Good foods & natural wines that don’t put a hole in your wallet :)
A small fusion-style tapas restaurant in Kallio
It all begins with our location, Pengerkatu 9 Helsinki. A 25-seater restaurant is nicely tucked away in Kallio from all the noises. Embracing the hidden location, we want to deliver a nice, cosy neighbourhood restaurant that offers not-too-expensive foods and wines. We want to create a friendly and welcoming ambience for all our customers.
Our food philosophy is very international and we love the fusion concept. We create our tapas dishes using building blocks of different cuisines worldwide and seasonal ingredients from Finland and Europe. We want to turn The Alley into an unconventional playground of flavours
“Season changes, so does our menu”
We focus on seasonal products, so our menu never stays the same.
Things we do best:
-
The foods
We focus on fusion-style tapas with bold flavours, using seasonal products. We create our tapas dishes using building blocks of different cuisines around the world, combined with seasonal ingredients from Finland.
-
The wines
Our winelist changes seasonally with the food menu. We want to offer natural wines at an affordable price. We concentrate on entry-level natural wines from small and local producers in Europe
-
The vibe
Nicely tucked away in Pengerkatu 9, we want to utilise our hidden location to become a neighborhood restaurant. Our interior has a French vintage vibe with a funky and laid-back ambiance
