NOP’s courtyard appeals to visitors stopping on the way to Kadriorg. Food opinions differ, from praise to complaints about weak flavour and unevenly cooked poached eggs. Even a guest who enjoyed the food found service slow.
Põhjala combines a brewery, tap room and barbecue kitchen. Guests single out dark beers and the brewery tour. Food extends beyond meat: a visitor choosing vegetarian and vegan dishes was also pleased, and the chocolate dessert receives praise.
Adjarian khachapuri and Georgian wine leave strong impressions at Tbilisi on Pikk. Khinkali divide opinion: juicy for some, dry and brothless for another. Service accounts range from warm hospitality to slow attention and pushy upselling.
Beer, a terrace and views around Balti Jaam draw guests to Humalakoda. Food and friendly welcomes receive praise, although one terrace visit ended with a long wait for dessert and the feeling of being forgotten.
Guests praise grilled meat at the Lasnamäe Armudu and visit in groups. Service can lag: one diner waited half an hour for wine. Music and dance entertainment divide opinion, making a quiet conversation harder on those evenings.
Regulars like Pizza Americana’s generously topped pizzas. Service and dough receive mixed reports: praise for prompt ordering sits alongside an account of a wait and disappointing cheese and pizza base.
Gorgonzola focaccia, salmon-and-lemon fettuccine and steak on a hot stone stand out at La Prima. Guests describe a lively room and attentive staff. One was particularly glad to have booked ahead when the restaurant filled up.
Juicy shashlik is a specific reason guests give for visiting Hiiu Resto. One liked the food and service despite a canteen-like interior. Another account is much less favourable: a two-hour wait for garlic bread and chicken wings.
Café Narva is appreciated for meat pies, buns and an unhurried coffee. Returning guests remember familiar pastry flavours and affordable prices. The appeal is a simple breakfast or a slice of cake in a calm setting.
Pizza in a basement dining room on Suur-Karja, with music, generous toppings and friendly staff even on a busy evening. One regular has returned for years. A smaller disappointment: the smoked cheese in a starter lacked its expected flavour.
A neighbourhood grill restaurant on Tammsaare with a home-like setting. Some guests find the food worth its price; another calls it ordinary. Booking helped on a busy day, while service received both warm praise and a comment about coolness.
Cats are the main reason to visit Nurri. Guests describe sociable animals, a spacious room and friendly staff, with a separate admission charge. One found food portions small for the price; eating is secondary to spending time with the cats.
Troika on Town Hall Square pairs Russian cooking with staff costumes, rustic decor and entertainment. Pickles, potatoes with mushrooms and lamb pelmeni receive praise. One diner found the dumplings small but particularly enjoyed their broth.
Steaks, wine and friendly service earned Meat & Wine positive accounts from groups of friends. Another visit disappointed: beef cheek differed from the menu photograph, and the waiter’s explanation did little to resolve the guest’s concern.
Staap’s burgers come with plenty of cabbage and sauce. Guests note quick collection and large portions, but value and quality divide opinion: one disliked the sour-cream sauce, while another found the bun hard.
Tommi Grill on Viru väljak gets praise for quick service, chicken burgers and substantial portions. A family liked the children’s menu; another diner received more fries than needed. Guests describe a clean room and welcoming staff.
Viru Lokaal combines televised sport, beer and filling pub food. Pork with sauerkraut, herring and rye bread stand out in guest accounts, along with a warm welcome. One visitor had to wait for a table on a busy evening.
Coffee near Town Hall Square, retro music and breakfast shape guests’ impressions of Kofeman. A salmon-and-avocado bruschetta received measured praise. The coffee break and setting are the clearest attractions in these accounts.
Diavola and Margherita pizzas, chicken-and-mushroom pasta and homemade lemonade get praise on Lai Street. One family had a comfortable visit with a child. Italian music and friendly staff complete the picture of an easy pizza lunch.
FARM’s central kitchen, duck and wine-paired dinner stay in guests’ memories. Staff leave differing impressions, from a warm welcome to service that feels overly formal or cold. The dining room is described as old-fashioned but pleasant.
Ribs, wings with blue-cheese dip and burgers are specific successes in One Sixty’s guest accounts. Portions are described as generous and service unobtrusive. The industrial interior does not suit everyone, although the food wins one sceptical diner over.
Platz attracts lunch and dinner guests in Rotermanni. Visitors praise well-presented beef tenderloin, friendly staff and the surrounding architecture. One practical reservation in the accounts read is a stuffy dining room.
Octopus ramen stands out at Kolm Sibulat for its tender meat and rich broth. Staff explain dishes in detail; one guest also enjoyed a version with gluten-free noodles.
The terrace’s sea view is a reason to choose Tuljak. Staff attract even more praise: guests describe experienced, attentive service and a successful dinner with friends.
