Rae Meierei Tallinn
Dairy restaurant with its own goats
Rae Meierei or verbatim translated as Dairy on Town Hall is a restaurant situated in the heart of The Old Town of Tallinn nearby the Town Hall square. It is a really unique place with an industrial concept and European fusion cuisine. They're the main reasons it is liked by locals and by me personally.
I really like the interior of the restaurant, it is very cosy and modern at the same time. The restaurant has to offer a really big variety of wines and cheeses made from their own milk, which they get from goats that live on the last floor of the building. Yes, the real goats can be met in the restaurant in the city centre. Sometimes the owners let guests pet the goats, a really unique experience for a restaurant, in my mind. Moreover, there is a big vodka museum in Rae Meierei, something you will not find in every restaurant.
When I first visited Rae Meierei, I was really impressed, not really with the food, but with the concept of the place and the things that they can offer, including the goats. Although the food there is great as well.

"Frank" in Tallinn has this 1940s New Year New York flair. Simple but beautiful furniture, a sophisticated and warm atmosphere... I love it all!

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.

More than a shopping mall

Piiskopi Viewing Platform
Upper Old Town zest
The "Piiskopi Viewing Platform" in Tallinn is one of the many platforms in the Old Town, but I think it's the most beautiful and less touristy than others.
