When the US vice president’s wife has lunch at the same place as you: Restaurant Rataskaevu 16 (31. July 2017)
When we approached the restaurant, it was surrounded by bodyguards. Upon entering the restaurant we were asked what we wanted here, where we were from which felt a bit weird. After stating that I had booked a table, I was asked under what name and was finally let inside and led to the back of […]
Absolutely delicious honey beer: Olde Hansa Medieval Restaurant (31. July 2017)
About two years ago I spent a couple of days in Tallinn and given I was close to it (from Helsinki it only takes about 2 hours by ferry), I decided it was time for a day-trip to Tallinn to enjoy that tasty “honey beer (0,5l)” (EUR 5.90) again. The place was this time actually […]
2. July 2015: Restaurant Tchaikovsky @ Hotel Telegraaf
If you are looking for something special and are ready to pay up, I can definitely recommend you the Restaurnat Tchaikovsky at the Hotel Telegraaf. Make sure you book a table in advance – especially if you are there as a tourist and walk around in comfortable clothes. I’ve been looked at like an alien […]
2. July 2015: Restaurant Katharinenthal
If you manage to visit Tallinn you also have to pay a short visit to Catherine’s Palace – lovely place! And it is absolutely okay to have a coffee at the Restaurant Katharinenthal. The “double espresso” (EUR 2.60) is strong and definitely provides you with the energy to keep going! The place seems to be […]
2. July 2015: Restaurant Olde Hansa
The Restaurant Olde Hansa was recommended by a friend for some middle age style restaurant experience – and it definitely is that! While it is for obvious reasons very touristic, it is still worth visiting. The platters they serve are not only generous but also tasty. I went for the “reval’s plate for tasting (juniper-flavoured […]
2. July 2015: Restaurant Senso @ Hotel Radisson Blu Olümpia
The breakfast (EUR 21.00) at the Restaurant Senso in the Hotel Radisson Blu Olümpia is absolutely fair for what you pay as you can pick from a selection of various juices … … cold cuts and cheese … … fresh vegetables … … as well as salmon … … cereals … … yoghurts … … […]
1. July 2015: Restaurant Kuldse Notsu Körts
It was the first time I have ever tried “pig’s ears” … and I must say I was not entirely to my gusto. The “crispy pig’s ears served with sauce” (EUR 7.50) are basically really just crunchy somethings (which you had no chance to identify in case you have never had pig’s ears before) with […]
1. July 2015: Restaurant Bocca
The “salmon carpaccio with avocado and strawberry salad” (EUR 12.00) not only sounded very tasty but it was actually quite refreshing. Especially the sweetness of the strawberries together with the fattiness of the avocado and the salmon made it a very sound and surprising dish. As a main course I then went for the “black […]
