Maarjamäe resto Tallinn

Coffee after walk

"This café is my calm island after seaside walks or playgrounds, where sweet Britta cake, peace, and quiet moments are always on the menu."

I love stopping by this café after spending a few hours with my children at the nearby playground or museum. After all the running around and children’s games, it feels like my own little island of calm. Of course, you can order proper meals here, but for me, the highlight is always the Britta cake. It’s a beloved local dessert – a light, airy meringue cake layered with fresh raspberries and whipped cream. Sweet, delicate, and perfectly balanced, it never disappoints.

I also come here after long seaside walks, sometimes on my own, without the kids. The atmosphere is always peaceful, and it’s one of those places where you can just sit with a book and enjoy the moment.

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.
