From arctic nature to you
Chef´s Menu
Cahkal Hotel and Aika Restaurant will be closed for maintenance from May 7 to June 12, 2026. We will reopen on June 13, 2026—warmly welcome!
Aika Kitchen offers a daily changing three-course chef’s menu inspired by the northern seasons and our unique location at the border of three countries – Finland, Sweden and Norway.
Each menu is created from the best local ingredients available, allowing nature and seasonality to guide the experience.
Our cooking is simple, clean and ingredient-focused – a modern interpretation of northern flavours, rooted in the surrounding landscape.
If you have any questions or special requests, please feel free to contact us.
