I've been to Amigo a few times and it has never let me down. Their steaks are the best you will find in Helsinki. My favorite is the pepper steak. Also they make their own olive bread, which is soooo good. For dessert I recommend the white chocolate cheese cake, yummy! The place is cozy and the staff is very... More

We went to this restaurant on local tip from a friend. Looking through the menu there were a lot of different dishes to choose from and we somehow all ended up ordering something with chicken.

Amigo is close to Kaivopuisto park and is of one the few spanish restaurants in Helsinki. They serve lunch for under €10 and diiner prices start from €15. But steaks are really awesome. Also try their home baked olive loaf, which they give for all eater for free. Great service too!

This restaurant was recommended by a native who we met on the ferry from Tallinn. It was everything he said it was. Wonderful atmosphere and menu; great steaks.. Prices were fair and service was spot on. Would love to go again.

We were walking around Helsinki near Kaivopuisto and decided to try out Amigo. It's a nice, clean restaurant. The staff was friendly and the steaks were excellent. I personally recommend the steak with gorgonzola sauce. FYI - know going in that you will pay nearly 30 euros per serving which includes a steak and potatoes. We had out three children... More

"Amigon lankku" probably has the best meat in town and I almost ate my tonque with the tequila-cheesecake. All and all a pretty decent place.
