Diana from Tallinn

About me My name is Diana, I was born and raised in Tallinn. First of all I love food, so most probably my articles will be about that. I work in internet advertising and am fond of photography, film and my black cat Alejandro. I love to travel but even my home country has a special place in my heart with its forests and bogs.

Frank Tallinn

Sinatra would drink here

""Frank" in Tallinn has this 1940s New Year New York flair. Simple but beautiful furniture, a sophisticated and warm atmosphere... I love it all!"

It feels like Ozzie, Chip and Gabey from the famous musical "On the Town" have come to New York for the first time. This just recently opened restaurant and bar in the Old Town has this 1940's New Year New York flair. Simple but beautiful furniture, sophisticated and warm atmosphere coupled with an American style menu with a twist results in an enjoyable experience.

Frank offers juleps, a bourbon-based cocktail common in South America. And of course there is a cocktail with national kink called "Frank's Midnight Sauna". It is a bourbon mixed with traditional Estonian rum-based liqueur "Vana Tallinn" (Old Tallinn), it's usually common to add in hot coffee with cream or drink straight on a cold winter night.

This place is great for a serious dinner or a casual night out for a drink with friends. Hospitable service and good music help one relax and have a ball in this lovely establishment.

Certainly a happening place right now! So make a reservation if it is Friday or Saturday.

After 1:00 move to the basement for a cocktail ;)

Nature in the city

Aida St

Theater backstage in Old Town

"Aida St" in Tallinn's old town is very easy to miss. This is where you can find one of the most interesting (and curiously quiet) sights around here...

Betapromenaad

Secret walkway by the sea

"Betapromenaad" in Tallinn is a temporary walkway along the seaside. It looks a bit weird at the moment, but I like it for walk near the center...

Sõõrikukohvik

Traditional Estonian breakfast

"Sõõrikukohvik" is one of the best places for having breakfast in Tallinn around. This cozy little cafe specialises in doughnuts, and it's really cheap!
