Tallinn is a wonderful place to pass through. Walking around the old city center transports you to another world, in ancient times. The small shops, narrow streets and the old buildings all contribute to the calmness and holiday vibe of Tallinn, especially if you’re traveling during the summer. The variety of restaurants also make Tallinn a good choice for a holiday, as you can diversify your diet and enjoy a different and good meal, every evening. Here are a few suggestions of restaurants that you should consider trying, during your visit.

1. Restaurant Ribe

Tähistamiseks sobiv suvine roog on pardimuna värskete herneste, kukeseente ja trühvliga. Kaunist pidupäeva! For summer...

Ribe Restaurant provides good quality food, in a friendly atmosphere. You can either choose a three-course menu or one dish. The cuisine is a mix of Estonian and international food and they are mostly known for their steak but they offer a few choices for vegetarians.

3. NOA Restaurant

Posted by NOA on Friday, 16 June 2017

One of the highlights at NOA Restaurant is its location because who doesn’t like to have dinner with an ocean view? The general environment and atmosphere in the restaurant are very pleasant, making it a good choice for a special occasion. The service is generally good, but when crowded, you might have to deal with long waits. If you’re not in a hurry, the wait is generally worth it.

6. Maiasmokk Cafe

Homme on rahvusvaheline ŠOKOLAADIKOOGI PÄEV! Tähista seda meie Vana Tallinna maitselise šokolaaditordiga.

Posted by Maiasmokk Kohvik on Thursday, 26 January 2017

If you have a sweet tooth, this is the place to go. Their pastries and baked cakes are great and it is the place to stop, if you’re looking for a coffee and dessert. They’re most famous for their marzipan museum room, where you can learn about the history of the dessert and see it being made, before your eyes. And if you’re hungry, you can also get a light, healthy meal. Most importantly, Maiasmokk Cafe is the oldest cafe in Tallinn, as well as Estonia as a whole, so a trip here is a delicious history lesson.
