Shang Shi Tallinn

Authentic Cantonese cuisine

Aubrey from Tallinn

I'm Aubrey - an SEO Manager living in Tallinn, Estonia. I grew up in Hong Kong but fell in love with this lovely medieval city. I've been living here since 2016. Outside of work, I'm an avid traveller, an enthusiastic language learner and a Pokemon Go player. I love my city because it's always alive and awake no matter the time. It has a great energy and it has amazing, very friendly ...

"Shang Shi is your go-to place is you are looking for a special dining experience with exquisite food and inviting atmosphere in Tallinn’s Old Town."

Shang Shi delivers a fine dining experience right in the heart of Tallinn’s Old Town. Situated next to the well-known local favourite Kompressor, Shang Shi offers a distinctive contrast to its more casual surroundings.

The lobby area is comfy with a bar, where you can enjoy a drink while waiting for your friends or family.

The food was nothing short of spectacular. Every dish was an elegant balance of flavors and textures, clearly crafted with top-notch ingredients.

The Dim Sum assortment at Shang Shi is a true highlight of the menu, offering a perfect balance of artistry and flavor. Each bite is a reflection of masterful craftsmanship. To enhance the experience, they also provide an explanation card that details each dim sum’s ingredients, ensuring you fully appreciate the unique flavors without feeling overwhelmed by the variety. It’s a thoughtful touch that adds to the enjoyment.

If you have pre-ordered the Peking duck, they will present and carve the Peking duck tableside. It adds a personal and engaging element to the dining experience. Watching the chef skillfully slice the crispy duck right in front of you enhances the appreciation of the dish.

In short, Shang Shi exceeded my expectations in every aspect. From the attentive service to the exquisite food and inviting atmosphere, it’s a dining experience I’ll happily return to and recommend to anyone seeking a touch of elegance in the heart of Tallinn.

Pierre Chocolaterie

Secret corner in old town

Step into Pierre Chocolaterie at the charming Masters’ Courtyard of local artisans. It's where my heart was stolen by a truffle filled with gorgonzola cheese.

"St. Vitus" Tallinn is a trendy microbrewery in Telliskivi. They have 20 beers on tap including their own, but you can go for more fancy than that!

Hidden beach in Põhja-Tallinn

Pikakari is a small sandy beach on the very end of the Paljassaare peninsula. It's not well-known, and I love it for some nature hikes...

Kaja Pizza Köök

Pizza kitchen

"Kaja Pizza Köök" is the most hyped pizza restaurant in Tallinn. They close when they're out of dough, so come early, get a local beer and enjoy the day!
