Located atop a massive flight of stairs on Rüütli tänav, the Balkan is a fairly accurate rendition of a small tavern in the Balkans – only with less tobacco smoke. Expect a hearty cuisine consisting of fried meats and cheeses, with the odd vegetable thrown in to ward off the high cholesterol. The food is decent, although we’re not entirely sure why both fries and rice accompany a main course. We suggest you create your own meal by ordering mains and sides separately.
