Tallinn in 4 days

If you only have 4 days to spend in Tallinn, we’ve narrowed down the top places you should check out to get the best experience of your time here.
Tallinn is the medieval capital city of Estonia. There are plenty of things to see here, not least the city’s 13th century Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site where tall spires rise above narrow cobblestone streets. The town is home to markets, festivals, and many beautiful churches, such as St. Nicholas Church, which has a Baroque interior and a striking blue spire. Tourists can also visit Tallinn’s many museums and art galleries, including the Museum of Occupations.
With favorites like Viru Keskus, Restaurant Manna La Roosa, and Kohtuotsa viewing platform, we’ll make sure you don’t miss out on all the must sees. We even included some of our favorite food spots around the area, like City Grill House and Mon Repos so you can get the best taste of Tallinn while you’re here. To see our full list of food recommendations, check out our best restaurants post. If you're traveling on a budget, you can check out our cheap eats post.

Ülemiste Centre, the largest shopping mall in Estonia, opened its doors on April 1, 2004, and has since become a beloved destination for both locals and visitors in Tallinn. This expansive shopping haven boasts over 230 stores featuring renowned brands alongside delightful eateries and cafes. Families will appreciate the dedicated kids' play area as well as facilities catering to visitors with special needs.
Massive department store, very clean and spacious, so many different shops and places to eat. Just wish there were more signs and directions, it's a maze and very tricky to locate the main entrance/exit.

Great shopping centre! It’s modern, bright, not very spacious, no smells, good gents toilets. Plenty of shop. Numerous fast food places. Kids playgrounds. One could actually live in here, man. People speak Estonian, English and Russian around here, so there is no language barrier for some, multicultural society in its glory.

The Centre has a modern interior, a spacious and Scandinavian feel and it offers a broad selection of quality and well-known goods and services. Entertainment is also well represented at Ulemiste – there are events that capture the interest of the entire family. This large shopping center is also located relatively close to the center. There are plenty of shops there. Plenty of parking space.

Quite large shopping mall, with many different shops: shoes (a lot of different stores!), clothing, accessories. It is a bit outside Tallinn centre, but the tram (same that goes to the airport) takes you here in 15-20 minutes.

New parking rules - 5 hours of FREE parking! The largest shopping center in Estonia, where navigation inside the center is quite difficult and it is quite easy to get lost. Over 230 sales and service stores. It is intended for all visitors, mothers and children, visitors with special needs and families. There is a wardrobe for outerwear and lockers for anything else. Possibility to charge your phone and use trolleys.

Easy to get to mall from just outside the gates at Viru. Tram 4 or bus no 15 takes you there (10 minutes). Plenty of shops ( especially shoe shops, never seen so many ) eateries, cafes, bars, cinema. Lovely clean mall, and not one shop front boarded up.

As the largest shopping mall in Estonia, it offers an impressive array of fashion boutiques showcasing local Estonian designers alongside international brands. Visitors can explore trendy clothing and accessories at popular outlets like Pull & Bear and Mango, while beauty aficionados will delight in discovering skincare treasures at The Body Shop.
Solaris is a modern, well-kept shopping centre in the heart of the city. It’s clean, easy to navigate, and has a good mix of shops, cafes, and entertainment options. Great location, especially if you're exploring nearby cultural spots. Not the biggest mall, but convenient and stylish. I particulary like the groceries store inside
Black D — Google review
Just a short distance from the city center, this trade center offers a cozy atmosphere and a decent food court with affordable options. While it provides a few clothing and shoe stores, they're somewhat limited. Visitors should be aware that there's a small fee of 20 cents for restroom use. Overall, it's a convenient spot for a quick bite and some shopping.

A nice shopping centre with a good selection of shops, including a supermarket. Good place to shelter from the rain. There is a food court, though I did not eat there. The downside is that there are not enough seating areas, and you have to pay to use the toilets. The centre is wheelchair accessible. There are lifts to all floors. There are disabled toilets.

While staying in Kesklinn this shopping centre became our local. For good quality food & choice the supermarket below was excellent. Nice cafes inc Lido & a good cheese store too.
Nick S — Google review
The Solaris is an environmentally friendly shopping centre in the heart of Tallinn. A small shopping mall next to Estonian Drama Theatre. A sparse selection of shops. What was most attractive is a large restaurant Lido on the top floor. Lido is a concept where you can eat both local and Eastern European food, and everything from snacks, main dishes, accessories and desserts. A big supermarket downstairs. The location is central, not far from the Old Town and Viru.

Nice shopping mall with a few great shops (a lot of them are ones I’ve never been to though😭) and 2 movie theatres (why 2??) also has some great restaurants. The sitting places are always taken and the mall is often crowded overall.

A pretty big city mall with half a dozen floors filled with stores. Strangle floor plan, but a pretty good selection of retailers. Clothes, electronics, candy, tea, you name it. The place wasn’t very crowded, but most seating in the open areas were filled with people playing with their phone. Prices are a bit steep. Not sure if this is a place aimed at tourists, but I compared a few things I buy frequently in Sweden, and the prices here were higher. Also, not a lot of local stores. Like in most malls, it’s the big, known brands that take up most of the space. That said, there’s a pretty great bookstore with a coffee shop on the third floor. Nice vibes there.
Robert I — Google review
On a cold and rainy day, this was a great place to stop, to do some window shopping, and to walk around. It’s a quick walk over to the Old Town walls from here. There was also a nice food area where we were able to stop and get a quick bite to eat while the weather cleared up.
Lindsay B — Google review
Right in the heart of Tallinn, next to the old town gates. Super convenient location if you're downtown. It's got pretty much everything you'd expect from a big city mall – tons of shops (clothes, electronics, home stuff, the usual chains), a big supermarket downstairs, and a decent food court upstairs with lots of quick eats. The bus terminal connection is a major plus for getting around or heading to the airport. Solid, practical choice for central shopping or grabbing a bite. Great for basics and people-watching. Don't expect luxury or unique boutiques, but it gets the job done. Worth popping into if you're nearby.

Stayed in Tallinn for 2 nights. The location was great. It was directly connected to the shopping mall and within walking distance to the old town. The rooms are old but well maintained. The beds are not too old, but the view from the rooms is good. The breakfast is delicious and has a wide variety of items. This is a recommended hotel in Tallinn.

A wonderful shopping mall! My wife and kids were thrilled, and when my daughter saw the toy in the photo, she absolutely fell in love with it — something that doesn’t happen very often, but it did here. The mall has a huge variety of stores, plenty of options for the whole family, and a lively atmosphere. Whether you’re a tourist or a local, I highly recommend visiting — you’ll definitely find something you enjoy.

Nature & Parks
Kadriorg Park is a historic city park in Tallinn, Estonia, established in the 18th century and home to the impressive Kadriorg Palace. The park features formal gardens, museums, and monuments. Visitors can explore a wide range of museums within the park, including art museums like Kumu Art Museum and unique ones such as the Estonian Health Museum and Soviet Statue Graveyard.
Kadriorg Park is a true gem in the heart of Tallinn. Beautifully maintained, peaceful, and full of history. The flower gardens are stunning in summer, and the autumn colors are magical. Perfect for a relaxing walk, a romantic date, or a family picnic. The Swan Pond, Japanese Garden, and elegant palace architecture make it feel like a fairy tale. Great place to escape the city noise without ever leaving it. One of my favorite spots in Estonia — always worth a visit!
Stiven D — Google review
It’s a nice park, pretty big in total, even if it’s cut up by a road. A few playgrounds for kids, but they looked a bit worn down. The real downside is that they’ve really kept down the number of trees. They’re very sparsely planted, so you almost always see the surrounding city. Never any sense of being in a small forest. Also not a lot of variety overall. It mostly looks the same across the whole park. Except for a small area where there’s a Japanese inspired garden. I’ve for sure seen nicer parks, but this one is fine for a stroll. Not too crowded, even on a nice Sunday afternoon.

**"Kadriorg Palace and its gardens are an absolute gem in Tallinn. The palace itself is stunning – a beautiful example of baroque architecture, with elegant halls and ornate details that make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Inside, the art collection is well-curated and offers a great glimpse into Estonia’s cultural heritage. The gardens are just as impressive. Perfectly landscaped, with colorful flower beds, fountains, and tree-lined paths, they are a peaceful escape from the city bustle. I visited in summer, and everything was in full bloom – it felt like walking through a living painting. Even if you’re not into art, a stroll through the gardens alone is worth the visit. It’s the kind of place where you can take your time, enjoy a coffee in the nearby café, and simply soak in the beauty. Definitely a must-see when in Tallinn
Maria C — Google review
A must when visiting Tallinn which in turn is a lovely city in a forward looking small country of Estonia. Its people has suffered from Russians for centuries yet they do not give up. The park is beautiful, and the city wall of the old city, are the two of the sights with rich histories.

Kadriorg Art Museum is located in a stunning Baroque palace built by Tsar Peter the Great for his wife Catherine. The museum is dedicated to foreign art and features a permanent collection of around 10,000 works including Dutch, Italian, Russian, and German paintings from the 16th to 20th century. Additionally, visitors can explore special exhibitions and admire sculpture, graphic art, furniture, porcelain, and glass.
Cool palace with nice cafe. We got lucky with the sunny weather when we went there. The palace entry fee is quite hefty however and there isn't too much to see inside for that price. I would recommend just sticking to the outside as well as the surrounding gardens which are all free.

Would definitely recommend everyone to go there. It’s like a heaven inside the city. Both the park and the museum are incredibly beautiful. Most of the museum was closed as of August due to a new installation coming up. The halls, paintings, rooms all depict the gothic style. The sculpture room which can be easily missed has some really important sculptures and if you have time you can listen and learn about their historic background.

Wonderful little chalet with an impressive art exhibition. We were there at the special exhibition about flowers in art, and the paintings were stunning. Lots of Breughels, and dozens of other paintings from old Dutch masters. They also have a very interesting "Wunderkammer", with all kinds of curiosities, like the skeleton of a mermaid, or a two-headed chicken. Also, the architecture of the building itself is quite beautiful, inside and outside. There also is a courtyard in the back, where in summer lots and lots of flowers will bloom. And in front of the chalet, there is an extensive park.

