Master Chefs Introduce Themselves
  • Mika Roito & Pekka Salmela | Restaurants Huber and Haarla, Tampere

    The gentlemen from Huber and Haarla return to Pallas to show that reindeer, fish, and the forest have nothing to be shy about – nor do the chefs. You may leave the table of these gentlemen, but not hungry (and often with a slightly wide smile).

  • Joel Manninen | Lapland Hotels Sky Ounasvaara, Rovaniemi

    Arriving from the top of Ounasvaara, Head Chef Joel Manninen brings a modern northern touch and competition-level precision to Pallas. Currently competing in the Young Chefs World Championship, Joel is clearly on his way to something big – and you can already taste it on the plate.

  • Serko Rantanen | Boon Nam, Helsinki

    In Serko's kitchen, the flavors don't shy away but get straight to the point – often with a small twist. Surprises are in store, but in a good way (and the taste buds will surely stay awake).

  • Ismo Sipeläinen | Manor & Spa Hotel Haikko, Porvoo

    Ismo makes classics without fuss – and that is exactly why they work. If things come to a halt for a moment, the solution is found by grooming the mustache (and the result is again dazzling).

  • Benjamin Frostell | Lapland Hotels Bulevardi, Helsinki

    Benkku combines the city's style and the flavors of the fells in such a way that nothing is left to chance – except inspiration. The forest calms, but the sharpest edge of Helsinki is still visible on the plate.

  • Lasse Hyvärinen | Lapland Hotels Pallas, Muonio

    Lasse doesn't just know Pallas – he practically serves it on a plate. The heart of Pallas with a capital P, where everything succeeds – and if not immediately, then soon.

  • Tero Mäntykangas | Lapland Hotels
