    Kierrä tämä paikka kaukaa, ainoa mikä paikassa "hyvää" on sijainti ja sisäänheittäjät. Huonoin pihvi ja burgeri mitä ikinä syÜty, lisäksi tÜrkeän ylihintainen. Ei mitään gluteenittomia vaihtoehtoja.

    For me food needed more spices, but my friends loved that food. We could listen a very good singer that night! Dessert was great, like you can see from pic. And the view is great also!

    Absolutely a tourist trap but nice enough to stop for a radler. Lovely view of the square but don't waste your time with the food.

    I had a delicious salmon for dinner. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

    Cozy place with warm atmosphere. Located right in the city's main square across the historic city hall. The menu has some nice Estonian cuisines along with other options. Staff is super friendly but it's a bit hard to get a table sometimes because of the optimal location. The place is also a bit more expensive than other places in the square. Food was also super good and recommended.

    Great food, nice staff. A bit touristic like all other places around the square. Nice spot with a good view of the town hall.

    had a late reservation at 20:30, and they let us stay well past their closing hour, of which they didn't notify us -- showing how much they care about their visitors' experience. the service was absolutely perfect, with a very friendly and fun waiter. the food we had was a special menu during restaurant week, however the waiter said some dishes are tests for new menu dishes -- hopefully they will all get on the new menu! great place, will visit again.

    Great food and excellent service, the live music was a bit loud for comfortable chatting at the table, though.

    Very good reception and nice interiors. Outdoor seating is recommended whenever possible, to have an excellent view of the old-town square. Not expensive and good for just coffee other food with drinks.

    Crème brÝlÊe 5/5 in 2020. Edit 25.7.2022 Crème brÝlÊe was not the same anymore, 3/5. The food was mediocre, prices high and service could have been better. The atmosphere and the warm summer evening was quite nice though.

    Nice location, but really overpriced. We had some snacks there and some drinks. The location is nice, the quality ok, the service started rocky (long waiting time at the beginning), but also became ok. What is really incredible: the prices. Even for such a central location it is totally overpriced - €8.4 for 0.5l beer, €10 (!) for an Aperol Sprizz and €95 (!!) for 3 persons and just some snacks is hard to take.

    Unfriendly, lousy service and exorbitant prices. We made a stop with a group of 13 people. Once having been seated outside by the staff, we waited 30 minutes to place our orders. Two of us went inside to ask if we could order something. The rude answer was "wait a few minutes". In the end, we left after 45 minutes without being noticed by the staff again. At least, we saved a lot of money. Prices on the chart are obscene, even for a touristic place. Avoid going there.

    Laid-back atmosphere and friendly staff made for a not-too-rushed dinner. The salmon chowder was very good. Portion of meatballs with mashed potatoes and veggies was enormous. The sour pickles were divine, as were the beets. Nice pancake with strawberry and whipped cream for dessert, which our table shared. I enjoyed a glass of house red.

    Delicious breakfast and nice people. I liked it a lot!

    We were a group of 6 waiting at a table to order, enjoying the sun. They never came, we waited 20 minutes and they never came to take our orders. Even if we did signs and ask them to order, they ignored us. Really bad experience !

    Excellent breakfast! Opened at 0930 - for about 10€ we had meat, cheese, bacon, sausage, omelet, croissants, crepes and coffee. All prepared perfectly!

    Is located right in the old town square, so it has a quite nice view.

    Small restaurant located right in the main square of Tallinn’s Old Town. Great views. Food was alright, local options available.

  • 4/5 Joost N. 1 year ago on Google
    Fine restaurant for lunch in Tallinn. It is situated right next to the town hall, so a great location. The garlic bread was very tasty with a lot of garlic. I would definitely recommend this for a starter. Both the risotto and pasta with chicken were tasty and creamy. The atmosphere was not very special, this is probably because of the time of year (may). Prices are a little high, probably because of its location.
