Eesti Maja Restaurant
A well-known restaurant serving top-notch Estonian food, Eesti Maja presents a wide variety of traditional dishes that might sound strange but are great when you actually try them. Specials include many national dishes that have been “peasant food” in Estonia for centuries, and are here given an updated interpretation. Favourite dishes here include marinated eel, blood sausage, jellied pork, tongue in horseradish sauce, and Baltic sprats with bacon.

Lydia
Named after one of Estonia’s famous female poets, Lydia Koidula, this restaurant is one of the classiest in the Kadriorg district. The food is fancy and gourmet, made by expert chefs from only the best ingredients. Some of the featured dishes include salmon with mango puree, potato ragout with crayfish tails, anise sauce and puff paste, and ostrich filet with blackcurrant port sauce and baked liver paste. If that sounds too rich for you, however, there is a low calorie menu available. The décor here is elegant and understated, and there is a fireplace to make it extra cozy in the winter, as well as a lovely winter garden. There is often live music on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, usually something classical and soothing.

Olde Hansa
Dining here is a special experience, as everything in the restaurant is in medieval style. The dedication to detail is impressive, with medieval-style murals on the walls, boar skin covers on the benches, tables lit only by candlelight, and the staff in medieval costumes. The food is of course medieval as well, and the menu presents a delicious and exciting array of dishes from centuries ago. The recipes used are actual historical recipes, with the same ingredients and even the same cooking methods used in the Middle Ages. Round off your meal with a bit of spiced wine or mead, drunk out of handmade glass goblets. Adjoining the restaurant is a shop selling a variety of medieval items and featuring the same clay and glass handmade cups, goblets, plates, pitchers, etc. that are used in the restaurant.

Peppersack
This restaurant has followed Olde Hansa’s lead and also has a medieval theme. Located right across the street from its competition, Peppersack is also an excellent restaurant. It offers many exciting-sounding medieval dishes such as marinated lampreys and beef in cherry wine sauce, and “lady’s dainties,” and has a great atmosphere and very friendly service. They also go the extra mile and provide entertainment, in the form of sword fights and “saucy dancing,” beginning every evening at 8 pm.

Mookkala
The name of this restaurant means ‘swordfish’ in Estonian, and this delicious fish is one of the featured seafood dishes on the menu, alongside specialties such as shark in cherry dressing. Swordfish are extraordinary in that they are one of the fastest moving animals on earth and can swim at 96 km per hour, making them a difficult-to-catch delicacy that you shouldn’t miss. Any seafood dish you order here will be extremely fresh and well-prepared, and the service is impeccable as well.

Kuldse Notsu Korts
This restaurant’s goal is to present visitors and tourists with a taste of Estonian cuisine that is as good as it can get. It’s name means ‘The Little Piggy,” and many of the dishes feature pork. Other specials include smoked Baltic herring and a hearty “Farm girl’s stew.” The décor is creative and rustic-inspired with chandeliers made from wagon wheels and old famring equipment hanging from the ceiling like modern art.
