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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

As you're walking by cafe August you'll see those really comfortable-looking colorful pillows on their deep window sill and you can't help but to step inside. This little retro-style cafe offers high-quality coffee and a cosy environment. They also have a simple yet tasty menu and delicious lunch specials on weekdays for only €4–5.

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.

Italian and Nordic aren't exactly terms that get along well. Yet by some stroke of insane genius, Sfäär has found a way to force these to into a fusion. The result is a truly modern cuisine, presented in a contemporary and sleek setting with some tastefully incorporated retro elements.
