Amarillo, Rovaniemi — Restaurant in Rovaniemi sub-region

Just before we had to end this mind-blowing vacation, we had another shot at a local restaurant experience but who would have thought that it is nearly impossible to spontaneously get a table at a restaurant serving local food in Rovaniemi around 4pm. They were either not open yet or had a massive wait but we were on a schedule and really hungry. So our second „Finnish Restaurant Experience“ was pretty much Tex-Mex. 😁 Generally, it was not a very special event but we left the place stuffed and that was what we came for. 😅 The food was good - not more and not less. Interesting was their rule on alcohol where you were not allowed to order any after 5pm anymore and at 6pm sharp they remove all alcoholic beverages from the table - no discussion. While this obviously is not a restaurant-specific rule, it was quite interesting when they came round and took all the glass - no matter whether they were empty or not. So I guess we still had a bit of a local...

I liked the food and drink. Bartender is attentive. 4 stars due to waitress staff. They are not attentive. No hostess. After waiting close to 10 minutes to get seated, I walked to the servers station where I watched them gossip with each other the entire time I and a couple behind me were waiting to be acknowledged. A girl finally sat me and the people waiting behind me.

Waitresses would only come to table if I flagged them down or she was bringing food. I can't get past that so I will not eat there again. It wasn't just my table. I saw a guy go up to the server station to ask to pay because he was waiting so long. They were not busy either. My table was beside the servers, they talked to each other a lot. Food did come out warm and was good.

I went on a week...

We might be the first people ever to come to Amarillo, Rovaniemi after being in Amarillo, Texas the week before. Yee haw!

We didn’t expect the Tex Mex here to fully match Texas, but we did expect some portion for the high prices… we were quite disappointed.

We ordered the Revolver for €40–it’s a sampler of their 6 appetizers. We thought we’d get enough food to hold us over. But it was honestly very sparse.

One of the items was boneless chicken—we literally go three small chicken nuggets. Another was chorizo—we got four child-sized bites of sausage.

For the amount of food we got, it should have been €12-15, but instead we paid triple that amount.

To top it off, they charged us €2 for a tiny bit of ketchup. Quite frustrating. We wouldn’t recommend...
