Tops Tallinn
Bar for locals
Diana from Tallinn
Tops is a small cafe situated in the trendiest neighbourhood today, Kalamaja. It is on the first floor of a wooden house and serves cold drinks, coffee and tea, salads, panini sandwiches and a very Estonian cake that every child who grew up in Estonia has had. I invite you to try a "küpsisekook". It is actually a very simple dessert, made for the lazy but patient people. You just take few squared cookies put them on top of each other with some cream and wait a few hours for them to cool down in the fridge. It is tasty and brings back a lot of childhood memories. So if you go there, share the memory of Estonian children.
The place is a throwback to Soviet chic. Old furniture, books, art on the walls. There is also a smoking room for those of you who do not enjoy smoking outside and check out their page for upcoming events.
Every Thursday they have a Femme Fatale night, the female DJs play lovely music. They also invite interesting musicians for small, intimate performances. It is like having your own guest over that plays good music.

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.
