This was totally a serendipitous find as we were on our way to visit the
Suomenlinna island. We marked this restaurant on the way as a dinner option. Good that we did!
The restaurant has a nice decor, and a friendly service. Being hungry, we were happy with the bread, oil and vinegar that got served early on. We immediately ordered, and wanting to taste as much as possible, we decided to share Tapas selection 1 and 2 in their menu with a pitcher of Sangria.
This is what we ended up eating - a very unique, artistic and most importantly tasty selection (prices are in Euros):
TAPAS SELECCIÓN 1
Endivia con queso azul 5,20
Marinated endive served with nuts and blue cheese

Mejilla de ternera 6,30

Comment: Very very soft veal meat, and we did not know beetroot could be that loveable.
Atún blanco 6,50
Lemon marinated tuna served with octopus and asparagus

Comment: Melt-in-your mouth tuna, nicely crisp and non-chewy octopus. A lot could have gone wrong there, but none did.
Mousse de salmón 5,50

Comment: Compared to the rest, this was tasty but not taking the center stage as others.

Comment: We expected fish dishes to be amazing, and they fulfilled our expectations. The ham was also nicely accompanying the rest.

Goat cheese mousse served with strawberries and shoot salad
Comment: We are big fans of goat cheese, and the Finnish love of all berries mixed well with the tanginess of the cheese.

Comment: By far, the best eel we have ever eaten. Loved it so much that, we can eat it everyday.

Our favourite: Anguila
We will definitely come again to Helsinki, which proved to be a food heaven though a bit on the pricey side. Nevertheless, we would still say this restaurant is very good value!
