Many tourists converge on the Town Hall Square after finishing their activities and fan out to the surrounding restaurants. This is a mistake, as you'll most likely be overcharged. Instead, try digging a little deeper to get to the real gems. Trust us, you needn't go far.
The twisting streets of the Old Town hold many culinary delights, from fashionable fringe restaurants to traditional Estonian experiences and world cuisines. Even if you're looking for a quick and simple fix you'll be glad to know Tallinn offers excellent and infinitely healthier alternatives to McDonald's, often at a lower cost.
Rewards are for those who seek them, and Tallinn's size makes seeking shamefully easy. Nothing's ever too far in this small city, so don't be afraid to push to and beyond the old walls in search of that perfect meal.

Away from the busy centre you'll be able to enjoy a quiet afternoon and dive deep into the slow pace of the neighbourhood. Soak up the vibe right here. We suggest you get yourself a pancake, be it sweet or savory, and brace yourself for a day of exploration in one of Tallinn's more curious areas.

Of course we wouldn't want to reduce Gourmet Coffee to a simple caffeine pit-stop. This small place prides itself on its eye for quality and a having cup of coffee here is an experience in its own. Get your morning dose of caffeine before heading out to see the presidential palace or visiting the KUMU art museum.

You can get a healthy meal here but curiously, this is the one cafe where the owners actually encourage you to just go with a simple coffee and a pastry instead. Maybe they oppose gluttony, or maybe they just want people to relax, but we quite like not being pressured into going crazy.

If you want a no-nonsense, stop and go coffee shop then we reckon Reval Cafe might suit your needs. It makes good use of the old building, with the old brick walls boldly exposed. It looks quite fancy and that is in part due to the fact that it also hides a restaurant in the back. But the prices are extremely reasonable.

NOP Cafe and Shop

We think this little shop, with its natural and tasty products couldn't have picked a better location. The surrounding area, Kadriorg, is a unique district in Tallinn, characterised by old wooden houses, some dating back to the late 19th century. The greenery and the houses are in perfect harmony with the very idea of NOP.

A bit pricier than your average local cafe Pierre makes you feel like you're in 1920s Paris. In summer it's one of the most amazing places to sit and watch the world go by, or take a break from a walk in the Old Town during a cold winter's day.

For nighttime entertainment we suggest you to investigate the posters outside to get a better idea of what's happening. Von Krahl is a theatre and they do have self produced alternative plays for people who are, say, not so much interested in the contents of a bottle but rather the character of it.

The bartender might pick his nose while serving you. It's pretty 1979. We're sure that people who are looking for an exotic experience won't be disappointed, but bear in mind that just because this is a "Soviet cafe“, it doesn't mean Lenin's portraits are lining its walls and that all the workers are wearing red uniforms.

Carmen Cafe's light and airy atmosphere attracts people here both for breakfast and lunch. However, even though I'm not one myself – this place is a real treat for those with a sweet tooth with all the cakes and pastries. After 6 p.m. a lot of the cakes and pastries can be bought to go with a discount. Wink-wink.

Beyond pastries, the meals are done just like mom would make them. Nothing unique, but if you're in the mood for some feel-good comfort food, their daily fares are reasonable and fulfilling. The cafe is bright, with lots of windows and located close to Kadriorg Palace. It's the perfect stop for a snowy day, a cup of tea, and some people watching.
