Jah, Kallis Tallinn
Fine restaurant on the outskirt
"Jah, Kallis" or literally translated as "Yes, Darling" is a really local restaurant, because it is situated far away from the centre of Tallinn. It is situated basically at the end of Nõmme district, so not many tourists, if any, reach the restaurant.
"Jah, Kallis" is a really great place, and popular among locals; the interior is something between industrial and homelike, and the designers have done a great job in my opinion. The restaurant itself specialises in European cuisine with Estonian notes, however they have a big sushi menu as well.
The dish that stood out for me when I visited the restaurant was poké---they have the best poké in the city in my opinion, it is really worth trying. I can't say that it is one of the best restaurants I have ever visited, but if you have some spare few hours and you enjoy atmospheric place with quality food and reasonable prices, "Jah, Kallis" is a great place to visit.
Fun fact about the name of the restaurant: there is no sexual separation in the word "kallis" (darling) in Estonian, similar to English, so everyone can basically interpret the name of the restaurant how they like.

NoKu Klubi
Secret place
"NoKu Klubi" Tallinn is a truly secret bar with a turbulent past you need a code for to enter! I like it for the '70s vibe and warm dusky light...

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.

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.
