Cosy like a tapas bar should be. Very entertaining host who presented well-prepared authentic tapas. I was with a private party and all found it a memorable experience. Only Spanish wines available but they are at a very affordable price by glass or bottle. Highly recommended.

I arrived about 11. 45pm on Friday evening and had no trouble getting good efficient service. I had the Provencal fish & seafood pannu which came with baked potatoes. The meal had plenty of flavour and was not too heavy despite the creamy sauce. Wine choice was a bit limited as they were changing wine menus. I would go again.

Superficially this restaurant looks like it could be a good imitation of a French restaurant, but on a spring Saturday evening, the kitchen closes at 9pm, despite the 11pm restaurant closing time and service is indifferent as the staff prepare for Mother's Day lunch. From a limited menu, I chose the falafel dish. It is a generous portion of falafels and rice, topped up with (I suspect) leftover veges. The wine list offers a selection of reasonably priced wines. Overall I wouldn't recommend.

Small restaurant but enough room not to be disturbed by fellow diners. Spring rolls were fine as was tofu in coconut sauce. Chicken in glass noodles was very good as was the very generously-sized prawns with ginger and chilli. Disappointing that there is no alcohol at all, but there are plenty of bars nearby.

Nice ambience with many tables near long windows. Service was friendly and efficient. I had the Soul in a Bowl which was filling and spicy. The wine list has a reasonably priced range. Selected as Art Goes Kapakka venue which certainly added to the atmosphere.

The famous Sea Horse has a limited budget-priced lunch menu which we opted for. The steak cutlet with thousand island shrimp sauce was a little overcooked, and the sauce a bit heavy, while the fried potatoes were a little soggy. They have a good, reasonably-priced wine-by-the glass selection, and the service was very friendly. I would try again.

The bar was packed in the middle of July when most locals are out-of-town. This may have accounted for only one server, who did very well to cope with the steady flow of customers. We tried 7 dishes, most of which were very good, although would not recommend the goat's cheese. Wine list is very limited, but adequate and reasonably priced.

I arrived 1 hour before closing on a Friday evening but was still warmly welcomed. The restaurant was very quiet, but still the meal was freshly prepared. I had the deep-fried vegetables as a starter - these were a little unimaginative, but the dips were good. I then had lamb tikka which was a generous portion with rice and included a large portion of naan. Nepalese beer is available and worth a try. Staff are friendly and chatty.

Not a restaurant that you would come across strolling the streets, but worth seeking out in Sanomatalo building. Friendly efficient service. Nice concept with the booths, but doesn't stop conversations being shared unintentionally. Pelmenis was first class - decent portion, great flavours. Tartar burger was also good value - swede wedges work well. Wine list disappointing. Good Russian restaurant that is not stuffy!

Homely style local bar with eatery attached seating more than 30. Typical Finnish pizza/pasta/steak cafe-style menu. There are enough choices under 10 euros. I had vegetarian pizza that overlapped the large plate and had good flavour. My friend had the vegetarian platter that came with a generous serve of chips. The wine list is short but reasonable value.
