Tempo Cafe Tallinn

Great selection of soups

""Tempo Cafe" has been one of my favorite lunch destinations in Tallinn for more than ten years. I recommend you go straight for the Soup Gallery..."

Tempo cafe (located in Tallinnk Express Hotel near Linnahall) has been one of my favorite lunch destinations for more than ten years. Formerly known as Express Cafe, some time ago the place was completely rebuilt and now is open under a new name.

In general, the items from the main menu are not cheap and are intended mostly for hotel guests (frankly never tried anything from that list), still they have one absolutely unbeatable option: the soup gallery. Whether you're a huge fan of different soups or just want one for lunch you won't find a better place in Tallinn.

Each weekday from 11:30 to 15:00 (12:00 - 15:00 on weekends) Cafe Tempo offers a great selection of 4 different soups (and those change every day!) for just €6 - just eat as much as you can, without restrictions. One of them is usually sweet and cold and comes as a dessert, while 3 others could be considered a main course. One will never leave hungry - not from Cafe Tempo.

A piece of advice for those coming by car - parking's free for 1 hour (just push the green button on parking machine to get the ticket).

And last but not least - Club One card if you're coming with a ferry you should definitely have it) gives 10% discount for all items on the menu.

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...

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!

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...

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.

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.

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...

Harjumägi

Best view of Freedom Square

"Harjumägi" is a hill in the heart of Tallinn. It offers great views and is next to the Upper Old Town, but it's quiet despite its very central location...
