"Dogs allowed" Restaurants in Estonia
The dining area is furnished with upcycled furniture. The owner, Ülle Kiirend, might as well live here. She is always around, adding a personal touch and looking after diners; and when she is not, she is probably on a journey to discover new drinks to offer. The food at Prelude has never disappointed. It is the simple everyday food of the islanders. Must try: freshly shucked oysters.
Over a century ago, the owner of a St Petersburg department store built the imposing stone castle with towers to emphasise its importance in the small town. Today the castle houses a small hotel and restaurant with the ambition to be the most prestigious in Haapsalu. This ambition has been successfully achieved.
Early in the morning, the Pastoraat serves the best breakfast in town, and not just to guests of the boutique hotel Rosenplänter, which happens to be in the same building. At lunchtime there are affordable daily specials, and in the afternoon and evening there is an a la carte menu with local and international dishes.
The restaurant has changed hands many times, as have the cooking methods. But the Bottengarn Restaurant, with its dining tables in a modern, renovated, spacious building, decorated with fishing memorabilia and with an incredible view of the harbour and the sea, is the same Bottengarn from year to year. It is worth coming here in any season to see and taste the ever changing dishes.
The Kurze is a Dagestani restaurant. The number of restaurants from this part of the world is dwindling. This alone makes it worthwhile to find out what makes The Kurze different. The chef is particularly skilled in the preparation of lamb dishes. The eclectic décor adds to the dining experience.
Tsunft deserves the title of the most rapidly changing restaurant in Estonia. A returning guest can be almost certain that the experience will be very different from the last time. One thing that definitely stays the same is the high quality of the food and drinks. And when it comes to breakfast, Tsunft is the restaurant to go to in the city.
You only need to walk around a little to see how much Haapsalu has to offer. The food at Hapsal Dietrich on the town's main street is just as varied. Grandma Dietrich's schnitzel is served with lingonberry jam and an unusual German potato salad. Beef tartare is grilled, not raw, and served with tuna sauce. These quirky dishes are sure to put a smile on your face and make Hapsal Dietrich a destination for good cheer.
Dirhami Fish Café is famous all over Estonia. The freshest fish is always served here. The sea seems to be full of European sprat and Baltic herring, but other seasonal fish are also on the menu. Whatever the catch of the day, you can be sure it will be prepared into something delicious. Even the ordinary sprat and herring taste purer and fresher than anywhere else.
The small eatery in Laulasmaa is always packed. The food is so delicious, the choice so varied and the value for money so good that people from the surrounding summer cottages prefer to eat here instead of cooking at home. The winter season is quieter than usual, but always cosy and suitable for a longer dining experience or just spending time with a good drink and friends.
Supelsaksad is definitely one of the most charming restaurants in Pärnu. Located in an old wooden building, the several dining rooms with nostalgic décor and furniture from the turn of the century create a timeless atmosphere. You are likely to feel comfortable, perhaps even a little too relaxed. This is largely due to the attentive and cheerful staff.
A burger with champagne? The pizza and burger restaurant Jahu is not afraid of bold ideas. This audacity challenges the beliefs of the people of Tallinn, because eating a quality burger or pizza with a glass of champagne at a table in front of a restaurant is something new in this city.
