Gala menu Niitty
Gala menu Niitty is a diverse and festive selection featuring high-quality details. Carefully chosen local ingredients are the cornerstone of this menu. For the main course, you have three options to choose from for your whole group.
The pike-perch, served as one of the main courses, is freshly caught for us by a fisherman from the waters of Lake Keurusselkä. The beef option comes from Niittymäki Farm in Vilppula, and the local halloum-style cheese is sourced from Juustoportti. Halla cheese, made from Finnish cow’s and goat’s milk and flavored with mint, is another highlight.
The entire menu is served buffet-style.
