Guidebook for Tallinn
Food Scene
Great breakfast, they use organic eggs. My favourite from the savory menu is their warm goat-cheese salad, but they are most famous for their cakes. The fluffy raspberry-merengue roll is legendary!
Table reservation for dinner is recommended. Great view on central Tallinn. In summertime they are also open on the rooftop of Solaris Centre. www.kohvikkomeet.ee

A medieval tavern. It's a step back in time - there's no electricity, it's all candlelit and gentle music is played in the background. The menu is small but very tasty, soup to start and then pies and sausages for the main, cooked to perfection. Truly budget-friendly - the most expensive item in the food menu costs 10 euros, pies are 1.50 and bowl of soup 3 euros. And it's all in the very heart of Tallinn, on the first floor of the Town Hall! PS: The mulled wine is a must too! Open Mo-Sun 9-24
