Restaurants in Ruka

A review of Rookie's restaurants and cafes that serve the most delicious food.

The restaurants in Ruka are not limited to the resort town. They can be found on the slopes, where guests are offered a snack while skiing. There are catering establishments in the surrounding area, where there are many cottages for accommodation. The Ruka-Kuusamo region has at least 60 restaurants, cafes, pizzerias and bars.

Both expensive and inexpensive restaurants in Ruka offer mainly traditional European cuisine. An obligatory element of the menu is local Lappish dishes. According to reviews, Ruka restaurants Piste, Rukahovi, Kaltiokivi serve sumptuous dishes made of venison, bear meat, hare meat and other game.

There are many lakes in the region, so the best restaurants in Ruk, such as Rukan Kuksa, offer their guests bluefish on a skewer, creamy cod soup, stuffed ruffed cod and many others. Not to mention berry marmalade, jellies and infusions. The best cafes in Ruki are the so-called Swiss bistros, where you will be pampered with meat dishes and hot drinks. Among all this variety, Russian restaurants have not taken root in Ruka.

The prices in Ruka's restaurants are sometimes surprising too. According to tourists' reviews, you'll have to pay 17 EUR for mushroom soup, 60 EUR for bear stew, and a bottle of wine will cost 25 EUR. Therefore, if you need a snack, buy a sandwich at Subway snack bar, or a pizza at Classic Pizza Ruka, Kottipizza. The prices at Cafe Ruka are pretty reasonable.
