Restaurant Malaga Bar - Helsinki

Good food, good service, nice atmosphere. Popular with locals, quite hidden. Don't let the construction around mislead you, that's just what the city part is like currently. Also offers real good lunch.

Price: Price quality ratio ok Quality: really good taste, a bit too small portion in my opinion, during lunch you get extra bread Location: quite hidden, terrace a bit packed during lunch

This was really nice bar restaurant at the corner of apartment building complex. Relaxed and feel good vibe paired with friendly service. Establishment is located at the corner of massive apartment building complex which is habitat by musicians and other performing artists. It's once again a really interesting combination of service rooted towards its users. Restaurant kitchen is open till 9:30 pm and they make pizza-like stuff and meatballs during evening. Daytime lunch is a bit more traditional Finnish food portions and other familiar sounding solid beverages. The bar here is rather interesting. It doesn't seem to have a solid closing hour during weekdays which is rather interesting in country like Finland. Their liquid beverage prices are somewhat average compared to neighborhood. Regular Finnish lager beer was 5 Euros which aren't too expensive. Overall feeling was really positive. It's really cozy and feel good place that doesn't look like a bar at outside but inside reveals an interesting mixture of bar and trendy restaurant cafeteria. I strongly recommend to visit here if you're wandering around this area. It's a great place to meet talented artists of various segments both younger and older age groups.

Bar it self is nicely decorated and cosy. Pizzetta is little bit too small compared to the price of it. Mustard sauce on the pizzetta made it unusual but good if you like a little twist in your pizza. Jallu meetballs had too strong of a game taste in my opinion

My social media is populated with ads of this joint, had to go and test it out. I had meat balls and mashed potatoes, as this seemed to be the signature dish. Quite disappointing experience. Meat balls were very hard on structure, also tasteless, like home cooking went bad. Mash was somewhat ok, also the sauce (nothing remarkable, though).
