Torero – Steak & Tapas with a Finnish Soul Torero is a Finnish take on Spanish food culture – a restaurant built with heart, where Mediterranean flavors, a sense of community, and relaxed togetherness come naturally. For us, steak and tapas are more than just dishes – they’re a way of life. Our premium steaks are grilled to perfection, and our tapas selection combines Spanish classics with our own Finnish favorites – vibrant, shareable flavors that invite you to linger. Carefully selected wines and handcrafted cocktails complete the experience. But the most important ingredient is always the same: good company and taking the time to enjoy it. Come to Torero when you’re craving a culinary getaway without leaving town. The atmosphere is warm, the food honest and flavorful, and the hospitality heartfelt. ¡BIENVENIDO! p. 010 762 3520 | joensuu.torero@sok.fi Restaurant Manager Sanna Cortés sanna.cortes@sok.fi p. 050 3452509