1 | The museum is housed in the Baroque Kadriorg Palace, which was built in the early 18th century by the Russian Tsar Peter I for his wife Catherine I. The museum specializes in European and Russian art from the 16th to the early 20th century, featuring foreign collections that have no equivalent elsewhere in Estonia. 2 | The adjacent garden and park are worth visiting even if you’re not interested in paintings or don’t plan to go inside. The garden in particular is truly beautiful and deserves great admiration. Entrance to it is free. 3 | The museum ticket costs €15 (October 2025), and you can pay by card.

This is one of the best art museums I have visited. There was a lot of good artwork, and the pieces were very well displayed. The building itself is beautiful, so even if I had not enjoyed the art, I would have enjoyed the decoration of the rooms. You must leave bags in the lockers. These are free to use. There is a small cafe. There are toilets. These were in a clean condition. There was a small souvenir shop. My only complaint is that when purchasing one of the beautiful cards, I was not provided with an envelope to go with it. I did query this and was told they do not have any to fit the card, so now I have a card I cannot post. The cashier was also rude. You have to buy tickets to enter. There is a ticket desk or a machine in the main entrance. The last Wednesday of each month has a reduced ticket price. You get free entry with a Tallinn Card. There is partial access for people who use a wheelchair. There is a lift, and portable ramps are used for some steps. The Russian art collection on the third floor is not accessible. There are accessible toilets There were tactile plans in the museum.

Service is great, Ingrid was nice, kind and pleasant. The space is beautiful, but the food…. It’s just ok. It’s far from being great, it’s just ok. We ordered a ribeye steak and the octopus dish. Be aware this is more like a fine dining, meaning it’s well presented, but a small portion. So a side dish would be nice, depending on how hungry you are.

Outstanding Service from Ingrid – Truly Exceptional! From the moment I interacted with Ingrid, I was blown away by her professionalism, warmth, and genuine care. She delivers the kind of customer service that’s rare to find these days – thoughtful, attentive, and completely dedicated to ensuring everything runs smoothly. Ingrid went above and beyond to help me, offering insightful recommendations that were not only helpful but clearly tailored to my needs. She took the time to listen, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. Her politeness and calm demeanor made the entire experience feel effortless and enjoyable. You can tell she truly cares about people, not just transactions. Her kindness is matched by her knowledge and efficiency – a perfect combination. If every business had someone like Ingrid, the world would be a much better place. I can’t recommend her highly enough – thank you, Ingrid, for setting the gold standard in customer service!

Tried City Grill House and overall had a pleasant experience. The tacos were definitely the highlight – full of flavor and really well done. The beef burger, on the other hand, was a bit underwhelming – nothing bad, just fairly average. The atmosphere was decent but didn’t particularly stand out. Still, the service was friendly and the food hit the mark enough for a solid 4-star experience. Would return, especially for the tacos!

Mon Repos is a renowned restaurant in Estonia that has been featured in the Michelin Guide 2023. The country's culinary scene offers a diverse range of quality establishments, and Mon Repos stands out as a must-visit destination for food enthusiasts. With its talented chefs blending classic Estonian and international cuisines, the restaurant invites guests to savor delicious delights while taking a genuine break.
The restaurant has a very pleasant atmosphere. The food, in general, was quite good. However, for a Michelin Guide restaurant, I would expect more consistent quality. While some dishes were close to excellent, others were merely good and lacked a standout quality. For instance, the variation of Vitello tonnato was overly salty. The Sablefish, on the other hand, was better than expected. The service, however, was outstanding. The staff was incredibly welcoming, attentive to detail, and maintained a polite demeanor throughout the dining experience.

One of the best dining experiences we had during our 5 weeks travel. Staff were amazing since we walked in. She was friendly and very efficient. We came across the venue after a museum visit nearby. We were lucky able to walks in. Food was excellent. The starter popcorn prawns especially the sauce was fresh and tasty. My duck was tender with a creamy truffle potato mash and berry juice. I loved the potato. No wonder they received a Michelin which is well deserved. Overall we enjoyed our dining here and a nice way to celebrate my birthday. Thank you! ☺️

We’ve been occasional visitors of this restaurant for years. In the past, it consistently offered premium food at a reasonable price—higher than average, but worth it—paired with top-notch quality every time. Unfortunately, recently, it’s become hit or miss. The restaurant still has a wonderful atmosphere and exceptional service, but the consistency in the kitchen has declined. During our latest visit, everything was excellent except for the duck, which was overcooked. However, the prawns and everything else on the duck plate were still delicious. In my opinion, given the recent inconsistency, it’s no longer worth the price.

Restaurant
Restaurant Manna La Roosa is a unique cocktail bar and restaurant located in an old wooden house near the Viru Gates. The building, dating back to 1872, has a fascinating history, having served as a Russian Market and later as a pharmacy run by a Sicilian lady selling natural remedies. The bar is named after her. The interior is an eclectic mix of Russian orthodox iconography, street art, anarchist posters, fake flowers, Indian wall hangings, and vintage glamour photos.

We had the Tenderloin Steak, and the accompanying cherry sauce was a unique twist we had never experienced before and was lovely. It is an absolutely beautiful place inside and out. If we ever return to Tallinn, we will be sure to return here again.

I have to say that this restaurant has one of the best interiors in Tallinn. All tables and chairs are different. Each room has each own vibe. Food tase would not leave you unsatisfied either. However I had Butter Chicken and as for a grown man the portion was definitely a bit too small. I didn't try the cocktails, but they looked pretty much tempting. Have to come back one day. Come here if you're looking for a great experience.

Excellent place to drink or eat! The staff has been absolutely great, the location is easy to reach and see and the interior is a real work of art, period! Food quality is very nice, good quantity, pricing is reasonable and in line with the area - maybe a little less than the overcrowded touristic places around! Definitely, definitely, definitely worth a visit!

Atmosphere is incredible! Loved it a lot! Food was even better than atmosphere. Totally recommend to try Gourmet Platter. That's definitely that rare moment when it's not only delicious but also interesting. Thank you so much!

Most cocktails are overpriced and have LOTS of ice. Passion Martini was good though. Music was average both times I’ve been here. Interior design is great! Overall vibe can be described as “desperate” (after 10PM experience). Service was at standard Estonian level. Extremely overrated place.

Cru is a trendy, yet historic restaurant in Tallinn’s Old Town. The menu features both traditional and contemporary dishes from Estonia and France. The building that houses the restaurant dates back to the 1500s, and provides a genuine medieval atmosphere.
Amazing setting for dinner in the historic Cru building. Definitely book to ensure you get a table through the easy to use website. We were greeted by the welcoming and friendly staff. Our visit was on the 26th of December, which is a bank holiday. The reduced menu had ample choice. Our food was served at our own pace, which gave us time to enjoy the experience. The food was to a high standard and very tasty. Thank you to all the team for the efficient and friendly service they provide 🙏

Popped in for a plate of mushroom ravioli. The staff were very pleasant and the service was fast. The ravioli tasted very good but came cold (hence the rating of 3). Unfortunately I was leaving for the airport otherwise I would have returned the dish.

I had seen the menu in my hotel room and wanted to try the carbonara pasta. That was not on the menu we received (see pics). They were able to make the carbonara anyway 🙂 Service was very friendly and welcoming Atmosphere is lovely, especially the outside area with beautiful flowers (but not ideal for people watching) I was a little underwhelmed by the pasta but my son liked it more than I did. I thought it could have used maybe more Parmesan and pepper?

The atmosphere was absolutely lovely. We started with the bruschetta which was amazing, followed by the tiger prawn pasta paired with a glass of Riesling - a truly sensational meal. We hadn’t booked in advance but the staff were kind enough to fit us in, which made the whole experience even better.

Visited Osteria Il Cru and was absolutely delighted! The carpaccio was simply excellent — fresh and tender, and the frutti di mare pasta was perfectly cooked, full of rich seafood flavor.

Day 2

Northeast side of town
For day 2, we recommend exploring the northeast side side of town. Start the day off with Balti Jaama Turg, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to Tallinn Town Hall. All together, your day would be filled with about 8 hours of non-stop fun.

Flea market
Balti Jaama Turg, located in Tallinn's trendy Telliskivi district, is a renovated market hall spread across three levels. Since its reopening in 2017, the market has shed its previous reputation and now offers a wide array of goods including fresh produce, clothing, antiques, and local delicacies. Visitors can explore the largest farmers market in the city and sample seasonal delights such as strawberries during July.
Great market with 3 floors. Top floor is clothing, vintage and non-food stuff. 2nd floor is produce, deli, meats, cheese, fish and honeys and 1st floor is a grocery store, pharmacy, chocolate shop and a few other random shops. Each floor is great and contains a few shops that sell "this and that". Great experience. Highly recommend!

Do visit if you want to have some local experience at Tallinn. There are a lot of fresh fruits available. There are separate markets for fish and meat. It’s near to old town as well. You can reach by walk too. There are a lot of options to eat as well.
Deepsikha M — Google review
A place you really shouldn’t miss in Tallinn! This market absolutely belongs on every visitor’s to-do list. The ground floor is lined with many food stalls. The variety is big, the prices surprisingly affordable, and the aromas alone will make you want to try a bit of everything. Whether you’re in the mood for a quick snack or a little food adventure, there’s something for everyone here. But the real gem awaits upstairs: The second floor is a true paradise for anyone who loves second-hand treasures or flea market vibes. From colorful vintage clothes and old vinyl records to retro furniture and quirky curiosities m, you’ll find just about anything you can imagine. That’s what makes it so much fun to explore. If you’re searching for a special souvenir to bring home from Tallinn, you’ll definitely discover it here. Hidden among the stalls is always a little treasure waiting to be found. A lively, atmospheric market full of surprises, I can highly recommended!

