“ Great food and a stunning location with views. Service was brilliant and they went out of their way to arrange me a ride back to town. Much appreciated, I'll be back for sure! ”
“ American diner type of experience in a very nice setting. A large selection of bona fide Finnish souvenirs are on sale! ”
“ Had a delicious food on the terrace, elk patty, and elk burger. Both were big portion and tasty! I would come back again. ”
“ The camping site, restaurant, and shop in Kilpisjärvi offer a very good breakfast, a bar, and a well-stocked shop. Prices are fair. The view towards Treriksröset is stunning. The staff are friendly, and there are plenty of tables available, even during busy hours ”
“ I can also speak about the restaurant and the tourist shop. The restaurant is excellent, it has such an elegant, nice atmosphere, actually it's pretty neat. The moose burger is not that opulent, but quality is great. The tourist shop has many local (or at least regional) goods on sale. None of them are cheap Chinese trash. You may find field guides, as well as clothing items or cloudberry jams. 5/5 for the tourist shop. ”
“ What a fantastic place! It was the last stop before entering Norway and after going on some hikes, we were desperate for a shower. But they also had a Sauna, for free! Staff speaks English, is super friendly and helpful. The Restaurant has delicious food for decent prices, we did not expect it! Sure, the pizza is not like in Italy but I loved it! The restaurant anyways is a nice place to hang out, especially in front of the fire place. Yes, the washing machine is still broken, but we could use the one at the other camp site. The drying room here works splendidly! What a lovely place Disclaimer: We just stayed 1 night in our Camper, not in a room. ”
