Savurafla Kotisaari is a unique summer-only BBQ restaurant located on Kotisaari Island in Rovaniemi, Finland. Set in a restored boathouse that once served as a base for lumberjacks, the restaurant offers a rustic dining experience infused with local history.
Accessible only by a scenic boat ride along the Kemijoki River, the journey itself adds to the charm of the visit. Guests can enjoy smoked BBQ dishes prepared on-site, all while surrounded by the island's lush greenery and historical ambiance.
This smoke will rise again from Kotisaari starting on 13.6.2025! The reservation calendar opens on Tuesday 13.5.2025.
