Its just great to have an authentic tapas bar in Helsinki. There are plenty of others of course, but only a few can accomplish the real atmosphere that makes it easier to forget that you have actually ended up in Helsinki looking for some decent food.
The place looks welcoming, but the finnish staff member makes it very clear that the table should have been reserved and only one table is free for sitting even the whole restaurant is empty on sunday 3 pm. Ok I get it, this place does get packed super quickly, but let's not get ridiculous ok?
We finally get served by some authentic spaniards which lifts the atmoshere quickly. The tapas menus are welcoming and decently priced. In fact you can get a whole menu starting from 15 euro including plenty of variety and well made snackies. The omelette and the bruschettas are all good, but the absolute favourite is the baked onions and the delicious aioli, and the spicy peppery meatloaf. Some point deducted from the mozzarella which should've been the juicy buffalo type of course, no? All the rest is good as well, if only all the customers would be spanish and you wouldn't have to look the desperate finns around this place is as good as it gets. A few glasses of sangria and the crema catalana tops the experience which must be repeated.
This is a good place for spending a night with friends and making new ones as well, but it does get packed quickly after seven pm.