Huge modern, clean, fascinating building that seems to have a perfect balance of everything and plenty to do 😍 Traditional antique stores jam-packed with so much history it feels like walking in museums ; well-organised vintage clothing stores, I bought some bargain clothing from Basaar; lovely market stalls displaying brightly-coloured fresh fruits, meats and many other groceries ; food stands offering all kinds of options, from local to foreign flavours etc. Thought I'd just drop by for a quick look, ended up spending 3 happy hours on a Sunday afternoon, definitely visit!!! 😚

The Patkuli Viewing Platform in Tallinn offers breathtaking views of the city's Old Town and is a popular spot for photographers. While Kohtuotsa provides panoramic views to central Tallinn, Patkuli faces north towards the city harbor and St. Olafs Church, making it a must-see attraction. Visitors can also enjoy stunning sunsets during warm summer nights from this vantage point.
Absolutely amazing vistas! Built in 1903, the Patkuli Viewing Platform stands 50 meters/164 feet above sea level, offering stunning views of the Old Town, both day and night. Its 157-step stairway provides a direct connection to the city below.

Great place to watch the sunset, but due its location the colours of the sky won't appear behind the towers (or just moderately). But also worth visiting any time not just for sunset, it gives you a great overview of the wall and towers:)

Kohtuotsa viewing platform is a popular outdoor spot that provides stunning views of Tallinn's Old Town, including its iconic red roofs. Situated near St. Mary's Cathedral, the platform offers panoramic vistas of the medieval towers and spires that characterize the city's historic center. Visitors can also enjoy a seasonal cafe and various events at this picturesque location. With its scenic backdrop, Kohtuotsa is an ideal place for capturing memorable photos of Estonia's capital city.
I visited on a snowy morning in February. Despite the cold, I really enjoyed the serene and beautiful atmosphere of this historic town. The viewpoint here is especially worth a visit. It's amazing that such a charming place is just a few hours away from Helsinki by ferry — I highly recommend adding it to your itinerary.

Sacred & Religious Sites
The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is an impressive orthodox landmark located on Toompea Hill in Tallinn, Estonia. Built at the end of the 19th century in a flamboyant Russian style, it was funded by public donations. Despite past controversy due to its association with Russian occupation, the cathedral has been restored and holds a special place in the hearts of the city's residents since Estonia regained independence in 1991.
This building is a stunning example of Russian architecture in Estonia. It stands out against the skyline. The insides are nicely decorated, though not as elaborately as the exterior. It is free to visit. There is a well stocked religious shop inside the building. There are some cobbles in the area, but on the whole, the cathederal is accessible to people who use a wheelchair. Ramps are used to aid with access.

Town Hall Square is a historic square in Tallinn, dating back to the 15th century. It is a vibrant hub hosting markets, concerts, and the annual Christmas tree festivities. The well-preserved medieval square is surrounded by charming independent shops and outdoor cafes, making it a perfect spot for open-air concerts and festivals such as Old Town Days.
Town Hall Square (Raekoja plats). Total heart of the Old Town. Cobblestones, colorful medieval merchant houses, the giant Gothic Town Hall itself it's pure storybook stuff, especially in winter with the massive Christmas market and tree. Perfect for people-watching from a cafe terrace (though drinks are pricey). Gets packed with tourists midday and in summer – can feel a bit like a theme park. Worth braving the crowds though. The atmosphere is unique, especially early morning or late evening when it's quieter. Look for the dragon waterspouts on the Town Hall and the weathervane Old Thomas. Essential visit. Pure medieval charm is undeniable. Grab a coffee, soak it in, imagine the centuries of history. Just expect crowds and tourist prices at the cafes. Don't miss it, but maybe avoid peak hours.

Tallinn Town Hall is a Gothic building located in the center square of the medieval Old Town. It has a rich history dating back to the 13th century and offers concerts and tours for visitors. The area surrounding the town hall is filled with narrow streets and various historical landmarks, such as the Old Thomas weather vane atop the building since 1530.
Visited with hubby and teenage daughter. Spent longer in there than we thought we would. Found it interesting but we're history nerds. Others, probably nipped round quicker. Good view across old town square from top floor. Didn't climb the tower - too many stairs!

The Tallinn town hall is your typical museum setup. Info about the old town since the 1300s. Not much to say about that. The tower was pretty cool though. Got to go up to the bell and see the city from there. Not sure if the €20 was worth it.

A top stop! Lovely preserved old building with cool stuff and good descriptions in English. Plenty to see, it’s not just a reading experience. The floor just under the roof is super cool. If you’re up to it, climb the tower for a unique view. Note the climb is very steep, can be very crowded and may have a long.
Cynthia C — Google review
Most people only talk about the Tallinn Town Hall for its beautiful building, but there is so much more to it. Can you imagine that it has a museum inside? I didn’t know until I went there. I like the museum because it talks about a special street, the “Pikk Street”, in Danish this would translate to “dick street”. Good thing Estonia isn’t Danish anymore. But funnily enough this reminded me of all the Dicks Streets back in Luxembourg. A strangely comforting thought. There are many places to sit down in the museum, which is a criteria I always use to rate the visitability of a museum. Especially because I have a friend who loves to sit down. The more my friends can sit, the happier I am. We also found out about the Estonian fascination with weather vanes. They’re not just regular weather vanes, they are enormous. You can really not miss them on top of churches or in this case inside the museum. Now coming back to the start, people may admire the view of the building but from the museum you have a beautiful view onto the city. It really is a must visit.
Baptiste J — Google review
This old town feels like stepping straight into a fairy tale – except instead of a dragon, you’re most likely to bump into a tourist wielding a selfie stick. Narrow cobblestone streets twist between colorful medieval buildings, and no matter which way you go, the town hall finds a way to peek at you from somewhere – like it’s playing hide and seek, and always winning. The atmosphere takes care of itself. While you're sipping coffee or nibbling on a local pastry, a horse-drawn cart might gently roll by, and someone in medieval costume could pop around the corner. For the tourists? For fun? Or maybe just a lost time traveler. Who’s to say. Town hall itself is a Gothic masterpiece from the 14th century, and it still holds court with pride. If Tallinn does one thing exceptionally well, it's blending history with charm. And if you find yourself taking photos of the same tower from every imaginable angle… trust me, you’re not alone. This place does that to people.

Tallinn Town Hall has its own museum inside dedicated to both the building’s past and the city’s. It was interesting to learn that there were writings about the Town Hall from 1200s. Entrance fee is 20 euros but free if you have a Tallinn city card.

Tallinn Town Hall is a stunning landmark that perfectly captures the spirit of the Old Town. The Gothic architecture, intricate details, and panoramic views from the tower make it well worth a visit.

It takes about an hour to look round the town hall. The tapestries and carvings are nice, I was lucky in that one of the employees who works in the museum was happy to answer questions about the exhibts. The attic has lots of information boards explaining how the town hall was restored. The cellar contains an older version of the weather vane 'Old Thomas' but there is no explanation as to who he was. Would not recommend to a family with children.

III Draakon, a medieval theme bar located in the historic Town Hall of Tallinn, offers an elaborate theatrical experience. The dark candlelit stone wall cellar is staffed by waitresses in medieval costume who serve tankards of ale and traditional Estonian schnapps along with elk soup, pies, and jerky. Guests can even fish for pickled gherkins from a large barrel.
That was amazing experience. Counter is a humorous and interested woman. Order is wonderful tour if you don’t know which you want to eat, and even when you chose your food already, getting pickle is totally adventure for me.

I give 5 stars for the atmosphere and the team members there are in the character of a middle age tavern. I tried the cabbage pastry, it's amazing, some other customers loved the elk soup, but I found it a bit salty, overall still 5 stars for the experience. If you are not too keen on the food, I guess you can just order a beer to soak in the atmosphere.

Tucked away in the heart of Tallinn’s Old Town, III Draagon is a truly unique dining experience that takes you back to the Middle Ages. The moment you step inside, you’re transported into a medieval tavern — dimly lit rooms, rustic wooden tables, and servers dressed in authentic medieval costumes. The atmosphere feels both cozy and mysterious, as if you’ve stepped into a different century. The restaurant offers a small but memorable menu. One of the highlights is their bone soup, a rich and flavorful broth filled with lentils, carrots, and pieces of bone marrow. It’s not only delicious but also fun to eat — or rather, drink — since it’s served in a clay bowl without a spoon, so you sip it directly, just like in the old days. The portion is generous, and for just 5 euros, it’s an excellent value. To accompany your meal, you can enjoy a pint of beer for 7 euros, along with freshly baked bread. There are two cozy rooms inside, each with 4–5 tables, and four outdoor tables that can seat around 20 people. The ambiance is peaceful, especially in the evening when the lights are low. The tavern also provides separate restrooms for men and women; they’re free for guests, but there’s a small fee (€1) for outsiders. Payments can be made in cash or by card. Overall, III Draagon is a must-visit for tourists seeking an authentic and entertaining medieval experience in Tallinn. It’s not just a meal — it’s a journey through time.
Anton N — Google review
The restaurant is small, decorated in a nice medieval style, in the main square of the town. You must know that entering the restaurant you are going to roleplay a tiny bit of medieval life, being in a tavern after a long trip on your horse. The lady plays a very good role, speaks perfect english, and feels like she is a maid of another era, kudos to her. The ox rib is amazing: soft meat on a big bone. If you love meat, take that and it will be enough as a meal. The ambiet is really nice: dim lights with real candles. You can even catch your own pickle from a barrel by stabbing it with a wooden stick, pretty fun! Whoever does not understand the roleplay should not post bad reviews. The waitress is not rude, she is playing a role, and very fun to talk with if you roleplay back! The medieval style is all around the city, many other vendors dress like old fashion times.

Amazing, authentic place – right in the heart of the old town! Everything is arranged in such an original way – the dishes, the waitresses, everything! The food is delicious, and you eat without any cutlery! You even have to bring your dishes back yourself. A really fun part – you get to fish out your own pickled cucumber from a barrel! In short, 10 out of 10 for the experience!

