Dining

Food grown in the wild - naturally

Herrankukkaro also provides a different kind of culinary experience. We do not use additives, industrially processed raw ingredients or products. Practically speaking, we make almost everything ourselves—starting with our home-baked archipelago bread. It all happens on site in our own kitchen, here and now. Therein lies the secret to our food’s deli-cious taste and wholesomeness. Furthermore, our food is primarily obtained from the wild, plucked from nature and naturally grown—authentic flavors from the fields, forest and sea. Fish, game, mushrooms and berries, flavored with natural wild herbs.

We use raw ingredients from nature according to the season, availability and success of the catch. We serve meals as a buffet, for example, so that those with special diets will have a good selection to choose from. We also offer a unique possibility for “active dining.” This means that guests receive information and guidance and, if they like, may them-selves take part in food preparation between meals.
