Such an atmospheric place, especially for a date, fireplace and old stones making a good impact on this. Service was incredibly good, food was graceful and evening went smoothly.

Above all praise! Great tasting menu, great wine selection and great service! Thanks to the chef and all the staff of the restaurant and hotel! Recommended for everyone to visit.

White linnen restaurant with waiters below 21 years old. Great food! Nice plates and good tastes. The chef knows how to make great dishes. Unfortunately the chain from the ideas to the guest is not flawless. Our last dish came out cold and dry, but would have been excellent with adequate timing. The wine pairing was dubious. A few of the pairings was fantastic, and others where far below the level we paid for. One in our group couldn't drink red wine, and they could not offer a wine package to the degustation Menu. When asking for an alternative, the question from the waiter was about price of the wine not about what would match the menu. They gave us expectations from the prices, presentation and style that they didn't deliver.

In the opus of fine dining, every element plays a vital note, building towards a crescendo of gastronomic delight. At Stenhus, the anticipation began on a high octave, drawing me into the intricate composition of its tasting menu, harmonized with carefully selected wines. The overture, comprising the initial courses, sang a melodious tune of culinary mastery, invoking a rhapsody of flavors and sensations. Yet, as the beef course took center stage, it struck a discordant chord. Its overcooked and toughened texture was reminiscent of a missed beat in an otherwise captivating symphony. The ambient backdrop, pivotal to this orchestration, proved jarringly out of tune. What could have been a refined ensemble of sounds was, instead, a cacophony of popular hits awkwardly reimagined in bossa nova and smooth jazz. The attempt, although novel, lacked the sophistication and grace befitting such an illustrious establishment. Amidst these dissonant notes, the maestro of the evening, our host, stood out. His attentive and professional demeanor gracefully conducted our experience, guiding us with finesse and poise. When the veal, poised as the penultimate act, made its entrance, my palate was still overshadowed by the beef’s misstep, compelling a melancholic adagio retreat from the culinary stage. The dessert, though elegantly presented, awaited its audience in vain. The wine pairing, envisioned as a melodious accompaniment, was more a shrill piccolo than a rich cello, echoing more of vinegar’s sharpness than the anticipated mellifluous undertones. In closing, the Stenhus performance was a blend of enchanting high notes and jarring dissonances. The service, particularly from our host, served as the evening’s saving grace, a virtuoso amidst a chorus of varied talents.

The feel is definitely formal here but no one raised eyebrows when i came in in shorts. Staff is super polite. I got two bonus appetizers which tasted both great, especially the dark fruit bread. Then came the best, the smoked eel, finished with the blow torch. As a main i got the pike perch which was good, maybe though i would swap the cauliflower with something else. All in all was great.

Very lovely meal. Simple and elegant menu. More your $$$$ meal but you get gastronomy in your plate. Wine prices are a bit excessive. Food wise was pure pleasure. And you have the added charm of being in a cosy cellar of a historical building that is also one of the best hotels in Tallinn. A boutique hotel on top of it.

📍located in hotel Shlössle, in the centre of Old town 🖼very nice, medieval interior, fireplace and walls, give you a feeling you're back in centuries, very cosy place 🤵‍♂good service, very attentive and helpful waiter 🍛small offer of meals in menu, food was tasty , though everything seemed to lack salt. Portions were small but enough 🍷good wines, the waiter knows what to offer with your dish, we trusted and didn't fail😌 🍰small offer of desserts, but served very nicely and tasty😋 💶a bit overpriced, even considering the location and service

Heavenly tasting! How beetroot can taste so delicous! And celery.

My husband and I (from the US) were visiting Tallinn for one night and went here expecting an upscale, modern take on Northern European cuisine. We were completely blown away with all of our expectations surpassed. The food was exquisite, full of well balanced and creative dishes. The service was outstanding and the ambience in the cellar dining room was perfect for what the proprietors were trying to do. Furthermore, the price point is incredibly reasonable. I’ve eaten in Michelin-starred restaurants and Stenhus met that caliber. I would strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone in Tallinn and will absolutely come here again the next time we visit.

A really nice cosy and somewhat up scall place. Very nice ambiance and good service.

Amazing classy restaurant underground surrounded by stone and a warm fireplace. Staff was very friendly and showed us the wine cellar in their cigar smoking lounge.