We visited III Draakon while exploring Tallinn’s Old Town and it honestly felt like stepping back in time. The little tavern is cosy and atmospheric with flickering candles, wooden mugs and staff dressed in medieval style. We ordered the famous elk soup which was hearty and full of flavour, just perfect for a cool day. We also tried the Ox sausages and the Ox rib steak and both were delicious. Since I do not eat pork I asked about the ingredients and the staff kindly checked everything for me to make sure it was suitable. Their attentiveness really made me feel welcome. Overall it was a memorable stop with authentic Estonian flavours at a very reasonable price. I would recommend III Draakon to anyone visiting Tallinn who wants to try something traditional in a unique setting.

I got drawn on because it’s a very old building. Interesting interior, but it’s a tourist trap after all. I paid 11€ for a pastry and a watery soup with a small piece of dried elk. It’s quite small and dark inside and the sales women in a costume is trying to make you order more and also requests tips on top. Food wasn’t amazing, dark and small inside and you are supposed to buy expensive food items that shouldn’t cost that much

The creative mind behind this culinary gem is head chef Mihkel Rand, who honed his skills at NOA Chef's Hall before being inspired to delve into the world of baos.
I visited Baojaam yesterday. The Bao buns were very, very good. I had the octopus one because I haven't tried it yet. 🐙🦑 It didn't disappoint. Next time I'll try the autumn roll one, which is also new. Lately I've seen the same waitress there all the time, a very friendly and smiley girl with blonde long hair. I like how she shouts out names in a loud and clear voice. Then you don't have to worry about missing your order. 😉 Good food and good service. I recommend everyone to go there! 👌

Went with the shrimp and pork buns with Parmesan fries, but was left a bit underwhelmed. Maybe my expectations were a bit high, but these were a bit bland and could of used a shot or two of umami. On the other hand, the fries were really nice with ample doses of Parmesan cheese.

Very Nice buns and good taste overall. Also price is very reasonable for the two buns 😊
Jimmy R — Google review
Among the options inside the market the bao was the most appealing to me. The bao itself was good, not superb though. We ordered two fillings and the spiciest one was the best. The order took a bit longer than expected and the price is fair. Try to find a table as soon as you get there, as the place can get packed and you might need to eat standing.

Lovelly little place inside renovated old market hall. I had BBQ pulled pork and my wife had Vegan Portobello. Both were very delicious and generous in portions.

Amazing place to buy some baos and take a market round. Fantastic bao dough. The bbk pork is good. Great to share for 2. French fries so (maybe too much) crunchy. Cesar salad with amazing spicy crunchy chiken is a really good option.
Fummetsvan — Google review
Baos are tasty, but they are rather small for their price in my opinion. It's good as a snack before heading on a train, but if you need something more fulfilling as a proper meal then there are many better options nearby. Service was very friendly, I have no idea why other reviewers have said otherwise.

1 order was mostly filling and delicious, but a bit expensive, but that's expected of a food court. Took a bit long compared to other stalls, but still speedy. Busy for a Thursday early afternoon

Restoran Olde Hansa

$$$$expensive
Restaurant
Restoran Olde Hansa in Tallinn offers a unique dining experience that takes visitors back to the medieval era. The restaurant's ambiance is set with candlelit tables, tapestry-filled walls, and live traditional music played on instruments like loots. The menu features Baltic delicacies such as sauerkraut and game sausages made from bear, wild boar, and elk.
First of all - come hungry. No, seriously, skip lunch. And maybe even breakfast. We had the feast for 2 and those three courses were more than enough food - and my wife and I are hearty eaters. The quality of the food was excellent - and we can tell, because one of our hobbies is medieval role play and so we've had many expertly prepared feasts in the last 20 or so years. But be warned - they used different spices in medieval times and while many dishes may look familiar, the taste can be special. But for us, everything was just delicious. The service was great, too. It started by a servant washing our hands and every piece of the meal was later explained in great detail. You can also order as much of everything as you want, if you run out of something (which happens to us with the wonderful dark bread ...). The atmosphere is very cozy - the only light sources are candles on the tables. It can be tricky to read the menu (to decide which beer or wine to have), because the room is only very dimly lit. The whole experience is not cheap - feast for 2 people, with drinks and tip was 160 Euro. But it was worth every cent.

Definitely a wonderful experience, but do not count on the food as a meal for the day especially if your from the Arab region. We ordered the deer dish to share just to be cautious and we never finished it! I recommend coming in just for the experience and maybe try something out of curiosity but don’t count on the food flavors too much. The bathrooms were absolutely terrible and overall I believe the place could be maintained better than its current status (unless its part of the intended atmosphere) The staff were the highlight of the experience, they are so into character with their gestures, language, and overall spirit. Would not come back again but would recommend visiting at least once.

Even though this looks like a textbook tourist trap, and the dishes are rather expensive, this was an overall good experience for me. The restaurant looks interesting, and the waiter was pleasent and quick. I ordered a meat tasting plate (as it was one of the rare cheaper options), and was surprised at how tasty it was. I really enjoyed it. The downside is that if you are very hungry and also short on money, this place is better to be avoided as the full course for lunch would cost a fortune.

This is my dream restaurant. It's fully lit by candles and has a medieval theme. It's super spacious - 3 levels. Attention to detail is well appreciated. The bathrooms especially! At first I couldn't find the toilet paper and soap! 🤣 Yes it's slightly pricey but worth it in my opinion. Staff are incredible ! After all, this is a whole experience in itself. Best birthday feast ever.

This restaurant offers a delightful setting reminiscent of bygone eras, and the cuisine similarly reflects traditional practices. While the food may present a different flavor profile than what we, as Asians, are typically accustomed to, it is not necessarily a negative reflection, simply a distinct experience. The true highlights are undoubtedly the restaurant's ambiance and the staff, who are elegantly attired in traditional clothing.

An unforgettable, immersive medieval dining experience! The moment you enter, the middle-age atmosphere is palpable and truly impressive. It's not just the decorations; the food taste also contributes significantly to the feeling. I highly recommend the tender deer fillet, the distinct honey beer, and the hearty dark bread. Although the cuisine isn't Michelin-level perfection, it absolutely nails the authenticity of the medieval theme. The service was phenomenal. Waiters and waitresses in traditional clothes were always helpful, patiently introducing the menu, and making personalized recommendations as if they were dining with you. P.S. A special shout-out to the unique design of the men's room—worth a peek! 🤣

Went for dinner and was not disappointed! Absolutely fantastic environment with staff dressed and speaking periodically correct. There was also a live band playing original instruments and music. Food was delicious too. Dinner and a drink cost €60 but was well worth it. I highly recommend it.

The main thing about this restaurant is the old world charm. They have created a great experience with retaining the decor, the food to follow and good service. However, since Tallin is mainly catering to tourists, this was the only place during our trip to Finland-Tallin, the server asked us for a tip. Food is overpriced for sure, but I suppose if you are looking to experience something different and eat some unique meat like deer and bear, this is the place to visit

Peet Ruut is a charming eatery that captures the essence of cozy dining with its inviting street-side tables and a beautifully lit courtyard. Inside, the spacious two-story dining area offers a warm atmosphere perfect for enjoying meals inspired by global flavors, all crafted from locally sourced ingredients. While some dishes may not hit the mark, there are standout options like crispy deep-fried eggplant paired with hoisin sauce and smoked trout served alongside potato salad and brown butter.
It exceeded my expectations. Very balanced and interesting, unexpected flavors. Every dish had a very satisfying quirk. Although, chicken and tagliatelle were a little bit too salty. Also, the dishes were filling and not small. Very nice staff. I would like to come again to try some other stuff from the menu.

Fantastic little restaurant close to the old town square. Opens at 18:00 - right in time for a late dinner. Booked a table - just in case - easily done on their website. Very kind and attentive staff, explaining each dish and advising if needed. The food was spectacular - the crispy organic chicken - simply to die for. I do not exaggerate when I say it was the best chicken i ever ate. The meat was fresh, moist and cooked to perfection. The cucumber + mint bedding was fantastic as well. Overall a great composition. As sides we had truffle potatoes and broccolinis. And for dessert - the mergangue - which was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside topped with berry sauce, pistachio sauce and pumpkin seeds. Amazing combination. We also had the amaretto parfait - which disappeared from the plate in no time. Definitely a place worth recommending. Chapeau bas to the kitchen staff and the waitresses!

Loved everything about my little lunch here. I say little, because the portion to price ratio is my only concern, otherwise I could have eaten three grilled mushroom with tamarind sauce skewers - it was that good. But since they were $12 euros a piece, I settled on one, added a Ceasar salad, and left happy.

Nice looking place with very friendly service and good selection of different kinds foods to taste. The problem unfortunately was that the offerings were so varied in quality that some of us won in the lottery and some lost. Let's go over the food in detail. The herring appetizer had so much crispy batter on top that I could not taste the herring from underneath, which was real shame. At this price I want something else than batter, even though the batter was delicious. The mushroom appetizer had nice and complex flavours, but was overly spicy, if you don't have any tolerance to chilies you'll suffer. Tartar was oddly served without egg, which did not get rave reviews from our table. Sides were the best part of this place and they really shined. Bread had a deep and sugary flavour with excellent home made butter. Corn ribs were tasty and new potatoes were plenty and the herby oil they were served with was perfect addition. The shashlik main was delicious, but very, very small for the price. Chicken was huge and had very good garnishes and was clearly the best deal of them all. Steak was a disappointment, they prepared it wrong and the taste was not up to the price at all. Fish had excellent flavour and nice textures and there was enough of it to justify the price. The waiter listened to our feedback very graciously and was sorry about all the stuff and offered to replace the steak. So were happy that they took the feedback seriously and the atmosphere was good. I hope they can improve based on this! They had some really good hits here, but sadly the missed and inconsisteny lowered the score.

For day 3, if you don’t mind the extra trek, today covers more off the beaten path places like Lennusadam. Not quite as popular as Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, but still highly rated among many travelers. Accounting for getting around and average time spent, today’s activities could take about 7 hours.

