SOLD OUT! MÄNTTÄ FOOD FESTIVAL SATURDAY 30 AUGUST 2025

Welcome to the Mänttä Food Festival, an annual culinary celebration organized by Restaurant Gösta and Serlachius! This unique event marries art and gastronomy in a delightful fusion within a unforgettable museum environment set in the peaceful Finnish lakeland.

Each year, five top chefs create five unforgettable dishes full of Nordic flavours, each inspired by the evening's theme and paired with the finest beverages. Every dish draws its inspiration from the art in the Serlachius Fine Arts Collection, making this festival a must-attend for all art and food lovers.

To enhance the holistic experience, participants have an opportunity to enjoy a relaxing sauna session in the award-winning Serlachius Art Sauna before the dinner.

This culinary adventure is sold out every year. Don't miss your chance to meet Finland's top chefs and discover their inspirations.

The evening is hosted by the TV star Sean Ricks.

Please note the event is organized in Finnish but the dinner menu and other essential information will also be available in English, when informed in advance.

FINNISH FLAVORSCAPES AS THE THEME OF THE YEAR

This year the dinner guests are immersed by the Finnish landscapes. Different landscapes have always been captured into paintings as well as to selfies. What kind of lanscapes can be found from the Serlachius Fine Arts Collection?

Landscapes also shape people and regional food cultures. One's own home landscape and its flavors can be carried with us for a lifetime. At the Mänttä Food Festival 2025, the top chefs of the unique restaurants from different parts of Finland will introduce the flavors and ingredients typical for their own regional landscape inspired by the art works of Serlachius Fine Arts Collection.
