🍣 I had the best salmon of my life in Rovaniemi!

❄️ Restaurant recommendation in Rovaniemi: Ravintola Roka Street Bistro On our first day of free travel, we stayed near Rovaniemi train station and found this restaurant on Google Maps 🌟 with a 4.6 rating. Many restaurants were closed on Sunday, so it was quite a feat to find one with such a high rating open. We arrived around 6 PM and only had to wait about 10 minutes in line before we were seated by the window with a view of the snow! ❄️🪟 All the dishes we chose were exceptionally delicious and reasonably priced! Don't miss out on this gem! 💕 For drinks, we ordered two cups of cloudberry juice! If you like sour, go for cloudberry; if you prefer sweet, choose blueberry. The waiter's trilling accent was so adorable when taking our order. The menu offers single or double portions of a platter, which is a must-try! We opted for the double platter, and every little dish on it was delicious, especially the salmon which was so sweet and fresh (writing this makes me want to rush back for more). The small fish bones were soft and could be eaten without any prickly sensation. The crushed venison with berry jam was divinely fragrant and crispy. The sauce on the bread, even the cucumbers, were specially prepared and tasted amazing. The famous venison 🦌 was a bit nerve-wracking to try, but it was super delicious and not much different from beef! Medium-rare, with sauce and side mushrooms, it was a feast of meat and snow views 🥹. For dessert, we had a cloudberry crème brûlée. It was so good! Not overly sweet, very rich and aromatic, and the sauce was also delicious. All the berry fruits here are prepared very well, not too sour. We were extremely satisfied with our first day's meal! Full and warm on the way back to our lodging, a good meal and sleep set us up beautifully for our Finnish adventure! More updates to come! #Finland #Rovaniemi
