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.

The selection of drinks is excellent so there's no need to run downstairs for a six pack. Oh and did we mention the open-air terrace? It's classy, so turning up in a torn T-shirt with a vicious hangover from last night's tour of the city's underbelly is probably in bad taste.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sesoon’s seasonal menu is constantly changing and includes several vegetarian options. None of the dishes exceed €10, most are far below that.

Gourmet Coffee

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.

Reval Cafe & Restaurant

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.

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.

It's like stepping into a family room of warm and welcoming people who live and breathe theatre. It's also the only cheap place to eat in the upper town with daily specials at only €2 (soup) and €3.50.

Kohalik ("Local") is as local as it gets, although you could mistake the food for that of a fancy restaurant judging by its freshness and quality. Despite the professional cooking, this place is surprisingly inexpensive and attracts a mixed crowd both inside the building and out on the terrace.

Everything is made from raw material on the spot and sold either to accompany your coffee or by the box for take-away. A great way to spoil yourself in Tallinn. Do you already have a gift for you sweet-loving friends?

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.

They offer almost 20 different sorts of gelato and the flavours are always changing, so you can try something new each time. The portions are generous as well, 3 scoops to share with a friend is more than enough.
