Villit ja Viinit

Overview

Villit ja Viinit is a cosy, dog-friendly wine bar in Tampere offering an ever-changing selection of original cocktails, wines, Finnish craft beers, and spirits, paired with a small but exceptional menu of freshly prepared dishes cooked right at the bar. The drinks and food lists change once or twice a month, keeping every visit fresh and exciting.

Atmosphere & Dog-Friendliness

100% dog-freindly but not offered water. Warm, intimate, and welcoming, with a casual yet refined feel. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about their craft, creating a relaxed environment where both guests and dogs feel at home.

Food

Despite the small menu—usually around four dishes—the quality and creativity rival that of fine dining. Favourites have included a Finnish cheese plate with homemade bread, butter, and jam; excellent risottos (such as beetroot); lamb tartare; soups; and gnocchi. Portions are generous enough that ordering all four dishes between two people is a satisfying meal.

Drinks

The drinks menu is equally inventive, often featuring three or four original cocktails, a handful of well-selected wines, and Finnish craft beers by the bottle. The cocktails and wines are consistently excellent, with a strong focus on originality and balance.

Summary

An intimate, high-quality yet relaxed dog-friendly wine bar in Tampere that combines restaurant-level cooking with a wine bar’s charm. Great food, creative drinks, passionate staff, and a dog-friendly welcome make it a place worth returning to again and again.
