Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Four members took desserts and main courses according to their own favourite. Everybody liked the taste of dinner. Problem was the service, whole restaurant was full and only one waiter (owner).

Delicious traditional Spanish food in the centre of Helsinki. Friendly service. Wine prices are pretty high which is usual in Finland.
In the first photo there is mussels soup, in the second Valencian paella.

This old school Spanish restarant situated in central helsinki is a true gem. I have been eating here several times since the 1980´s and never got bad food or service.
Especially the meats are delicious. This place really knows what "medium rare" truly means. The atmosphere is cozy and the service is to the point.
LOVE this place.

The restaurant has a pleasant enough atmosphere and decor, though in need of refurbishment. My seat was actually broken. I was also disappointed in the food. The expensive starter of calamari was overcooked , as if refried in the same batter.

Fantastic food, great service and excellent drinks. This place has Spanish feeling and atmosphere. The tapas for starters and paella for main course works very good. Paella from sea food was with 4-5 different sea food.

We were enjoying my girlfriends birthday party here with four people and the service was sublime. From the wine pairings to the meal recommendations and the requests they fulfilled, everything was just perfect and the food itself was great, one of the best I've had.
We enjoyed the tapas plate, Coeur de filet and half of the desert menu. We will be back again!

Recommend this restaurant for its delicious food and service. We found the restaurant through Tripadvisor. However, we really had problems finding the place, so I am enclosing a photo. The food was very good. We had grilled meat and ice cream as a dessert. We got good advice about wine. Friendly and good service.

By no means a cheap place, but it is a classic in Helsinki. Great location, cozy restaurant, great friendly staff!
The food is great, and they have a nice selection of different kinds of foods, but definitely ones of the best steakhouses in Helsinki, even though they do not really identify as one.

The Parrillo Espanola is a Spanish restaurant in the centre of Helsinki City. The interior feels comfortable and the dishes are in accordance to what you expect from good restaurants in Spain. The staff is always friendly, speaks English and provides support where required. The beef I ordered was cooked to the point and the entire food was delicious. The wine offered is excellent and expensive. The missing fifth star goes especially to the price performance ratio: The quality of food is really excellent - and the pricing is a bit overdone.

This restaurant has been in the same place, with the same format, for 40 years. Still going strong! This was the third time I visited there, and again everything was great. Food is so delicious, environment is peaceful, and mediterranean. Wines are great, prices a bit high, but compared to the quality, ok. We recommend to take the full course, tapas', Grilled beef fillet "Parrilla Española", and Creme Cataluna. Only, but very small minus, was too Quick service, waiters should wait a bit, when one portion is finished, eaten up. Anyhow, we recommend this place, very highly. Go and test, if ya want a peaceful place to eat great food, and spend quality time with someone special.

We celebrated a friend’s birthday in this traditional Spanish restaurant that has existed in the same location in Helsinki city for several decades.
It was easy to pick the dishes as the food menu was limited, particularly for vegetarian items. We decided to do meat and shared a tapas plate (25 e for normal size, we had it made bigger for to satisfy 3 hungry people) and some fried shrimps (13e) as starters. The tapas was excellent but the shrimp dish felt a bit plain in comparison. Luckily the bread that came with it was fresh and hearty.
We shared the Cour de filet (69e), recommended for two, between us as the main course. Given the generous starters, there was enough to eat there for us three. The meat was melt-in-the-Mouth tender, cooked just right, served with potatoes and some veg. The dish was excellent.
Service was polite and the waiter very knowledgeable in everything from Spanish meats to wine. We had a great time and will go back for the food!

Randomly ended up here for a dinner. Hidden gem? Maybe not. Food was good but quite regular though. Service was very nice. Would I go again? Maybe, to have nice tapas and something else from Parilla.
