Private Chef Service Details / FAQ
How are dishes and cleaning handled during the dinner? I make the experience completely carefree for you:
- Our tableware: I serve the courses on our elegant presentation plates, which I take with us at the end of the evening. This keeps your villa’s kitchen tidy and ensures you don’t have to worry about extra dishes.
- Villa’s tableware: For the table setting, I utilize the villa’s own wine glasses, and drinking glasses.
- Final kitchen cleaning: I meticulously clean the kitchen countertops and load the used villa tableware into the dishwasher, after which I depart, leaving you in complete privacy to enjoy the rest of your evening.
Are wines or drinks included in the menu price?
Due to Finnish alcohol legislation, I do not sell or provide alcohol; guests are responsible for their own beverage purchases. This is also the most cost-effective approach for you. However, my service always includes a wine consultation to help you choose the perfect pairings.
Do you accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions?
A HIDE 66° dinner is a unified experience designed to be shared. Therefore, as a standard, I serve the same menu to the entire party (One chef. One menu. One private group.).
I can comfortably accommodate the most common allergies (such as lactose-free and gluten-free) and individual dietary restrictions within the scope of the menu, provided they are communicated well in advance of the dinner.
The HIDE 66° culinary philosophy is strongly rooted in Northern fish, game, and wild forest ingredients, meaning I do not offer vegan options. If needed, I can replace a game main course with a vegetarian alternative, but I do not create parallel, full vegetarian menus. Operating as a solo private chef, I am also unable to prepare several entirely different diets for a single group.
If your party has multiple or complex dietary requirements, please reach out before booking so I can confirm whether the menu can be adapted to your needs..
What time do you arrive and how long does the dinner last?
I arrive at your villa approximately one hour before the scheduled dinner time to set up the kitchen and begin preparations.
The duration of the dinner depends on your chosen menu: a 3-course menu typically flows over about two hours, while the 5-course menu is an approximately three-hour experience.
We always pace the evening according to the rhythm of your party.
How are children accommodated?
Children are warmly welcome on this culinary journey! We can provide half-portions of the adult menu, or I can prepare a separate, high-quality, and child-friendly classic dish. We can plan the children’s meals together when you select your menu.
Events & special occasions
Planning a wedding, corporate event, or a large family celebration?
I also create bespoke HIDE 66° experiences for larger events. Whether you are planning a spectacular group dinner or a comprehensive gala, I will design a proposal and pricing tailored specifically to your needs and the unique nature of the occasion.

66˚ North. Your Hideaway.
The name HIDE 66° Arctic Kitchen holds my promise to you and my tribute to the surrounding nature.
66° – The Arctic Border
Kuusamo and Rukatunturi are located near the 66th northern parallel, right on the threshold of the Arctic Circle. This is the border where the rugged beauty of the North, deep darkness, and the midnight sun meet. It defines everything I do. The ingredients – wild game, fish from pristine waters, cloudberries, and spruce shoots – have grown in the unforgiving yet rewarding climate of these coordinates. You can taste it in every dish I make.
HIDE – Absolute Privacy
Your holiday villa is your hideaway from the world. My mission is to protect that peace. I bring a premium Northern dining experience directly to you—without the noise of a restaurant, dress codes, or the eyes of others.
BY ALEKSI H. – Chef & Founder
I am Aleksi, an independent head chef and the founder of HIDE 66°. I handle everything myself, from designing the menus and sourcing ingredients to preparing and serving the dinner. I don’t run a restaurant or a kitchen team. I am a local chef who cooks for a small number of people at a time. When you book HIDE 66°, you always know exactly who designs your food and stands in your kitchen. That is why every evening is deeply personal. One chef. One evening. One private group.
Welcome to the North. Welcome to your hideaway.
