Ravintola Elsa

★ 5

Ravintola Elsa sits out on Ylläksentie between Kolari and Ylläs, a small, independently run restaurant that has built a strong local reputation despite being off the main resort strip in Äkäslompolo or Ylläsjärvi.

The out-of-the-way location means it draws people specifically rather than passing ski traffic, which tends to make for a quieter, more considered meal.

Local tip: Check opening days before setting out – being outside the main villages, it doesn't keep the same daily hours as the resort-centre restaurants.
