Estonian restaurants in Europe

  1. A

    Vanaema Juures

    Vanaema Juures (Grandma's Place) was one of Tallinn's most stylish restaurants in the 1930s and still ranks as a top choice for Estonian fare. The antique-set dining room is slightly formal and the menu, whilst specialising in authentic dishes such as pigs' trotters, has plenty of options (even for vegetarians).

    Eesti Maja

    This fun folksy restaurant is a good place to sample authentic Estonian fare. Traditional favourites like blood sausage, jellied pork and marinated eel aren't for the timid, but there are plenty of tasty dishes for the unadventurous (salmon, steak, etc). There's a small, weekday lunch buffet, which is a good place to sample the goods.

  3. Restaurant Central

    This elegant dining room offers tasty varied selections such as farfalle with smoked cheese, and oven-baked trout. The music is bad, but the service is friendly, and the crème brûlée is not to be missed. There's also an outdoor terrace and an atmospheric bar downstairs.

  4. Grand Holm Marina

    Haapsalu's best restaurant has an outdoor terrace overlooking the marina and a beautifully set dining room. The food is delicious. For something different try the juniper-smoked duck breast with polenta, followed by warm rhubarb tart.

    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.

    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.

    Õuemaja

    This popular no-frills restaurant serves decent, not terribly healthy food in a hurry. Noted writer and linguist Johannes Aavik and his musician cousin Joosep Aavik once lived here.

  8. Võsu Kõrts

    Võsu's best restaurant is a fine wooden tavern with indoor/outdoor seating. Smoked-fish salad, roasted codfish and grilled lamb are among the choices. Live music some nights.

    Veski

    This cosy multilevel restaurant is set inside a windmill; unfortunately, the chef is wildly inconsistent. The menu features grilled fish, roasted meats and other dishes.

  10. Viitna Kõrts

    Almost opposite the eastbound bus stop at Viitna is this reconstruction of an 18th-century tavern serving a bare-bones buffet, with a more peaceful restaurant next door.

    Near the church and museum in the island centre, this food shop has a pleasant restaurant with a patio out the back. It's Kihnu's best place to pop in for a meal.
