17 Dishes to Eat in Tallinn, Estonia! Food Guide 2023

Coming to Tallinn and looking for delicious food places? In this gastro episode, I visit the biggest street food market in Tallinn and try some Estonian dishes ( who knew that deep-fried herring could be so good?). I check out delicious restaurants in the Old Town that have been awarded MICHELIN Bib Gourmand for their high-quality food at an accessible price point. I also travel to the nearby neighbourhoods to check out restaurants that are loved by locals.
After eating for 48 hours nonstop I can say with confidence that the Estonian gastro scene is booming and I'm very excited for you to taste it for yourselves.

I live in Tallinn and I haven't been to most of these :) But I can recommend some bangers (I'll use their google maps names):
Pub Kompressor - for the amazing pancakes
Restoran Olde Hansa - for the traditional mushroom soup in bread bowls
Pizza Americana - for their nice thick delicious pizzas
Reval Cafe - for the atmospheric cafe (expensive tho, but to look around its free)
Kanuti Ramen Bar - for their scrumptious ramen and lemonades which are made like cocktails
All of these places are in or around the old town, don't miss out!
