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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

For those interested in modern Estonian cuisine this place is sure to offer some fairly interesting experiences. It's all the more surprising that the restaurant sports a very cool rustic looking interior, making it ideal for long conversations over a glass (or several) of wine.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you're a proper beer lover and we mean a proper one (binge drinking doesn't exactly qualify) – then we urge you to drop by Drink. You won't find a better place. It has a fun atmosphere to boot. Drink also hosts the acclaimed fortnightly quizzes which help people battle the stress of their dull and grey working days.

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.

Pizza Grande

We've seen places in Tallinn that sell €5 pizzas that only loosely fit the definition of pizza. Pizza Grande however, will not disappoint. With pizzas ranging from “big” to “bigger”, it's one of the more reasonably priced joints in Tallinn. Beware though that it's not the Italian style thin crust pizza, but more of an American style one.

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.
