Café Wilde
This richly decorated place serves good coffees, decadent homemade cakes and light sandwiches. Its namesake is Peter Ernst Wilde, who opened a publishing house on the premises in the 18th century, though the pub also pays tribute to two literary Wildes: Oscar Wilde and Eduard Wilde. For heartier dining (and drinking) head to the upstairs pub.

University Café
This old-world café with beautiful wooden floors and an outdoor patio is one of the gems of Tartu. Palm trees, high ceilings and black-and-white photographs give a colonial charm to the upstairs airy space. Buffet meals are charged by the kilo. Downstairs there's a simpler buffet (decent breakfasts), also with outdoor patio, that makes a good spot for coffee or a quick meal.

Suudlevad Tudengid
One of several outdoor cafés on the main square, this one serves nicely prepared international fare (pasta, gazpacho, burgers, mushroom risotto). Downstairs there's a cosy brick-lined café. The restaurant incidentally means 'Kissing Students' - presumably named after the fountain rather than the sometimes frisky customers.

Maailm
The old wooden floors, beamed ceilings and wildly decorated walls may make you feel like you've stumbled across Greg Brady's secret Tartu hideaway. The food is just as eclectic: curry chicken, fish soup, vegetarian enchiladas and milkshakes.

La Dolce Vita
Thin-crust pizzas come straight from the wood-burning oven at this charming pizzeria. You'll also find pastas, salads and classic but casual décor (red-and-white checked tablecloths, Fellini posters). There's a patio at the back.

Gruusia Saatkond
A rustic but colourfully decorated dining room sets the scene for feasting on hearty plates of Georgian cuisine. Eggplant with walnuts, hatšapuri, trout with walnuts and shashlik are among the favourites.

Tsink Plekk Pang
Named after the zinc buckets that are suspended from the ceiling as lampshades, this warmly lit Chinese pub serves decent meals with plenty of vegetarian fare. The outdoor patio up top is particularly inviting.

Püssirohukelder
Set majestically in a cavernous old gunpowder cellar, this place doubles as a boisterous pub and it's a good choice for tasty meat and fish dishes. A more secluded wine cellar joins the space.
