Modern Karelian Feast for Groups

Ravintola Parppeinpirtti
Parppeintie 4, 82900 Ilomantsi

The Modern Karelian Feast

is put together respecting Karelian tradition, spiced with the personality of the local region.

The absolute hit products of the meal are the oven-fresh Karelian pies and Ilomantsi vatruskas made in the house's pie bakery. The meal begins in the Karelian style with a versatile appetizer table, adorned with various fish appetizers and ample salads. For the main course, enjoy cream-glazed salmon, and Karelian stew slow-cooked in the oven with its accompaniments. For dessert, forest delicacies are savored in the form of berry kissel, along with coffee and brewed tea.

By agreement, the feast is available for groups year-round. Karelian pastries and Ilomantsi vatruskas can be purchased from the traditional bakery for take-home with advance order. Here you can find more information about the traditional bakery's selection and prices.
