Frugal lunches

Estonians are notoriously cautious spenders when it comes to weekday lunches, so most cafés and pubs offer a päevapraad (daily special) - typically a meat-and-potatoes ensemble for about 50 kr. Aside from that, here are our favourite cheap lunch destinations:

6 Pelmeeni
6 Pelmeeni
In Estonia, pelmeenid (dumplings) have long been revered as the ultimate in frugal foods, heck, just ask any student. This café offers a choice of six different dumplings and a bunch of delectable pancakes. All items are sold by weight (10kr/100g), the more you eat the more you pay. [...]

Café EAT
Café EAT
After all one can never have too many dumpling and doughnut cafes. EAT has the feel of a student café and the prices to match, where else in old town can you get half a litre of cider for 30kr. All dumplings and doughnuts are sold by weight (7 - 10kr/100g), but they also offer a daily dish for [...]

Karja Kelder
A good old Tallinn favorite, this cellar-pub serves up hearty Estonian fare to the hungry lunch crowd for a mere pitance. The daily dish costs only 42kr, the soup 20kr, but you can have them both for the low price of 54kr.

Kompressor
Enormous portions of pancakes (in Estonia they're not just for breakfast) can be had here for 35 - 55kr. Fillings like garlic cheese, shrimp and smoked turkey make them a hearty, if not over-sized meal. [...]

Open 11:00 - 22:00
Mr. Robinson Café
Other than offering a pretty decent daily dish, this all-in-one entertainment complex is a little odd. With its nautical theme and the occasional erotic dancer waiting for the Atlantida club to open up downstairs, you never quite know what to expect.

St. Patrick's

Von Krahl
This live music club has become a popular daytime spot for an economical meal. Even a half-portion of the various, filled pancakes is enough to cure the hungries. [...]

Zanzibar City
If you happen to be near Swissotel or the Stockmann dept. store, this might be just the place to grab a quick, cheap lunch. It does kind of remind one of a cheesy strip-club though and also doubles as some sort of a night spot - one that we won't be able to vouch for. [...]