Museums
Specialty Museums
Lennusadam, also known as the Seaplane Harbour Museum, is a maritime museum housed in a 16th-century tower and a remarkable hangar built under Peter the Great. It boasts a submarine and a sunken ship from the 1560s. The museum offers an immersive journey through maritime history with over 200 authentic items, interactive activities, simulators, and a big aquarium. It is considered one of Europe's biggest maritime museums and is popular among history enthusiasts.
One of the best museums I’ve ever visited! Definitely worth checking out, especially with kids. It’s full of informative and interactive exhibits related to maritime history. There’s a real submarine you can enter and explore in detail. You’ll also find various ships, sails, maps, cannons, and seaplanes. Two seaplanes let you sit inside and try a basic but fun flight simulation. There’s also a remote-control boat activity where you can steer small ships, and a computer game where you rescue someone at sea. A small submarine theater shows a lovely cartoon about the importance of sea life and keeping the Baltic Sea clean. Kids can try rope climbing up a mast (extra fee) and enjoy a small playground. There’s so much to see and do—highly recommended! 😄

The Lennusadam Seaplane Harbour has an impressive building and some fascinating exhibits, especially the submarine and historic boats. The interactive displays and children’s play areas are fun and the location by the water is beautiful. I would say, It’s worth a visit if you’re interested in maritime history, otherwise skip it.

This is a fantastic museum, I only really wanted to go for the sake of going inside submarine. However, it turned out to be so much fun. It's very interactive, lots of exhibits for you to play around with. You can go in a flight simulator, drive toy boats, climb netting from a ship mast & much more. Out the back, there's also boats you can see/go on with your ticket. Be careful trying to climb inside the submarine though, it's not an easy feat 😂. This museum is included in the Tallin card which I highly recommend you buy.

Simply put one of the best museums I’ve been to. It’s like no expense was spared when building this place. They have a beautiful building which houses a huge submarine that you can fully explore. They have lots of interactive exhibits including a flight and boating simulators. And outside there were at least four boats or small ships you could go on. I would highly recommend vista if museum if in Tallinn.

Wonderful naval museum! They have an original mine laying submarine from the 1930s as the centerpiece; also a very interesting section about the Estonian Navy; plus the remains of an medieval boat; plus a large section about sea mines; plus so much more. And they have lots and lots of activities for kids, like two bi-plane simulators, some boat simulations, a harborbwhere you can steer your own ship .., it is just a marvellous place if you are interested in maritime things. And there also is a very nice café on a terrace overlooking the museum. A clear highlight of any visit to Tallinn! There is ample parking space around the museum, but you have to pay with the Snabb-App, since the parking is managed by this company. And beware - they are diligently checking, if you have paid ...

Superb museum. This is how items should be displayed in a 21st century museum. Fantastic lighting, interactive displays and interesting artifacts. No dusty cabinets here. Highly recommended and don't forget to go outside and go on the boats as well, they are included in the entrance fee but this wasn't made clear when we arrived 😁

Lennusadam is one of the most impressive museums I’ve ever visited 🚢✨. Housed in a stunning seaplane hangar, it combines history, technology, and hands-on fun in the best way. Walking through a real submarine, seeing historic ships up close, and exploring interactive exhibits makes it an experience for all ages. The building itself is breathtaking, and the harbor views outside are just as beautiful. A perfect mix of learning and adventure—this isn’t just a museum, it’s a full journey into Estonia’s maritime past.

Amazing family activity with lots to experience, ideal for all ages, from toddlers to preschoolers to teens. The museum has plenty of stations and little to no wait to experience the different activities. Stations worked well and are of interest as they cover various topics. Drive a boat, pilot a plane, get in a raft, visit a submarine and explore a playplace for 0-6 years old. The museum is kept clean and tidy. Has several accessibility features (sign language, braille, relief pathways) The exterior boats can be visited without any wait. Get in an ice breaker or a 1940s US crusader. Enough to keep the family busy for 4 hours! The cafe restaurant has a good selection of meals at reasonable prices.

This was one of my favorite areas to visit on our Baltic Sea Cruise. It's about a 25 minute walk from the bus drop off area in Tallinn. Lots of beautiful art to see and take pictures with. There was a huge market area, like Estonian Whole Foods with all the fresh fruits and vegetables and all the healthy products. Also an indoor marketplace with all sorts of artisan products from driftwood stuff to soaps and clothing and home products. Lots of restaurants and bars too. Also a game/card store.

St Olaf's Church, a Baptist church in Tallinn, was built in the 14th century and features a 124-meter tower that has survived multiple lightning strikes. The church offers a narrow observation platform at the top of the tower, providing breathtaking views of Tallinn's Old Town and the Gulf of Finland.
Grand looking church from the outside, trip up the Tower is recommended but stairs are steep and spirally, bit dodgy if passing people too. View from the top is worth the effort . There is a €5 to €8 charge depending on age to climb the Tower though the church is free.
Peter M — Google review
If you want a great view of the cit, pay the 8 € fee and climb the stairs. It is a narrow, winding staircase that takes you up about 250 steps to get a view of the city from about 60 meters above street level. The same staircase is used for going up and down so sometime you have to step aside to allow people to squeeze past you.

Great view of the Tallin city. 360degree Free entrance to the church Tower ticket 8 euro In the 1500s, (if i am not wrong)It used to be the tallest building in the world, ship use the church as a preference guide. Therefore, the thunder hit the church quite some times. It was burn and rebuild several times. Very worth of climbing up for a good view of the harbor and the city itself.

Impressive church inside but it's all about the view from the tower for me! It's a narrow staircase to the top, I didn't have to pass anyone but I'd imagine it's awkward, there are a couple of seats half way up should you need a rest, but the view is very much worth the trek upwards

I visited St. Olaf's Church during a day of sightseeing in Tallinn. I paid 8 Euros for admission to the tower. It's quite a hike, and to be completely honest, I found the top a little scary (it's quite safe though) in the moment. You can buy a ticket there, and the church can process card payments for the tickets, but if you want something from the giftshop, you'll need cash. Beautiful views!

Impressive church with a huge tower, visible from all over Tallinn. Sadly, both the church and the tower are not open for visits outside of the summer months (except for actual services on Sunday). A bit disappointing that one of the major historic monuments of Tallinn is not open during the year.
Wies V — Google review
The entrance for the St. Olaf’s Church is free unless you want to climb to the tower which is supposed to provide you with an amazing view of the city. We preferred not to climb to the tower of St. Olaf’s church due to it’s stairs and due to the fact that St. Nicholas church has an elevator going up to its tower which is really close to St. Olaf’s. The interior of the church has a gothic style and the walls are mostly empty. The most striking thing about the church is how high it is.
Ece H — Google review
A tough climb but so worth it. The stuff (in the ticket booth) was so kind and friendly. The 270 stairs are medieval and as such very hard to climb, even though there is a resting place half way with 4 chairs. But if you have enough will power, it won’t be a problem. Up stairs, it’s not for the faint of heart as the platform is narrow, high up and very “solid”. It’s probably the best view of the city, and I’ve climbed most of the towers there!

The Estonian Maritime Museum is where history sails right into fun ⛵⚓. From ancient shipwrecks to a full-size submarine you can actually walk through, it’s like stepping into a time machine—only way cooler and less risky. The exhibits are super engaging, the views from the top are stunning, and I left feeling both smarter and slightly more qualified to be a pirate. 🏴‍☠️😂 A must-visit in Tallinn if you love history, ships, or just pretending to be Jack Sparrow for a while.

Located in a massive tower of the old town wall, they have exhibits of cogs ( including the original wreck of a medieval cog hanging from the ceiling), sailing ships, steam ships and modern motor ships on four stories. You can either take the stairs or the lift. The exhibitions mainly consist of very nice models of ships and some miscellaneous artefacts. At the top floor, there is a terrace with a wonderful view above Tallinn.

It is housed in an industrial-looking warehouse with graffiti-ed exterior and moody lighting, adding to its unique charm. The area attracts a younger crowd and features creative studios, nightclubs, and unique businesses like a cycle shop that doubles as a bar.
Food was excellent! We were 6 and everybody was happy with one's orders. Music was a bit too laud for an old ear, but that's how it is. The young were happy.

Fantastic food spot in Tallinn. First of all, the staff and the place deserve alone 5 stars. The lady that welcomed us managed to find us a table for 2 even if they were pretty full and the guy serving us was really friendly and helpful. About the place, it has an incredible urban vibe. From what I read, it was an old factory that is now transformed in this place. Really great vibe and great music too. In the 15 minutes wait for our table, we ordered the mint mocktail that was surprisingly really tasty. The food choices are really interesting. Originally we wanted to take one portion of dumplings and one of loaded fried but then, looking at the pizza menu, we ordered also a beetroot, green onions and goat cheese pizza. Generally we don't really like beetroot, but the flavour here was subtle and enjoyable. The pizza choices in general were really unique and loaded with toppings, making it also a nice value for money. About the taste, it was all really nice, just everything slightly salty, but not too much to ruin the taste. F-Hoone is absolutely suggested for a dinner out and try their pizza, they're tasty and with interesting toppings.

Visit to F-Hoone, Telliskivi tn 60a, 10412 Tallinn. The place is located in the Telliskivi area, known for its art and creative atmosphere. We managed to get one of the few tables that wasn’t occupied or reserved. My choice was easy – Pizza Nduja with extra chili. My son chose the smashed burger with sweet potato fries. Both the pizza and the burger were good, and the service was fast and friendly. A small minus for the poorly cut pizza. What wasn’t good, however, was the toilet – the door needed a lock.

Excellent food and cool surroundings. Pretty decent service as well (went for an early lunch and it was fairly quiet). They have a decent beer and drinks selection and my wife enjoyed the virgin cocktails a lot.

Very cozy and original atmosphere, lots of tables but still feels intimate. The soup was tasty (a bit spicy), and I really liked the cauliflower. A very strange choice in the men’s restroom – open toilets.

