Kompressor Tallinn

Locals' favourite pancake house

"Kompressor in Tallinn offers a great variety of wonderful pancakes, both savory and sweet. Arrive early to avoid the crowds and enjoy a hearty meal!"

Kompressor is a legendary pancake house in Tallinn’s Old Town, known for its incredible selection of both savoury and sweet pancakes. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the portion sizes — you really get great value for your money here.

If you want to try more than one flavour, it’s best to share with friends.

The only downside is that Kompressor can get super busy, especially during peak hours, and there might be a bit of a wait. I recommend going right when they open at 11 a.m. to beat the crowd and enjoy a filling brunch without the wait.

For a hearty, budget-friendly meal in Tallinn, Kompressor is an absolute must!

Tops

Bar for locals

"Tops" Tallinn is a small soviet-chic cafe in trendy Kalamaja. I invite you to try a 'küpsisekook' there, a very simple but very Estonian dessert...

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...

Frank

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!

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.

Paljassaare Conservation Area

Nature in the city

The "Paljassaare Special Conservation Area" is just 15 minutes by bus from the Tallinn's centre. I like exploring it by bicycle because it's quite big...
