Tapola Blood Sausage Bar
Tapolan Mustamakkarabaari
Tapola's factory-direct bar in Tampere, serving its century-old recipe blood sausage with lingonberry jam. Affordable and authentically local.
Tapola is Tampere's best-known blood sausage brand. Its recipe dates back to the 19th century, when the Mathilda family of Tottijärvi in Nokia first made it, and it has been handed down for more than a century. Many restaurants and market stalls around the city serve Tapola sausages. This factory-direct blood sausage bar sits beside the Lielahti plant and serves freshly hot blood sausage, meatballs and potatoes, with lingonberry jam and milk in the local style. On weekdays it also offers a blood sausage and meatball lunch, and it sells a range of sausages to take away. It is about 5 km northwest of the city centre and can be reached by bus or car. Closed on Sundays.