Food is delicious! It was fairly busy when we dined here, but service was still friendly and we didn't feel rushed. We were seated on a nice covered patio. We had some local beers and loaded fries for starters, the fries had lots of flavor and sauce. For our main course we had the crispy chicken on Belgian waffle, it was a perfect blend of salty and sweet! 👌

F-Hoone was our last dinner stop in Tallinn, Estonia, on September 6th, 2025, just before heading to Helsinki. We had actually tried to get in the Friday before but it was nearly impossible, with people queuing outside, a sign of how popular this place is, and one of the reasons we decided to give it a try. The menu is straightforward and waiting times were reasonable. Here’s what we ordered: Duck confit bao – €9.20 Loaded fries with pancetta and parmesan – €8.40 Crispy chicken with Belgian waffle and coleslaw – €13.10 Korean-style rice noodle dish (tteokbokki) – €13.00 Vallformosa Cava, Origen Brut Reserva – €8.70 Chocolate–mascarpone cake – €5.00 Total: €57.40 The crispy chicken was a bit too sweet due to the sauce, while the Korean noodles were extremely spicy, so much so that finishing half was nearly impossible. While I respect everyone’s preferences, I personally didn’t quite understand what makes this spot so popular and crowded, as what I had felt like ordinary food without anything particularly special. Would I recommend it? Yes, it’s worth experiencing, but I can’t say it stood out in any memorable way for me. Thanks.

Lee Restoran is located in Tallinn’s Old Town, just a few minutes' walk from the Town Hall Square. The restaurant’s courtyard terrace is truly enchanting, offering a serene and beautiful setting. Inside, the dining room is tastefully decorated, with a striking red sofa lining the wall and drawing the eye across the space. The dishes were flavorful and well-prepared, though they stopped just short of perfection. That said, the sauces were outstanding and deserve special mention. The staff was friendly and welcoming throughout the visit. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area.

We booked a table for two at the start of dinner, but the restaurant was already a full house, highlighting its popularity. The interior is beautifully designed, featuring a stunning garden and a rustic yet elegant ambiance that enhances the dining experience. We started with the beef tartare, which was presented uniquely with large, tender bits of ground meat, complemented by smoked oyster cream, shallot, and tarragon. The ceviche was fresh and vibrant, offering a delightful balance of flavors. For mains, the steak was perfectly cooked, and the grilled asparagus risotto with green peas and marinated ramson was a standout, showcasing the chef's skill in balancing textures and tastes. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, providing detailed explanations of each dish and enhancing the overall dining experience. While the pricing is on the higher side, the quality of the food and the ambiance justify the cost. Lee Brasserie offers a refined yet approachable dining experience, making it a must-visit for those seeking exceptional cuisine in Tallinn.

We visited this place on a Tuesday night and had such a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely excellent, the atmosphere warm and inviting, and the staff welcoming and friendly.

First of all, the service was terrible. The waitress made our dinner uncomfortable — almost the entire time, she didn’t understand what we wanted or trying to order. The atmosphere was tense and unfriendly. Main courses took 40 minutes to arrive. The food was mediocre and definitely not worth the money. Nothing outstanding about this place. We left almost 150 euros and just felt confused.

I highly recommend pain perdu with matcha ice cream. Overall, great experience.

As the overall dining scene in Tallinn continues to hold its strong standards, Art Priori truly stands out — a restaurant that never fails to deliver an exceptional experience. Each visit feels like a celebration of fine dining at its best, intertwining exquisite flavors with attentive, thoughtful service. On our recent visits, every course has been wonderful. We’ve started with oysters the last times — always fresh, delicate, and beautifully presented. From the new menu, I’d especially highlight the Scallops Crudo — an absolute gem that’s not to be missed. You can never go wrong with their tartare, either, a classic that reflects the kitchen’s refined touch perfectly. Nothing too much, nothing missing. If this already whets your appetite, I’ll leave the mains and desserts for you to discover yourself — they’re worth the anticipation. The interior mirrors the same level of artistry found in the kitchen — thoughtfully curated, with attention to detail and a sense of timeless elegance that makes the whole experience feel complete. A special mention to Valeri and Getter for their warm and impeccable service, which adds so much to the overall experience. The wine selection is excellent, with thoughtful pairings that really let the dishes bloom. Art Priori remains one of Tallinn’s true culinary highlights — a place that continues to stay true to their values and integrity in a world that so often trades authenticity for standardisation.

Delightful menu with fine starters, tender fish and meat mains, and tasty desserts — a great example of modern fusion cuisine with Estonian touch.

We booked a table weeks in advance when we knew we were visiting Tallinn. We ate there on a Monday evening in the summer but the place was fairly empty. We were sat at the back of the restaurant in the main room and felt we were away from the atmosphere. The decor is really nice - modern, clean and industrial while at the sane time warm and cosy. As a vegan, they had no problems adapting the menu. As a starter I had a grilled asparagus with the a creamy truffle sauce and for a main meal had an incredible risotto. The frozen chocolate cake with berries was insanely good! Unfortunately the staff weren’t friendly or inviting and they were not generous with the wine. Tip! Buy a bottle otherwise you’ll get a very tiny pour. When our waitress poured the wine, we assumed it was a splash just to taste the wine but nope!

We had been waiting for this restaurant experience and booked a table well in advance, because we know that the restaurant had received a Michelin recommendation. Well, I don't remember when we had received such poor service. At the start we ordered (3pax) 3 breads to start, we got 5 pieces, when we asked the waiter about it, she said that everyone could taste it? A what??? At this point, it didn't even occur to me that my asparagus starter would come with all the main courses? 😒 The only thing we got a correct time was a water, all other got drinks we got a little after the main courses and even then so I got the risotto and the asparagus "my starter" at the same time whit all the other main courses???? So..When the dishes were served, we asked about this; were told that the drinks had just arrived, the order regarding was completely ignored. This restaurant completely lacks control on the serving side, there was no one to even properly correct mistakes because all the waiters were too young to understand the mistakes made. Which was a shame in itself because the food itself was good, but in this case it doesn't make up for the whole thing. I would not never recommend 😒 this place!!!

We had a great experience and enjoyed the food, the views, and the great service. We were a little hesitant at first because some reviews said service was awful. We can’t say that at all. We called to make a reso before heading over on a Sunday and no one answered. Within 5min someone called back and made the reso. We arrived and they had a great table outside on the waterfront with amazing views. The servers were all super nice and gave great recommendations. The food arrived and everything was delicious. Highly recommend.

Enjoyed the duck but not the service here this time around. For our table, the trainee was switched for a more experienced server (shift manager) after a disagreement over whether one person could order a mixed selection meant for at least 2 people for a group of 8 so everyone can try the food - probably a combination of busy friday night & trainee not being used to large group orders. That kind of dampened our experience. My duck was perfectly cooked to medium minus and the primitivo red went well with it. I quite enjoyed the really fresh beef tartar as well. I’ll probably go back, but with 2-4 people max.

Freedom Square, located in Tallinn, is a historic and symbolic site representing independence. The square features modern cafes, art galleries, benches, and monuments. It was previously known as Victory Square during the Soviet era and hosted military parades. The main attraction is the large-scale Victory Monument commemorating Estonia's victory against the Red Army troops. Additionally, the Freedom Monument overlooks the square and was unveiled in 2009 to honor Estonia's independence movement of 1918-20.
Freedom Square (Vabaduse väljak) is one of those places that feels both grand and reflective at the same time. Located on the edge of Tallinn’s Old Town, it offers a welcome change of pace from the narrow medieval streets — it’s wide open, modern, and deeply symbolic. At the heart of the square stands the Tallinn Victory Column, a towering glass monument honoring those who fought in the Estonian War of Independence (1918–1920). The cross at the top of the monument glows, especially beautifully at night, and serves as a powerful reminder of the country’s hard-won freedom. Even if you’re not familiar with Estonian history, the atmosphere invites quiet reflection. What we loved most about this square is how it blends historic significance with modern public space. You’ll find beautifully maintained grounds, plenty of open space to walk or rest, and excellent views of the St. John's Church, which sits on one side of the square. The contrast between the classic church, the modern monument, and the Old Town wall just steps away makes this area especially photogenic. We visited during the day, but locals say it’s even more striking at night when the Victory Column is lit up. It’s also used for public gatherings, festivals, and national celebrations — so you might get lucky and catch a special event. Whether you're interested in Estonia’s history, looking for a quiet moment, or just want a great photo spot, Freedom Square is definitely worth the stop. It’s clean, open, and well located — right near the Old Town, but with a totally different feel.

Vabaduse väljak is Estonia’s heart of freedom. Every stone here carries a message. The huge open square and the tall glass Victory Column silently say: “We fought for independence in 1920. We lost it for 50 years. We got it back in 1991 – and we will never let it go again.” People light candles here on Independence Day, sing the national anthem here when danger comes, and celebrate here when they win. Protests start here, victories are announced here. Standing in the middle, under that glowing cross, you feel it without words: This empty space is not empty. It is full of everything Estonia had to survive to stay free. One quiet look around and you understand: This square is the proof that a small nation is still here – free.

Viru Gate, dating back to the 13th century, is a significant entry point to Tallinn's Old Town. The gate consists of two large watchtowers covered in ivy and serves as a major sightseeing attraction in the city. Originally part of a defense system, it once guarded the bustling market square beyond. The gate leads down to the city center from the castle and offers incredible views from the top.
I loved everything about that place. I lost my card and I found it untouched. I felt safe... I don't know if it actually is but I did. Beautiful and calming energy. I walked around at night so not lots of people either. Magical. I'm in love

There truly are a lot of gates in old town and out of all of them this is the best one. There are also some nice flower shops right outside the gate. I also suggest going to the park next to the gate like an upper level of the gate viewing area for some better photos and less crowds. It’s rare that the better photo spot also has less people

Grundsätzlich ist es sehr fotogen und viele Leute schauen es sich täglich an. Toll dort vorbeizuschauen und es zu erkunden kann es sehr empfehlen!