Beautiful, posh place and good atmosphere. The waitress was very friendly and nice, always attentive. The food was very good as well. I ordered raviolis as a main course, which had a good taste, but weren't anything extraordinary. My husband ordered dear and that was excellent, I really recommend it. Finding the location wasn't that easy. You have to enter through the Schlössle hotel first and then ask the receptionist to guide you.

Lovely atmosphere great character and amazing cuisine, The sampling menu with the wine pairings was just perfect

We asked for the restaurant at the hotel lobby. The restaurant is downstairs. We were asked to check the menu before going in. We mentioned we already saw it online and we knew what we wanted. The employee at the reception insisted we look at it (maybe to make sure we saw the prices in advance???). He then walked us and sat us almost at the end of the room, which we found strange as the restaurant was empty. He was very professional and attentive. Even offered to take our coats and hang them by the entrance. Once seated we were greeted by a server. She asked if we wanted gas or still water and showed us the wine menu. We ordered wine and it took a while for us to see her again. When she returned we asked some questions about the menu which she answered in a simple manner. We orders the borscht and entrees. Most of our food took a long time to arrive and we barely could see the servers. When another one came with our soups we told him we had less than 45 to catch a ferry. The food still took a while to arrive but he called us a taxi which was waiting for us at the hotel entrance by the time we were leaving. I thought 90 minutes would’ve been plenty to eat here but unfortunately they weren’t. Service was good but very slow. The attention to every detail in each dish ordered was excellent. The location was impecable and the decor impressive. We were celebrating a birthday and it was definitely the perfect atmosphere. $$$$$

The food is quite good on this restaurant but it was not served warm and the portions are very small. The waiter was not interested in our table, did not bring the wine list, argued with another waiter and gave lousy service. I recommend to visit another restaurant!

Incredibly delicious restaurant. The risotto and beef were just great. This is one of those restaurants where you eat everything on your plate. Large selection of dishes, friendly staff, pleasant music) The kitchen is beyond praise, amazing presentations!

A beautiful restaurant, with delicious food. The menu was a delight with some real care and attention taken when designing it. The meals were absolutely spectacular, bursting with refined tastes. I couldn’t recommend more. I’ve dined in many restaurants and this was one of the most memorable meals I’ve had in a while. What an incredible dinner.

We had a lovely dinner as a couple here. Our waiter Aleksei recommended us the Tasting Menu, which included a 5 course meal. The dishes were very nice from both an aesthetical and culinary perspective. We also had the different wines which were perfectly paired with each course. Although normally in a restaurant almost nobody pays particular attention to the bread and butter served before meals, the selection of bread (housemade, rye bread and onion bread with beetroot and truffle butter) was also a highlight (which apparently you can also buy separately as a loaf if you like). We noticed that both our waiter and his female colleague were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the food and pairings and also attentive throughout the whole evening to make sure that every guest has a lovely evening. The setting in the restaurant was cozy, the design tasteful and everything very clean.

Exelent, atmosphere, staff, service, food, everything is great

Had meal Was fine. Then this matcha cream dessert. Was meh. Only the starter was good homemade bread and butter.

Excellent restaurant. Ideal service and beautiful interior. Real fireplace inside! The food was very tasty and beautiful. Portions were not huge but just enough.

Very good restaurant with amazing atmosphere. Food is very good. However, the wine selection and the recommendations were not up to our expectations. The cocktails are way below average.

Gourmet food, extremely tasty. Good and seamless service. Cozy medieval atmosphere. A recommendation for a special occasion.

Very nice restaurant, cozy atmosphere, professional staff and fantastic food. An experience to remember.

Delicious food. We had Degustation menu with all kind of Estonian traditional food which was served on different dishes with great food settlement and colouring. It is a must to try it if you want to taste Estonian food and hospitality.

Not perfect, but you can def feel they were trying as part of the 5-star Schlössle Hotel. The online booking system didn’t work well, as when I arrived they told me as a solo diner I can’t order tasting menu, but that’s exactly what I booked online. But they kindly cooked for me in the end admitting this is their error. The food was okay, some hit, some missed, but overall a nice experience. The best to me was actually the beetroot butter and bread.

One of the best restaurants we've ever visited. We had 3 courses each so 6 different dishes and they were all amazing! Will 100% return the next time we visit Estonia!
