Tallinn | Restaurants & Cafes | Carnivore

Imagine a huge, mirrored ball and a keyboardist playing a deafening rendition of Elton John's 'Nikita' to an empty room. Otherwise this might be a worthy place, with date palms adding a quasi-Egyptian touch. The food at the self-proclaimed 'grill house' is a& [...]

Goodwin has certainly tried hard to be the best steakhouse in Tallinn and it probably is, even though it’s really the only one. The interior is certainly rich and woody like an old ‘men only’ club, the service is efficient and the imported cuts of beef are some of the finest we’ve seen in town. There are a few quirks though that prevent Goodwin from earning ‘top marks’. The side dishes cost extra, the steak wasn’t cooked to our specifications and they asked us to cut the steak in half to complete the cooking process. Other than that the beef was very flavorful.

Open:

A huge step up from the typical throw-the-pork-on-the-fire grill house, Daube is a roomy, two-floor affair decorated in a warm style that's the very definition of 'smart casual'. Expect smiling service and happy tastebuds. Find it in a nicely redone little house just off Harju tänav. [...]

The sign outside offering 'pippuripihvi + olut' (Finnish for 'peppersteak and beer') tells you all you need to know about Kuluaar's target market. This modern - and eerily spartan - cellar venue cooks up a small selection of typical meat and fish dishes. Service is fast and food is actually pretty good, but if you do decide to eat here we suggest you do so during the patio season. [...]

The name rhymes with Radisson, as in Radisson BLU, the towering hotel to which this two-storey grill-bar is attached. Gigantic windows, slick design and TVs tuned to satellite channels give it that familiar international feel. In addition to pricier items from the gril [...]

Overtly geared toward tourists, the Monk's Cellar is essentially a basement bar turned upscale by the clever use of table linen and glasses. Meat and fish dishes are served up along with awful, saxophone versions of 70s hits. The salmon in foil was mediocre and the service indifferent. [...]

A diligent, carved wooden waiter spends all day long on Viru tänav trying to entice people into this cellar restaurant, where meaty items like entrecote and steak dominate the menu. Other choices such as a vegetable wok are available to the less protein inclined. We've heard a few good reviews about the food and service as of late and the kids play area and eight-page children's menu certainly make this a good stop for families.

With its enviable location right on Old Town’s main square, Revalia is never wanting for customers. The interior décor makes it look a bit like an art shop, but there’s no mistaking the menu - tenderloin steaks and other grill items of the type that are popular around this par [...]

The Steakhouse’s odd location inside the Soviet-era Central Post Office building and its early nineties décor leaves a little to be desired, regardless of the fact that they have quite an extensive menu loaded with beef. The food, which reminded us more of a glorified pub meal is no [...]

Narva mnt. 1 (ground floor of post office)

Open:

In terms of atmosphere, this location in the old stone building on Mere pst. beats the Narva mnt. one hands down. You can expect the same level of service and quality though, which, depending on your personal taste, could either be great or somewhat lacking. As the name suggests, steak certainly do [...]
