We reserved in advance for our first night there. We had a great corner table and the Finnish waiter gave us some advice to try new things like deer meat etc... The meal was very good. I totally recommend.

We went for an early dinner without a reservation and were lucky to get one of the two tall tables near the entrance. The service was quick and the food we tried was very good - reindeer as an appetizer and main dish and cream...soup with crab meat. The place looked very cosy and with nice ambience, so definitely can recommend it.More

The food was great and the service was amazing. The steak was delicious and our waiter knew the menu very well.

It’s a cosy place with good food. The ravioli with the reindeer meat was exceptional. Some of the deserts were also very tasty. we had a good time during our dinner here.

I have to say, that everything was beyond amazing. I was eating alone and sometimes that makes things flow differently than eating with a partner or friend. This time I felt special like any other costumer and not the "one who eats alone." Which is...unfortunately very common in Finland. But here... I would say the service was same for everyone, and still at amazing level! The waiter was very attentive and social... (= this was a first restaurant in Finland where I have been and filling water to the glass really works! And I also mentioned that to waiter who maybe looked little surprised :D ) also he was very warm and caring. He asked many times how the food tastes and do I need something more or else. Took very good care of me! Service was perfect. Waiter was able to recommend wines and foods, also took note on everything I said. (like my sensitivity for tannin.) Food was great! I ate salmon soup for starter, steak for main dish and blueberry cake for dessert. Salmon soup was very good tasting, soft and gentle for a good starter. Not too heavy which was also good! Steak was amazing and the dessert!!! Oh wow... I had to eat it with my eyes closed and that's not even a joke! :D it was that great! Overall... 10++ ratings for me to this restaurant! If you´re eating alone do not hesitate to go there! Atmosphere and decor was calm, and kinda romantic. I will visit again! Thank you! Kiitos kovasti! En jaksa kääntää samaa suomeksi, mutta aivan ihana kokemus! Tulen uudelleen, kun vierailen rovaniemellä!More

Went to monte rosa to celebrate my sisters birthday. We booked a reservation (20pm) before and right when we went in a waitress guided us to our table. Waitress told us to sit and wait while she brings us the menus. We had noticed that...the restaurant had a big reservation (though finishing customers) on and almost all the tables full, so we understand if it takes time. We waited for 20 minutes till another waitress came to ask us how we are doing assuming we have ordered already. We told her that we havent even seen the menus yet and she went right away to pick them for us. After getting the menus, me and my sister we notified our allergies. Waitress took it well and went to kitchen to ask about it and told us to start thinking about what we'd like to order. After a while the waitress came back with no information about the allergens. We agreed to order and afterwards she would go and ask about it. She also took our drink order and quickly we got 2x wines and 2x beers. After over 1 hour we got our starters. Some of them were nice my salad "natural" was basically salad, 4 cherry tomatoes and 2 THIN SLICES of bell pepper. How disappointing. The main disappointment was the disaster of the main dishes. After waiting 30minutes more, two waitresses came with our main dishes. Clearly calling by the name of the dishes, they served the plates nicely infront of us. Told to enjoy and went away. I ordered reindeer in two ways, but the dish looked different than i imagined. I started to turn "the roasted potatoes" which turned out to be something with cream (my partner without allergies tasted it). After calling a waiter, the same waitress came who took our order and knew the allergies. I asked her what is the potatoe-thing and does it include cream etc. Waitress told me that she asked the kitchen and made sure that the raindeer in two ways didnt include anything that could make me sick. She was looking at the dish and recognized it as "reindeer in two ways". She took the plate and went to kitchen. Right away the same waitress came back with the plate and another waitress. They told us that two dishes switched places and my sisters partner had mine and i had his (wild boar, the dish includes ingredients that i am allergic to). The other waitress asked us what we wanted to do about it like it was our place to do their job. My sisters partner had ate over half of my dish, so clearly i was not about to eat the leftovers. With waitresses we agreed to leave the dish to sisters partner and unfortunately i had to wait to get a new dish. Others starter to eat their food, i had to wait. After 30mins i got my own dish. Waitress told us that they cannot compensate my dish because my sisters partner had ate it (they never gave us any other options) but she can give us desserts for free! Well we had no idea what desserts there were and she never offered us the menus to take a look. She just told us that they have coffee and icecream to make us happy, but she had to go check the flavors. After waiting for 15mins, she never came back so we decided to ask to go (it was past 10pm already). After all they compensated approx 10% (one starter) and were sorry and hoped for us to come visit again. After going home my sister got sick from the stomach. We spent over 2 hours and 200 euros for this disaster birthday dinner and it was clear that we were not highly prioritized and appreciated customers.More

Whilst in Rovaniemi we had our anniversary dinner at Monte Rosa. Being greeted with a Glas of bubbly we instantly felt welcome and taken care off. Staff was very friendly and helpful throughout and the food was very tasty. Portions are quite big ;)

My wife and I enjoyed a delicious diner at Monte Rosa in Rovaniemi. My wife chose the sauteed reindeer and I enjoyed the Lapland menu which was a 3-course menu with all local and Lappish specialities. The food was perfect, the setting was cozy and...the service was excellent! Worth to visit!More

It’s not a bad restaurant in Rovaniemi. We went there based on a recommendation from our tour guide. The service is excellent and the food was good.

Good service, very tasty dishes, nice atmosphere. Good location in the center. But for broken dishes I give 4 stars.More

A lovely restaurant where you dine by candlelight, we went for a special Christmas Eve dinner. Everything from the appetizer to the dessert was really excellent. The staff was very helpful and friendly

Place found thank to TripAdvisor. Food excellent: reindeer is a must when in the country and we found an extremely good one here!! We were cuddled by the team. Price not negligible but not even prohibitive; at the end of the day if you want...quality, you should be ready to pay for it! RecommendedMore
