Riipisen Riistaravintola

Central Finland


At the Kelo ski-lift area, 500m south of Ruka's main square, this log cabin has a rustic interior and attracts a convivial crowd. It specialises in game dishes, and you’ll find Rudolf, Bullwinkle and, yes, poor Yogi on the menu here in various guises, depending on availability and season. Arctic hare, willow grouse and boar also feature.
