Hidden in the calm embrace of Lapland’s nature, Restaurant Kataja invites you to slow down and savour every detail of the north.
Each dish tells a story of Lapland’s purity and spirit.
We are a reservation based restaurant and therefore recommend booking well in advance, as the number of available tables is limited.
Our 17:00 seating is always prioritised and filled first. Once this service has been fully booked, we will proceed to open and confirm reservations for the 19:30 seating. Dinner services take place from 17:00–19.00 and 19:30–21:30.
We proudly offer halal meat upon request to ensure an inclusive and authentic dining experience for all guests.
Whether you come for an intimate dinner, a quiet escape, or to share a moment with loved ones, Kataja welcomes you to a table where time stands still and nature feels close.
Reservations are confirmed for a minimum of four guests. Please note that we reserve the right to combine groups during dinner service.
When making your inquiry, kindly inform us of any food allergies or special dietary requirements. All dinner inquiries and bookings can be made by email at reception@magicalpond.com
At Kataja, food is only part of the experience — the rest is feeling truly welcome.
From the crackle of the fire to the friendly hum of conversation, everything is designed to make you feel at home.
Enjoy the peaceful view of snow-covered trees or the summer light playing on the water.
