La Puerta Verde

❤️ Date Night

La Puerta Verde takes Spanish tapas and gives them a Nordic twist, with carefully made dishes, good wine and the kind of small-room atmosphere that makes dinner feel like an occasion.

Why go?
This is not really a "grab a few tapas and move on" kind of place. The menu is creative, the portions are designed to be enjoyed slowly and the cooking mixes Spanish ingredients with Nordic ideas. It's small, personal and the sort of restaurant where you actually notice what you're eating.
What to order
Go for the tasting menu if you want the full experience. The menu changes, but expect dishes that can take familiar ingredients in rather unexpected directions. The Nordic Taco, Iberian-inspired dishes and creative tapas are all good examples of what La Puerta Verde is about.
Good to know
It's a small restaurant, so booking ahead is a very good idea. The tasting menu is a popular choice and the kitchen takes its time with the food. In other words, this is not where you go when you're hungry and have somewhere else to be in 45 minutes.
Local fact
La Puerta Verde describes its food as tapas with Nordic vibes and Spanish wines. The concept brings together Spanish ingredients and cooking traditions with Scandinavian influences, creating something that feels distinctly different from the usual tapas bar around the corner.

Verdict
A date night for people who would rather discover what they're eating than order the same three tapas again.
