If you want to experience a local restaurant for lunch, I recommend you Café Rovaniemi. You will be warmly welcomed by friendly staff. A buffet with homemade food and homemade bread is served daily, with a mix a flavour. It’s a cosy place, perfect as well for a coffee and fresh pastry, you will also find vegan delicacies. Enjoy a relaxing lunch under some pleasant music! Good bargain quality and price.
Living in Rovaniemi for many years, this is one of the first place I got seduced by! I have always liked this weird name bar and restaurant. When you push the door, you step in a vintage room. There you will taste the best burger in town, as well as delicious salads, surrounded by a flee market atmosphere. Friendly staff and many artistic details to spot in the place. On week end a dj will throw some vinyl’s and you can start to make couple of dance moves! It’s also a nice place for coffee and evening drinks. Feel free to write some comments on the toilet walls, there is always a pen near by. In summer you will appreciate the sunny terrace with a smoothy!
Travel to Turkey during your lunch time! When you enter the restaurant you are directly attracted by the buffet choice, with well dressed salads, meat, fish and vegetables. You can enjoy the smell of orient, surrounded by Turkish decoration. You can finish your meal with a Turkish coffee with loukoumi. A very good lunch place quality and price wise, with a large choice of food suitable for everyone.
