We had a three course tapas meal with strawberry ice cream for dessert. Our server suggested a bottle of Cava Pere Ventura white wine for us too. First course: 8/10 We were served three servings of small items on our plate. The first was a fish with goat cheese on top. There was definitely some superior dexterity in the preparation of this, as the fish was very precisely and thinly sliced. The second was duck breast. You could taste the distinct duck flavor here. They preserved the wiry, semi-coarse texture here. Probably my favorite of the three. Finally, there was a cup of (sorry I forget the name honestly), but it was kind of a strong, punchy green .. okay yeah it's very hard to describe without the ingredients in mind but it was so distinctive, I still remember the taste weeks later. A lil too strong for me but unique in concept. Second course: 7/10 I had the mackerel of the night. Crispy layer on the outside, pretty juicy on the inside. Good thing about the plate was that the mackerel wasn't too dry, like an average job would do. The zucchini and squash were actually the better part of the plate for me. Delicate layer of oil on top that gave it an extra hint of bouginess. Dessert: 7.5/10 Strawberry ice cream. The fruit itself was fresh and easy to chew (surprisingly hard to do well with frozen ice cream). Killed this cup in a hurry. Was it worth the price? Debatable if you ask me. This was for sure an expensive meal. But, the service was superb, and the place is a fine, indulgent place to dine. Overall, the food was fine, but it wasn't terribly memorable or life-changing to warrant a five star.

We had the organic beef Klitch burger with goat cheese and tapenade, with potato wedges that were fried just right. It was very tasty and filling. Also had the tiger prawn avocado salad, which tasted healthy and good, but was a bit light on dressing flavor. My wife had assorted tapas which she really enjoyed. If you are looking for a quality meal in a relaxed setting, this is a great place to go!

This small bar serves tapas but not quite like I've had elsewhere.

There was about 8-10 choices, the meaty items were immediately put in a microwave under the counter, the salads and veggies were served cold, and some bread was included. The bar / cafe is quite small and informal, the portions of food quite generous, and not expensive. The food choices we had were quite tasty but the random hot / cold serving was unpredictable. One major plus point is that they serve Inedit, a beer designed by Feran Adria of El bulli fame, it's a lovely slightly cloudy beer meant for drinking with food. Hard to come by generally but well worth a try. Eat here for casual dining, and 'you get what you see' food choices.

Very central location walking distance from many hotels and the main train station. As a traveler, I was somewhat surprised by how few "local" or old fashioned Finnish restaurants there are in the city center. Glad to have found this place. Although it is safe to assume that the menu items are not the kind of food that a Finnish grandma would cook for you, the menu does offer many dishes that feature local ingredients. I ordered two tapas/appertizer-sized items featuring salmon, wild boar and reindeer. The food was beautifully presented. The salmon was very fresh and flavourful. The wild boar was tender and not dried. Cured reindeer tasted very good (I wish they were a bit more generous on the reindeer. Only a tiny slice was served with my dish). The restaurant has most of the tables on the second level with big bright windows offering a good view of the busy street.
