Miilu Bar & Grill

Our story

The story of Miilu Resort and our related restaurant Miilu Bar & Grill began when three friends put their ideas together. 

We wanted to bring a restaurant next to the ski track, where the scent of coals burning in the grill fills the surroundings and the music playing inside takes the thoughts of visitors from further afield to different ends of the world 

A restaurant where it's easy to walk in, even if you're wearing ski boots, and still enjoy a short or longer dinner.

Our food is suitable for sharing among a group of people at the table, or everyone can choose their favorite dishes from our a la carte list. We recommend the five-course seasonally changing Menu Miilu, for which our chefs have selected the best dishes from our restaurant. 

Classic cocktails, rarer whiskeys by the fireplace, a changing selection of wines and ice-cold beers. 

Friendly and adaptable service, time spent together and magical northern lights over Lake Ylläsjärvi.

 

In its second year of operation, Miilu Bar & Grill ranked in 2026 among Finland’s best restaurants, placing as the second best restaurant in Lapland and 66th nationwide. This was the second time Miilu Bar & Grill made the Top 100 list, as the restaurant ranked 91st in 2025. Read more here

Staff

Our kitchen is in charge of Miilu's own son, Alex Räsänen, who has made a name for himself in Helsinki's food scene, and who previously worked as a head chef, e.g. restaurant in Toppa, Farang and Gaijin. With Alex we have in the team strong group of long-term professionals.

Our food philosophy

The food is prepared from the beginning with the best ingredients of the season itself, and to complement the whole, we offer a wonderful selection of drinks. Our concept is based on open-fire grilled meats, whole fish, vegetables and various seafood, supported by side dishes and sauces from different cuisines around the world.

We make simple and tasty food with passion, always with a spark in the corner of our eyes.

Local Finnish food, the best domestic and foreign ingredients, always according to the season.

Grilled with real charcoal, smoked, playing with different flavors from the world.

Drinks

Our drink selection is bold and experimental. Stylish bubbles, great wines from small estates, international cocktails, fresh mocktails, local beers and, to top it all off, a unique whiskey selection. In addition to more traditional combinations, we encourage you to try combinations of whiskey and dishes prepared over an open fire.
