Diner Tallinn
American dream
One of my favorite lunch locations recently opened in Nõmme district, the American restaurant called "Diner". Those who live in Tallinn know for sure that the best location for eating burgers for the last several years was Vesivärava Grill in Kadriorg. Now its previous owners moved on to new challenges and opened a new burger restaurant decorated as an old American diner (say hello to the 50s!) - with a long red counter and working jukebox in the corner.
Diner is extremely popular among the locals (personally it takes me about 10-20 minutes to get there by car and still I keep visiting it at least once a week) and usually it's really hard to find a free table - but it's definitely worth the effort!
Usually it takes about 15 minutes to cook the meat in charcoal oven - but while you are waiting you can enjoy a cup of coffee - for those ordering burgers it's free of charge. By the way - all burgers are available in two options - with ordinary meat or made with organic Angus beef.
And here is a little tip from me - order the one with the mushrooms, it's really delicious. All in all - 'Diner' is definitely one of the best burger restaurants in Tallinn at the moment.

Hell Hunt
Probably the best pub in town
"Hell Hunt" is my go-to option when I just can't come up with any ideas of where to go for a drink or food in Tallinn. A chaotic, cheerful pub/restaurant.

Boheem Kohvik
Nice place for dinner
"Boheem Kohvik" is one of my favorite spots in Tallinn for lunch. This nice and quiet restaurant makes, in my opinion, the best Caesar's salad in the city.

Harjumägi
Best view of Freedom Square
"Harjumägi" is a hill in the heart of Tallinn. It offers great views and is next to the Upper Old Town, but it's quiet despite its very central location...
