Autumn at Carelia is a celebration of the harvest. We proudly showcase the yield from our own field at Malmi's Green City Farm, and our menu is designed around what the land provides. Many of the vegetables and herbs come directly from our nearby field. These unique ingredients grow under the open sky, nurtured by skilled gardeners. Mushrooms and berries are foraged fresh from local forests by our trusted forager, Mikko Haverinen, with whom we’ve collaborated for many years. We also wanted to highlight the value of Finnish wild fish with the pike perch from Pielinen.
