Café Uuttusuo
A warm stop where the ski trails meet – by the open fire, in the heart of northern nature.
About us
We were born out of love for the pure northern wilderness. Real food culture is close to our hearts.
Café Uuttusuo is in Ruka, surrounded by beautiful nature where the main ski trails meet, right on the Vuosseli multi-use trail and the loop trail.
We give a warm welcome to skiers who need to refuel and to travellers who come for the peace and quiet. We share the stories of local flavours and the tradition of truly valuing food.
The pure taste of the north.
Our ingredients come from the local area: berries, fish and whatever the season brings. Eat with us or take your food to go.
