Tallinn | Restaurants & Cafes | Stylish & Cosy

Tucked into part of a medieval town wall on Toompea, the family-run Bogapott is a cosy, otherworldly hideaway. Fresh, flaky pastries and sandwiches are the speciality in this combination café, art shop and ceramics studio. [...]

Bonaparte
Nestled in a beautiful, 17th-century building, Bonaparte certainly has a refined atmosphere, but it’s a casual and surprisingly affordable place to sip earl grey and sample the buttery croissants and other home-made pastries. Sit and watch the world go by, or check out one of the revolving ar [...]

Because it's all about the love isn't it. This quaint little café kind of bleeds romantic, from the ultra sinful chocolate cakes and the rich coffees to the little cans of proseco and gold framed everything, Amore really spreads the love. Quite a nice view onto Niguliste church too.

C'est La Vie
This swanky establishment’s 1930’s style interior will have you dancing the Charleston. The cuisine certainly has a French bent to it, and the romantic ambience makes this a great choice for a date. [...]

People squeeze into this quaint, frilly, 19th-century style café for two reasons: One is that it has its own master Chocolatier who cooks up truffles from scratch, and the other is the unbeatably cosy atmosphere. Be warned that seats fill up fast and that during slow times they occasionally close a little early.

Vene 6 (in the courtyard)

tel. (+372) 641 80 61

Open 09:00 - 22:00
Brought to you by the same fine chocolatiers as Pierre located in the courtyard just down the street, the atmosphere at Josephine is quite a bit different a little swankier, and oh man, you have got to try the handmade chocolate. This is not a bad place to indulge your yourself in decadence.

Vene 16

tel. (+372) 641 82 91

Open 10:00 - 22:00
One of the best cafés in town for ambience, Kehrweider is a snug warren of cave-like stone rooms filled with quirky, old furniture. Excellent gourmet coffees, handmade chocolates and the Town Hall Square location are other plusses, but be warned it can get crowded here.

A sad story. Renovation has turned what was Tallinn's favourite artsy, medieval-style beer hall into a tourist-oriented café, which unfortunately lacks any of its former character. Look for simple, Estonian and international dishes on the somewhat pricey menu. [...]

This gem of a café located in the sparkling new Solaris centre has great views, fresh foods and above all, killer desserts. Did we mention the awesome desserts? Because if you come here you should really try some of their excellent desserts. [...]

A seething den of flowers and femininity, this cutesy little café was once home to the medieval artist Michel Sittow and specialises in delicious cakes, such as the Pavlova tort and Marnier biscuit roll, all made right on the spot.

Rae Kohvik is a café by day and a wine bar by night. Though any place with a location right on Town Hall Square might seem like a tourist trap, this one is worth visiting for its pleasant, antique-themed interior and Paulig coffees. Pancakes and full meals available too. [...]

Reval Café Müürivahe 14
The modish combination of jagged, medieval brick and cushy furnishings could only work in a place like Tallinn. Fine for intense philosophical debates or dessert. If debating has gotten you truly hungry, check out the restaurant in the back.
