We dined at the Kota Restaurant at the Arctic SnowHotel and overall had a mixed experience. The setting is absolutely stunning and very unique, which made the evening feel special from the start. We ordered reindeer and salmon. The entrée was amazing — beautifully presented and full of flavour. I had the salmon as my main, which was excellent: perfectly cooked and very tasty. Unfortunately, my partner’s reindeer with mashed potatoes was served cold and wasn’t really well flavoured, which was very disappointing, especially given the quality and price point expected at a restaurant like this. It’s a shame, as the location and concept are incredible, but more attention to seasoning and serving temperature would greatly improve the experience.

Had a lovely lunch while visiting the Arctic Snow Hotel for the day. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly. The salmon pasta was delicious and my Mum enjoyed the reindeer pasta. The hot berry juice is so good - I had some on my trip to Lapland in 2007 and was excited to have it again! The atmosphere was relaxed and we enjoyed sitting by the fire. Prices are very reasonable too. Would definitely recommend.
