comfortable bathrobes. Instead of changing into formal clothes, the idea is to let guests stay warm, relaxed, and in the same peaceful mood from the spa to the restaurant, while still enjoying high-quality cuisine and service.
