Restaurant

The starting point of Merilä Manor’s food philosophy is top-quality raw materials, from which delicious food is prepared. Good ingredients are based on freshness, local food and a clean growing environment. The food menus are compiled mainly based on principles from Northern Ostrobothnia, but recipes from Kainuu are also used. Menus for parties and meetings are customized according to the customer’s wishes.

The manor offers meeting services in an atmospheric country milieu in all four seasons. Built in 1811, the main building and extensions have dining rooms for 260 people and meeting rooms for about 285 people.

In addition to larger party spaces, the Manor has six smaller group meeting spaces.

Program services

In connection with the events, program services can be implemented through partners. Also the nearby Oulu River and the porch located on the opposite bank and the nearby trail offer an excellent setting for self-guided camping.
