Our Story
the soul of Lapland to the skies.
Meet Sirly — Founder, Chef & Visionary
I’m Sirly Ylläsjärvi — chef, entrepreneur, and the visionary behind Restaurant Elsa and LUMI Sky Catering.
My journey began with a desire to bring the culinary soul of the North to the world — to create experiences that stay with guests long after the moment has passed, wherever they may be.
With experience in fine dining, media, and international events, my mission is to craft moments that engage all the senses.
Every dish, every detail, and every encounter is created with heart, precision, and genuine Northern warmth.
LUMI is more than a business.
”It’s a calling to share the spirit of Lapland with the world.”
Northern soul, global service
