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.

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.

What makes Cafe Moon even more interesting is that its neat interior is in contrast to the surrounding neighbourhood. The cafe is situated in a place where architectural modernism clashes violently with the dilapidated docks.

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.

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.

This little place might not catch your attention when walking by, but it will surely surprise you once you step inside. Next to a relaxed and warm atmosphere they offer top-notch service and food. Great for a romantic date, business meeting or a family dinner. Be sure to book a table as they're quite busy.

The food is absolutely delicious as you would expect from Roman Zaštšerinski and has no particular focus on any national cuisine. That's what makes it awesome though – you can just order what you feel like any particular moment from Asian-like noodle dishes to scallops to excellent duck breast!

It's one of the best burger places in town and the best in Mustamäe. They attend food festivals which has started a cult following among many foodies craving for not good but great burgers. The location is convenient with parking outside & quickly filling and emptying seats that make the wait worthwhile.

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.

The colourful rooms express Estonians' love for ecologically renovated old buildings and rustic interiors. It's one of the few places on Vene street where you can actually afford to stuff yourself with all kinds of yummy dishes and roll home later. Great for vegetarians too!

Grandmothers quite like cooking for their grandchildren. And while it can take some time for Estonians to warm up to you enough to invite you to their grandma's place, this Grandma's Place will let people in regardless of their familial relations. It is what it is – a no-nonsense seat by a table with a warm meal.

Go there for the informal urban Parisian vibe and perfectly paired food and wines brought to you all the way from France. All the classics like onion soup, coq au vin, tartiflette and crème brûlée – they have them all. For those only looking to have a drink they’ve just opened a lounge area for enjoying cocktails as well.

If you are not planning to go as far as Georgia itself, then you'll be happy to know that they serve all the Georgian classics, like kharcho, khachapuri and khinkhali, not to mention local wines from the region. It's waaaay cheaper than any downtown restaurant.

Having been selected as one of Estonia's top restaurants on several occasions, their emphasis is on fresh ingredients and seasonal dishes. It might be a bit pricy for everyday dinner, but certainly great for those special occasions.
