Main courses (pääruoat) are centered around iconic Finnish ingredients such as sautéed reindeer (poronkäristys), grilled salmon (grillattu lohi), and game meats (riista). These dishes are typically served with mashed potatoes (perunamuusi), lingonberries (puolukka), and rich sauces (kastikkeet). The use of wild herbs (yrtit) and seasonal vegetables (vihannekset) adds freshness and balance to the dishes.

Vegetarian options (kasvisannokset) are also available, often featuring forest-inspired ingredients such as mushrooms (sienet), root vegetables (juurekset), and grains (viljat). These dishes reflect the simplicity and purity of Nordic cooking.