Nestled at the entrance of Tallinn’s enchanting Old Town, Viru Gate (Viru värav in Estonian) is a striking portal that ushers you into a world where medieval charm meets vibrant modernity. This iconic structure, often the starting point for exploring Tallinn’s historic heart, promises more than meets the eye for those who take the time to delve beyond its impressive facade. Historical Background Built in the 14th century as part of Tallinn’s formidable city defenses, Viru Gate originally featured a more extensive structure, including walls and additional towers, which were part of the city’s protective system. Over time, much of these fortifications were dismantled as the city expanded, leaving the gate as a historical remnant. The two round towers that stand today are remnants of what was once a more complex entrance to the city, serving as a reminder of Tallinn’s medieval past. Unique Features and Hidden Gems 1. Medieval Tower Secrets The gate’s twin towers are more than just picturesque landmarks; they house narrow, winding staircases that are often overlooked. While not always open to the public, during special events or guided tours, you might get a chance to explore these hidden stairs. If accessible, they offer a fascinating glimpse into the architectural ingenuity of medieval Tallinn and provide a unique vantage point for viewing the surrounding area. 2. Floral Market At the base of Viru Gate, you’ll find a bustling flower market that brings a burst of color and life to the stone structure. This market is not just a delightful photo opportunity but also a testament to the gate’s role as a gateway to everyday local life. The flowers here are fresh and vibrant, often changing with the seasons, and browsing the stalls offers an intimate experience of Tallinn’s local charm. 3. The Secret Passageways Just beyond Viru Gate, tucked away in the nooks and crannies of the Old Town, are several less-trafficked alleys and courtyards. These passageways, some of which are remnants of old defensive routes, offer a quieter, more intimate exploration of the city’s medieval architecture. Look for the small plaques and signs that tell stories of past residents and historical events. 4. Nighttime Enchantment Viru Gate takes on a magical quality after dusk. The gate and its surroundings are beautifully illuminated, casting a warm glow that accentuates the medieval architecture against the night sky. Visiting after dark allows you to experience a different atmosphere, less crowded and more serene, with the added charm of the gate’s dramatic lighting. Tips for Visiting • Best Time to Visit: Early morning or late evening to avoid the crowds and enjoy the gate in a quieter setting. • Exploration: Take time to walk through the small alleys just beyond the gate for a more authentic Old Town experience. • Photography: Capture the gate’s charm both during the day and at night to appreciate its full character. • Local Interactions: Engage with the flower sellers at the market for a bit of local interaction and perhaps pick up some Estonian blooms.

The Kiek in de Kök Museum and Bastion Tunnels is a restored 15th-century cannon tower that now serves as a museum with exhibits and guided tours of secret tunnels. The museum, located in Tallinn, offers an interesting look into the city's history. The limestone bastion passages, which were used to conceal soldiers' movements, have recently reopened with new video and sound effects.
Spectacular and expansive museum with a lot of interactive entertainment for kids and interesting information for adults. Great the views from the tower tops as well as from the wall bridge and pleasant the cellar walk. Lovely to catch a break with a drink and a snack at the bar.

It was a really impressive and interesting museum. Both offer historical information and interactive parts. You can climb the walls, the towers and go down the tunnels. The last tower is a cafe museum which showcases different chairs and bar chairs from around the historical cafes of Tallinn. Tunnels are a must but since they end outside I would recommend for you to go inside the towers and the museum first.

After going to that Da Vinci rip-off exhibition, we came to this museum to kill some time before our flight. We were actually surprised by it. You walk around the fortress wall and the towers enjoying some nice views and then down in the long tunnel watching some historical videos which were quite interesting. I think the museum did a good job making it interesting.

1 | Kiek in de Kök is a museum of the city’s fortifications, presenting the defense of Tallinn from the Middle Ages up to the 20th century. From the upper floors, there is a nice view of the entire city, including the harbor and the Old Town. The name Kiek in de Kök refers to a 15th-century artillery tower built as part of the city’s defenses. During the visit, you can also explore the tunnels beneath the city. 2 | What we liked most were the views and the authenticity of the place. The museum includes chairs from various cafés from different historical periods, which I found interesting. “Kiek in de Kök” in Estonian literally means “peek into the kitchen.” 3 | The ticket price is €16 per person, and on the first Sunday of every month, the museum can be visited for free. We spent about an hour here. 4 | At the time, it was one of the strongest artillery towers in the entire Baltic region. The tower had 27 gun embrasures and 30 for small arms, with some walls reinforced up to 4 meters thick. In some parts of the wall, you can still see stone cannonballs fired by the troops of Tsar Ivan the Terrible in 1577. 5 | During World War II, some of the tunnels served as gas-tight air-raid shelters with ventilation and reinforced doors. In the 1950s, the corridors were renovated with electricity, telephone lines, water supply, and toilets. Three-story metal bunks were brought in, allowing the corridors to serve as an emergency nuclear shelter for the city’s residents.

Really amazing museum, you get the most incredible views of the city, but also the historic exhibits are incredible. The underground tunnels are really cool, but the entrance to them is really moist and slippy, so be very careful as I nearly ended up flat on my back. This is included in the Tallin card you can get from the Tourist information shop, highly recommend getting one.
Tyler L — Google review
A very good museum, especially because the tunnels (bastion) beneath the castle are so interesting. It's well presented, the views from up top across parts of Tallin are good. Take your time there. You easily need 30mins plus just for the tunnels. And don't scrunch up your ticket. You need the barcode to go through auto gates to enter the tunnels. You pay just for the museum or for the towers or for the tunnels included. I recommend doing the lot.
Chris T — Google review
Admission 16 for the adult Among total of three tower that you can climb up. This museum contain four towers that are all link together and an underground tunnel you can go in. It may take you roughly two hours or more. If you like history of Tallinn wall and mediaeval era. There are also a cafe loceted in one of the tower without at admission fee.

A very engaging museum for a topic (defense/city planning/firemen/etc) that is often done so poorly and dryly in other places. Great to be able to clamber through the restored areas -- do note that I do not see this being as an accessible museum for people with mobility struggles. There are a lot of steep stairs to go both up and down! *also there are manikins throughout the bastion tunnel -- creeper me right out! Take a buddy and a warm layer and you'll be fine though, just pre-warning so you avoid my initial jump scare at the bottom of the stairs down!

Nestled in the vibrant Hipster district of Telliskivi Creative Centre, Fotografiska Tallinn is a captivating extension of Stockholm's esteemed photography museum. This cultural hotspot seamlessly blends art, gastronomy, and entertainment. Visitors can explore stunning photographic exhibitions while enjoying a Michelin Green star restaurant that champions sustainability with its zero-waste philosophy and fresh local ingredients. The venue also boasts versatile event spaces, including an expansive hall perfect for seminars or performances, alongside a cozy café and courtyard ideal for receptions.
I went here with a friend one wet afternoon to get out of the rain, and it was worth the visit! There were 3 different photographers on show, but I was mostly interested in Elliot Erwitt's images. I very much enjoyed seeing his work up close as it's a style of photography I myself am in to. It's definitely worth a visit while this photographer's shots are still on display here. :)

A very positive experience at Fotografiska Tallinn! Loved the exhibitions. Every moment was interesting, and the quality of the works was outstanding. It was great that the place wasn't crowded. I could really take my time and enjoy the art.

We enjoyed a break here for a glass of wine and Kate in the day 50% off pastry so I chose an apple tart. Yummy. Service excellent. This cafe is set in the base of the museum, a charming gift shop with prints by famous recording artists, art books, and more. The indoor seating is accessible and we choose accessible outdoor seating amid the vibe in the creative district with street murals, cafes, artists displays.

When I was here there was only 2 of 3 exhibitions open so the price was reduced which was very nice! Small shop with a lot of books and other stuff.

Exhibition of Elliot Erwitt was excellent. They have 2 floors of exhibitions and ground floor have restaurant, shop and rest rooms. It’s about 15-20 minutes walk from old town but was worth it. The neighborhood is upcoming as many industrial buildings and warehouses are being converted into residential and restaurants.

We loved visiting Fotografiska Tallinn - add it to your itinerary when in Tallinn. The whole Telliskivi is really cool!

Well curated exhibitions. Seats are easily found in the exhibition area, which is quite visitor friendly especially when you have been on foot for hours. Free toilets are on the ground floor. Re-entry to the exhibitions is allowed if you are going to the toilets.

French restaurant
Tallinn's French bistro offers affordable and delicious food, with great lunch deals. The friendly staff and warm atmosphere make it a great place to spend an afternoon.
I had many great meals in Tallinn, but it doesn’t get any better than that. The food was amazing, stuff super friendly and helpful. Also the location was very relaxing. The only issue I had was that I would have loved to try more of their delicious meals, but I was full already :)

This is a great restaurant in Telliskivi. The atmosphere is vibrant and there are cool pieces of art on the walls. The service is very good! The food tasted very well as well, only thing to note out is that the seabass that I had as the main was a bit dull in taste. It was a pleasant dining experience!
Hannalore T — Google review
This was our favorite meal in Tallinn! My husband and I went for our two year wedding anniversary. The service was welcoming and high quality. I later learned that our server Hayley owned and operated the place with her husband. The food was brilliant! The sea-bass was incredibly fresh and prepared to perfection. We also ordered the Tournedos Beef and the Pear Cake. The beef was and the sauce was divine. One of my faves was the pear cake, the recipe of her mother-in-law. It was made with love and comfort. I also appreciated their wine selection and opted for a great natural white. It was deliciously layered and unique. I’ll also say that I really appreciated the welcome feeling of the physical space and of the staff. Rare in fine dining. Great location too, right by the Fotografiska Museum. Well priced. I wanted to eat every meal here.

A jewel. French food tastes good here. Fish was perfectly done. Gewürztraminer grand cru was nice, dessert (fondant) was awesome. I had a small issue with the dessert and the charming waitress got it resolved in no time. Perfect place! Will visit again when in town next time.
Hadi K — Google review
Very cool bistro with nice staff, but with very ordinary and bland dishes. Dishes looks great but tasted very bland. Everything was under seasoned and nothing was exciting. Compared with the price, which was on the high side, the quality didn't match. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The ambience was very nice too.
Farokh S — Google review
It was our lunch. Interiors and atmosphere are typical for this area (Telliskivi). Big windows, high ceiling - a lot of air in the small place. Food: we tried chicken fillet, duck fillet, Tartare, vegan lemon cake and pear cake. Longest delivery time had chicken fillet - but the size was also surprisingly good. Duck had ca 150g sliced breast (tasty), puree was very thin and not much on the plate. Overall - duck was not as a main course, but more looks starter (from the size point of view). Lemon cake is served with raspberry sorbet - both are sour and not complement each other. To sum up : if you are not very hungry, then the place is good. The presentation of the food on the plate is beautiful - it pleases the eye.

