An Exclusive Christmas Buffet Experience in Andrummet
This year, Camp Ripan invites you to a moody, sustainable, and exclusive Christmas experience in Andrummet, where Kiruna’s three major cultural rivers – the Sami, Tornedalian, and settler Swedish, are woven together in a culinary journey. This evening is for those seeking something beyond the ordinary, where each dish tells a story and our knowledgeable chef and service staff guide you through your experience of both food and drink.
Creative Interpretations
The menu is served as a flowing story, where each dish is a new chapter. Andrummet is set with long tables, perhaps a new acquaintance or business contact may blossom. Like water finding its way through the wilderness, we create creative interpretations of traditional dishes with a subtle taste of Christmas. Each dish is a drop in the larger story of our region and philosophy, where the local, seasonal, and sustainable are at the forefront – paired by our sommelier with carefully selected drinks to enhance your dining experience.
Andrummet
The evening begins with a warming mulled wine and amuse-bouche in our lobby. Once the entire party has gathered, you will be led through the winter night along a torch-lit path to Andrummet, our private dining room for smaller gatherings, where we will spend the rest of the evening.
Atmospheric Ambience
Here, you will be greeted by set tables and the warmth of a crackling fire, candlelight, and a welcoming atmosphere that brings to mind the coziest of homes in Tornedalen. The evening’s chef welcomes you, who together with our knowledgeable service staff will guide you through the night. In addition to our drink packages, a smaller bar is available until 11:00 PM so that your party can stay in the cozy atmosphere we have created until you are ready for the night.
Sustainable Food & Drink
Once seated, the dishes are presented by our staff like rafts on a mighty river. This evening, the wine also plays a central role, where we will discuss its background and why it has been chosen to accompany the dishes served. And as always at Camp Ripan, you can trust that we only serve organic or biodynamic wines from vineyards in Europe with a long-term commitment to sustainability. Our meat is always Swedish and sourced locally as far as possible, the same applies to other ingredients. You can read more about how we prioritize our purchases in our Camp Ripan model, and if you have other questions about our sustainability work, you are warmly welcome to ask them to our chef or service staff during the evening.
