Embark on a culinary journey through Tallinn with our restaurant guide. From the minimalistic charm of Nordic eateries to the exotic allure of ethnic cuisines, every dish tells a story. Indulge in Michelin-starred excellence or explore locally recommended hidden treasures. It’s all here, and whether it’s more of a feast for the eyes or something that will fuel an army, nobody will go home hungry.
In Tallinn it seems they grant a new restaurant licence every week and sometimes we do miss one, but we've tried our best to make recommendations. Service in restaurants is improving for the better, but it’s still not perfect. Due to the popularity of food delivery apps, like Bolt Food and Wolt, waiting times may be longer than usual, even if the restaurant appears to be empty. In pubs, you'll likely need to order and pay at the bar. Service in the centre is almost always English-speaking, and foreign-language menus are the norm – though the translations can be a little creative at times. VAT (24%) is always included, and while tipping hasn’t traditionally been expected, you may now occasionally find a gratuity added to the bill or be prompted to leave a tip.
