Gourmet for dinner

Dinner is just as exquisite as lunch. Many of the lunch dishes are also available in the evening, but the freedom of choice here is greater.

For the main course, you can choose from both fish and meat, including poached cod with butter sauce and pink roasted reindeer fillet with roasted mushrooms.
