Nordic food: The quiet clarity of Finnish cuisine
Finnish cuisine is shaped by pure flavours, carefully sourced ingredients and a close relationship with nature. Forests, lakes and the sea are never far away, and their presence is reflected not only in the ingredients themselves, but also in the restrained techniques and quiet clarity that characterise the plate. At its core, Finnish food is about balance, seasonality and respect for raw materials — a culinary culture that moves confidently between comforting classics and contemporary Nordic cuisine. Here, you can discover Nordic food at hotel restaurants across Finland.
Nordic cuisine
Nordic cooking is a food philosophy rooted in the landscapes, climate and cultures of the Nordic region.
It is characterised by a close connection to nature, respect for seasonal ingredients and a belief that quality often lies in simplicity.
Strawberry offers a wide selection of restaurants where Nordic cuisine – and the philosophy behind it – takes centre stage.
