Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The restaurant is located on a mountain peak and has a cozy atmosphere. I went there twice with my family and enjoyed the salmon soup and the grilled salmon, both were very tasty. The highlight of the visit was seeing the beautiful landscape and the...reindeers roaming around.More

Its a walk aways uphill-at the top...i think its mainly for skiers who go uphill. I was soooo looking forward to a hot cup of coffee,especially as it was ice cold and very windy! My cappuccino was lukewarm...its like when you make the coffee,add a...bit of milk and scoop some cream/foam on top...ha ha,i almost laughed out loud! No,i wouldnt order it again at the same ravintola. Our doughnut was....well,it was the first time i was having a doughnut, so,i dont know what to say about that... If you have had a good cup of cappuccino elsewhere,then please skip this one...go for something else(that might be better).More

I had lunch in the Restaurant Huippu and it was tasty. I took salmon soup + salad; the side dish salad was good basic salad and the salmon soup was very tasty. There is nice views from the restaurant and the location is WOW; on...top of a Kaunispää fell. Visit also the Observation tower next to the restaurant; there is and awesome view from there.More

Wonderful views from a top of Kaunispää. Great cafe: nice and big munkki's as well as lomalla pastries. They serve food as well, but we didn't try that.

Ate easy food but still it was not too good just okay And for that price just poor. A bit over priced place. They could fresh up the decoration a bit at least because of corona. Maybe put a fire in the fireplace and a...nice lounge area to separate the hall a bit. The plates, glasses etc looked quite old - there could be some nice old Iittala etc to make it look nicer. At least you can order Minttu hot chocolate and Glögi there. The shop nearby is good.More

The restaurant is located at the very top of the Kaunispää fell. We only had a coffee there. The ladies liked the coffee a lot, but I found the cappuccino below average.

We spent a nice day of taking the ski lift up and sledging down the great slope with our two kids. This place was conveniently located on top of the hill, next to the ski lift. Lovely salmon soup, fresh salad table and also various...other dishes available. The service was abosolutely lovely and we felt really welcome. This place was really quiet and definitely not full of people. Next to the restaurant they have a nice gift shop - also worth visiting (also really good service)!More

This is a good spot for lunch when skiing or tobogganing. Nice big log fire. Good food. Lots of visitors coming and going from the pistes, so quite a bustling place. Has a gift/souvenir shop too, for those arriving by bus or car.

This place was a literal hike to get to - though not too difficult of one. You can walk up from the town of Saariselka (or take the ski lift, ski bus, or a taxi, etc.). The restaurant is cozy and welcoming and also has...a cute souvenir shop as well. I had the salmon soup and it was delicious - I spent the rest of the trip trying to get a bowl of salmon soup that was as good as this one and it was never matched. Definitely worth a visit. It was snowy and overcast when we were there but I'm sure on a clear there'd be beautiful views from the top.More

Popped in here for lunch. It's at top of the ski run. We weren't skiing today so caught the ski bus up which is fairly regular. For €5 per adult per day it's good value. Nice warm well presented and clean surroundings. Staff helpful, friendly...and welcoming. Soup is delicious and filling. There is a lovely souvenir shop the other side of the restaurant which has different things in to what you can find in Sarriselkä itself. The lady was very helpful in there also. Situated close to top of chairlift so not too far to go when you need a break when skiing. Toilets situated on the level so easy to access in ski boots.More
