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.

Sometimes vegetarians might feel a bit left out in Tallinn. Estonians, remembering their prehistoric roots all too well, are hell bent on destroying every cow in the country for immediate consumption. Still, there exist a couple of oases of civilisation like Aed where the ideals of organic food have not been abandoned.

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.

The quality of the food that you get in this café is unheard of for such little money, even rivalling the standards of a fine dining restaurant. They have moved to a different location, but it's still as good as ever.

Not everybody is content with Tallinn's mainstream club scene, and those people have long held Von Krahl in high regard. Technically the place is a theatre bar attracting local art patrons and other colourful characters with their tasty menu and short-but-sweet beer selection.

Let's get one thing straight – the bar's name doesn't mean what you think it does. It means, perhaps somewhat disappointingly, “tender wolf”. But hey, the sign has a naked chick riding a wolf on it. So there's that. It's a great place for food and during the summer there's an open air terrace in the small park just across the street.

If you manage to get all the way to Kalamaja, don’t miss the F-Hoone. If it wasn’t situated in such a funky neighbourhood, you’d call it out of place.

Sweet or savoury, it's all good. Whether you like strawberries, ice cream or cheese sauce, you'll find your favourite on the menu. And the pancakes are massive - honestly, we dare you to finish just one. But if you're too big of a sissy to take on one of their monsters, then they serve some salad too.

It's a well known brand among locals and there are several locations around the city. The most famous and best atmosphere is on Müürivahe street. It's a place for a quick coffee stop or takeaway, lunch meetings, a romantic dinner in the restaurant part – you name it. We like it cause we know what to expect.

Honestly, you don't have to be a vegetarian or a vegan to love this place! Opened only in 2014 as the first vegan restaurant in Tallinn V has quickly gathered a faithful following with its delicious food and warm-hearted service. I've heard more than one person say after a dinner there that it doesn't seem hard at all to give up meat and dairy.

Leib is one of the best kept secrets in the Old Town with the loveliest terrace in the backyard. It's run by two professional foodies – a chef and a sommelier, so that means the dishes match their wines and beers perfectly. As soon as you walk in you'll be surprised by the warm and welcoming staff.

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.

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.

Pizza Grande lacks the fast food joint attire usually associated with cheaper places and their menu is long, affordable and supplemented by a casual atmosphere which is perfect if you want to enjoy some downtime with your friends or family. Or you can simply take your food to go and have a picnic in a park instead!
