Menu
Menu 1 - A Breath Of The Forest
For centuries, the forests around Juuka have provided
their gifts – mushrooms, berries, and roots
carried to village houses to be slowly baked
in the warmth of the stone oven.
Near Puu-Juuka, it was said that ancient woods
were guarded by forest spirits,
honored by taking only what nature freely offered.
This menu embraces that heritage: ingredients from the woods
are transformed with gentle heat into deep, grounded flavors.

Menu 2 - The Karelian House of Soapstone
Juuka is known for its soapstone,
a material that shaped both local craftsmanship
and the hearts of village homes.
Stone ovens were the heart of celebration,
producing the finest dishes for feast days.
Smoked duck and oven-tender pike-perch
continue this soapstone tradition – honoring time,
fire and shared meals.
From the shores of Lake Pielinen came fishermen
whose catch graced festive tables;
here that legacy meets modern interpretation.

Menu 3 - The Heritage of The Seurojentalo
For generations, the Seurojentalo
has been the heart of local life – hosting weddings, meetings
and feasts filled with vendace
from Lake Pielinen and slow-braised meat.
In Puu-Juuka, it was said that beef
was sealed into the oven overnight
while hosts prepared for the next day’s celebrations.
This menu honors those stories – time, patience
and the hands that made gatherings memorable.
