Copas Tapas - Helsinki

Not so much traditional tapas but very good food and some great ideas. The wines were amazing.

We had the 3 tapas, fish pheasant for mains and desert. It was good but no really that special. Service was nice, fast and friendly.

It is not exactly a tapas place and there is no menu. The starter was a dish with 3 fishes cold salmon, cold cod and another warm fish with bread. The salmon was good, the cod so and so but the third fish (on the right in the picture) was fantastic, one of the best tastes for me this year. Unfortunately I cant remember its name. The main course was white fish from Lappland which was excellent. The variety of cheese had the french bleu meme, the spanish mahon and the excellent finnish cheese haarisari. Good sweet spanish wine.

I had made a reservation, but not noticed that it was not the same day. When we arrived, they let me know my mistake, but they found me an hour later a table that was great because it was our last night in helsinki. the workers were all wonderful and clearly proud of what they do. we chose a tasting menu with wine pairings and the boss/owner spent a lot of time talking about the dishes and the wine that was really nice. it is a great atmosphere and a rustic space. the owner said they were moving as soon as the building is renovated, but said to see the Facebook page for the new location.

Everything I want in a restaurant. a perfect service and good food. the service staff was really attentive and informative about the courses and the wine served. tapas in the name could be a tad misleading as I had three as starters and then a fantastic venison as head. a visit
