Restaurants & Cafes in Tallinn

Tallinn’s tourist boom has been both good and bad for the local dining scene. On one hand, there are more decent, high-quality restaurants and cafés opening up every month. Inevitably, there are also more tourist traps taking advantage of the feeding frenzy - Viru street and Town Hall Square are particularly notorious in this regard. Service is nearly always English-speaking and foreign-language menus are the rule, although the words are not always spelled correctly. VAT (18%) is always included and service is never added to the bill.
