Myllyn Äijä
A long-running Lapland restaurant founded in 1995 by local Kittilä brothers. Smoked reindeer and mushroom soup and stir-fried reindeer are the usual orders.
Founded in 1995 by the Virmakoski brothers from Kittilä, right beside the Levi Visitor Centre, this is one of the resort area's oldest local restaurants, known for traditional Lapland flavours and reasonable prices. Popular choices include smoked reindeer and mushroom soup with Lapland flatbread, stir-fried reindeer with mashed potatoes and lingonberries, reindeer tenderloin, and the namesake Myllyn Äijä thin-sliced steak, along with garlic-baked snails. Local media say reservations are generally not needed. Closed on Sundays.
