Lilja is a gastronome’s delight, Finnish at heart yet inspired by the traditions of French cuisine. Our menu flows with the seasons, showcasing exceptional ingredients, sustainably sourced both locally and from select European producers. The curation of dishes honours our Nordic heritage, with a modern take on international favourites reflecting our cosmopolitan approach to an exceptional dining experience.
Welcome to Lilja.
To ensure your dining experience with us is exceptional, we kindly ask you to inform us of your dietary restrictions or preferences, including vegan or vegetarian options, when making your reservation.
Grand arched windows filter natural light into the stylish, contemporary Lilja Dining Room as the distinctive Nordic luxury aesthetic of the hotel is interwoven throughout. The Dining Room hosts guests for an exquisite daily breakfast and afternoon tea on Saturdays. This space is also an elegant setting for private events and special celebrations with curated chefs menus available for your occasion.
Capturing the beauty of every season, Lilja Terrace allows guests to watch the snow fall while dining in the warm and welcoming winter garden setting of the glass-enclosed patio. As the warmer months approach, the terrace opens to the courtyard for socialising in the sunshine and the long Finnish summer days. Lilja Terrace is open daily for à la carte dining for lunch and dinner.
Our menu is a unique and modern perspective on French and international cuisine, while being centred in our Nordic heritage. Inspired by exceptional seasonal ingredients, locally sourced and from carefully selected purveyors in proximity to Finland, our dedication to quality is always in harmony with sustainability. Each dish is refined and elevated.
