Lunch restaurant and
cafe in Luosto
Café Uksakka is a cozy lunch café in the neck of Luosto, hosted by the family from Jaakkola’s reindeer farm. Uksakka offers delicious lunches and hearty reindeer dishes, all from the premium quality meat of Jaakkola’s own herd. Lunches change daily and come with a large salad buffet and potato bread called rieska. They are available MON – SAT at 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. Sometimes there is soup and sometimes a heartier home-cooked meal including stews and baked dishes. We value local ingredients and we always prepare all the food ourselves from start to finish.

Story of Uksakka
In Sámi belief traditions, Uksakka, the doorkeeper, is one of the three daughters of Máttaráhkká, the mother of the land. Uksakka’s duties include guarding newborn children and protecting them from bumps and falls. Café Uksakka is Jaakkola reindeer farm’s youngest addition – the hoped for and long-awaited evening star, born somewhat unexpectedly, but fueled by strong intuition and passion.
Delicious Reindeer Food and Local Ingredients
Uksakka’s focus is on tasty reindeer food and other local, high-quality ingredients. The reindeer meat comes from our own herd, berries and mushrooms from nearby forests, and fish from local professional fishermen. In Uksakka’s small shop you can find, for example, berry products from local producers, turnip jam and natural herbs.
Atmospheric Milieu and Personalized Service
In Uksakka’s atmospheric milieu, attention is paid to hospitality and a relaxed, but friendly service as well as the comfort of our customers. Authentic candles create a cozy table atmosphere, the walls are decorated with the handiwork of local artists, and the large windows are decorated with natural wreaths made by a local master florist. Exactly the same interesting eye-catching decoration delights in the wonderful 52-seater kota restaurant at the reindeer farm in Alakitinen – the place where the world’s most famous TV chef, Mr. Gordon Ramsay, was moved to tears.