Frenchy Bistro is an excellent restaurant. We really enjoyed it. The food is great as is the service and the general atmosphere. It is a 20 minute walk (if you walk slowly) from the Old Town and about 5 minutes from the train station. Enjoy!

Scandinavian restaurant
Farm is a contemporary Estonian restaurant situated in the charming Tallinn Old Town. The eatery offers a blend of traditional and modern Estonian cuisine, using locally sourced ingredients to create dishes with a lively contemporary twist. The restaurant's stylish interior features chandeliers in birdcages and reclaimed wood, adding to its warm and welcoming ambiance.
This place is an amazing culinary experience. Try the Estonian modern cuisine, rhubarb wine (surprise of the evening - it was really tasty!), fish, lamb and other local specialities. The staff is super friendly and professional and speaks perfectly English.
Anna K — Google review
We searched about this restaurant at the last minute for our dinner in Tallinn. Turned out this restaurant served the best duck ever I have eaten. The atmosphere was cosy. They have the open kitchen where you could see how chefs prepare your meals. The price is reasonable. As I mentioned, the duck is the plate of the house, highly recommended. However, the service was off for us. She was serving us with cold face and not enthusiastic mood.

Amazing!! One of the most creative restaurants we’ve ever been to. Great modern Estonian with easy going non pretentious ambience - loved the live music on Friday. Impeccable combinations of flavors and textures, beautiful presentation, attentive service. Made our evening. Highly recommend all the appetizers, charcuttery board journey, lamb soup, dessert :) no room for the main - should have been with more people to give that a try too. Or we just have to come back :)
Rachel L — Google review
Dining at Farm is nothing short of remarkable – an experience that confidently holds its own against Michelin-starred restaurants, yet at a refreshingly accessible price. The evening began with starters that immediately set the tone: the beef tartare and whitefish were exemplary in execution. The tartare was clean yet layered, with every bite revealing depth and balance. The whitefish starter impressed with its subtle freshness, lifted by precisely judged acidity that brightened rather than dominated. Both showcased not only technical mastery but also the beauty of Estonia’s own produce, which shines through every plate. The main courses maintained this high standard. The lamb rump steak was cooked with precision, its natural flavor elevated without being overshadowed. The quail stood out as a highlight of the evening – tender, elegantly plated, and paired with corn so inventive and texturally satisfying that it became a dish of its own. Plating throughout was thoughtful and refined, never fussy, letting the ingredients speak with clarity. Dessert was the only slight misstep: a lemon sorbet that leaned too far into sweetness. Its creamy consistency suggested a deliberate balance, but in the process the delicate dandelion syrup was sadly lost. What made the experience even more impressive: everything was prepared gluten-free, without compromise in texture, flavor, or presentation. The open view into the kitchen added another layer of delight – watching the calm precision of the team at work gave a glimpse into the craft behind the plates. Service was friendly and attentive, though less formal than what fine dining often demands in other countries. This may simply reflect Estonia’s more relaxed style of hospitality, but it’s worth noting for those expecting a highly polished service experience. Tips were collected via QR code, with the assurance that part of it goes to the kitchen – something I sincerely hope is indeed the case, as the team behind these dishes fully deserves it. If there was one small atmospheric detail missing, it would be cloth napkins to fully match the sophistication of the cuisine. Beyond that, Farm offers a dining experience of rare caliber – balanced, confident, rooted in local flavors, and unforgettable.

Worth visit for sure. Potato salad with duck was superb! Rest of dishes were also of very high level and service was professional and in proper pace. Maybe just a bit lacking of vegetarian options to be perfect.

Fine dining restaurant
Restaurant Tchaikovsky, located in Tallinn, Estonia, has been recognized as one of the top restaurants in the area. It has received accolades such as being named Tallinn's best restaurant by Flavors of Estonia and winning multiple Silver Spoon Awards in 2013. The restaurant offers a unique blend of French and Russian cuisines curated by chef Vladislav Djatsuk.
Amazing restaurant with very high quality food. Atmosphere was equally fantastic. We got seated on the inside due to wet weather, but both options were equally appealing. Don’t leave without trying the pavlova!
Oskar S — Google review
Very nice upscale restaurant, pricey but good. Very good for special occasions. Awesome service and complementary things from the chef. Interesting menu and the tasting options. We had duck breast and halibut. The duck breast was a little chewy and the halibut was a little dry and overcooked, but they took good care of us and made another halibut for us. Over all we had a great time. Pavlova was the desert and it was great, the presentation was great.

If you are not planning on coming here- change your plans. I do not remember the last time I have a better meal. It’s ridiculous they don’t have several Michelin stars- they are better than most Michelin starred places I have been. Everything was fresh and well prepared. The service is great. The food was all accessible- the tasting menu is the way to go. I had a passion fruit sour from the bar and that was amazing. My friend did wine recommendations and they were also great. Fresh. Seasonal. Delicious. Top of my list when I return. My favorite was the mussels and the initial amuse bouche, the pavlova desert was also top tier. You can’t go wrong.

This was my second visit here and it was absolutely worth coming back. The service was very attentive and friendly and we never felt rushed with the food. As for the food itself, everything was fantastic. The wine pairings worked perfectly, each dish was well balanced and tasty, even the palate cleansers we got were great! The locale itself is also beautiful and relaxing to sit in to enjoy a nice meal. We ordered the tasting menu and it is definitely the way to go as it is worth every penny. We are definitely coming back ❤️

What an experience! Exceptionally good and inviting interior. We went there with my family for my birthday. My mother liked it so much she requested we come back around Christmas time. One of the top restaurants in terms of ordering the degustation menu and what value it offers. Looking forward to being back here. Tchaikovsky stands out for its refined atmosphere - classical music, elegant decor, and an overall sense of understated luxury. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, always making sure our experience felt special and comfortable. Each dish in the tasting menu was truly a work of art, from beautifully plated starters to the rich and creative mains, with flavors that felt both sophisticated and balanced. The desserts, especially the pavlova, left a lasting impression on all of us. It’s rare to find a place where every element is executed so thoughtfully, right down to the selection of breads and the perfectly paired wines. The environment is not only classy but inviting as well, making it ideal for celebrating meaningful occasions with loved ones. Can’t recommend it enough if you’re looking for a memorable dining experience in Tallinn. We will definitely return - this restaurant is a gem and deserves all of its accolades.

I visited this restaurant during Restaurant Week and had a great time. The tasting menu was good, the wine selection was amazing. The service was very professional, and the interior looked great. The live Tchaikovsky music was beautiful but a bit too loud and close. Overall, a very nice experience!

Tchaikovsky Restaurant – A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Tallinn An absolutely lovely dining experience. The atmosphere is elegant yet cozy, with attentive service and a refined menu. The cheese platter was exceptional, perfectly paired with a glass of local craft beer. A perfect way to unwind after a long day of walking. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a touch of class in Tallinn. Exceptional waitresses Alina and Ksrnia - thank you

Restaurant Pegasus is a stylish and vintage eatery that has been open since 1962, exuding Cold-War-era charm with its porthole windows, shagadelic dining chairs, and Anglepoise ceiling lamps. The menu offers modern dishes like spicy cauliflower with cashew cream and pickled kumquat. It is a vegetarian-friendly spot located in Old Town, known for its patio seating and prime people-watching.
We had no reservation for a party of 5 and were brought right in during a busy dinner hour. Carolin R was an amazing waitress to my family. She was sweet and attentive, gave honest feedback about food choices. This added to the dining experience of delicious food and drinks. I truly believe that the borscht was the best I have ever had! I highly recommend eating at this fine restaurant.

Our last lunch in Tallinn and this restaurant was recommend to us, there was no wait for a table & we were given a table on the second floor by the window with a fantastic view. The menu choices are limited but this is no doubt deliberate, as all the produce tasted very fresh. All the side dishes were amazing and highly recommend. The fish and chicken main dishes were really nice, we didn't have a starter or dessert. Service was pleasant and we were guided well ref menu options by our server Kristiina

This is superb! We walked by this on day 1 and been meaning to try. God the food did not disappoint!! Really good! Fish is well flavoured and tender then the flakes were bursting w umani. Try to kombucha to clear palate and boost ur immune :)) and the dessert cheese cake is not to be missed. I love this place for the ambient greaty quality food

We came to Tallinn on a whim for the Midsummer weekend, and unbeknownst to us it was also graduation week. Even though it was a busy Friday night, the hostess at Pegasus took us as a walk-in and sat us immediately. The patio is right on a lively main walking street and made for great dog-watching :) Our server, Artur, was a friendly young gentleman — knowledgeable about the menu and able to make a few great recommendations. He worked the room like a pro and we were quite impressed when he mentioned it was his first week at the restaurant. The food was superb. We had a bunch of appetizers, the whipped feta and tartare were real standouts. All the flavors were so well thought out, completely balanced — nothing out of place. The basque cheesecake had a delicious pistachio sorbet with lots of seeds for a little crunch, as well as a tart cherry compote and espresso foam. Again, so well thought out. A perfect dessert. Overall, our visit to Pegasus was 10/10 and we will definitely be back!

Our guide directed us to this restaurant. I went in with no apprehensions of what to expect. I was happily surprised. The place is charming and has multiple floors. We sat in a window overlooking the square. Our waitress discussed with usthe menu in a lot of detail. She was very knowledgeable about it even though she said the menu had only been in place for a week. We made our order and discussed wine pairing and decided to go with the chef's recommendations. We started with the smoked salmon appetizer with citrus sauce and fermented fennel. Delicious! My partner had the chicken with artichokes cream and pickled celeriac, she loved it. I had the lamb with pickled dicon, smoked yogurt sauce and chorizo/carrots puree. Perfectly prepared with a very balanced flavors palette. For desert we shared the egg free pavlova with black currants sorbet and a splash of mint oil. Absolutely delicious! Our server was absolutely amazing never missing a beat, always there and never intrusive. I can't recommend this restaurant more... Go here!
