Restaurant Name: Elevant

If you want to have Indian food made from wild animals this is place to come.
Restaurant is rather plain with interior and tables + seats not too comfy. The traditional Indian dishes are pretty OK, but specialities are the best. Service could balance to a bit more non-Breznev type of attitude.

Favorite Dish: You should try these: Wild boar vindaloo, Moose curry

Restaurant Name: Maharaja

Perfectly located if you want to have your Indian party on terrace with sunshine. Interior is not very glorious, the quality of Indian food is rather OK, no special highlights. You pay some extra for the good location. It is not a pure tourist trap, however remember that in Raekoja plaza the restaurants are for tourists.

Positive atmosphere, popular among low budget travellers. Coctail menu is big: one cocktail named after each African country -perfect place to study geography. Staff is serving with good attitude.

Restaurant Name: Must Lammas

Must Lammas is centrally located cosy restaurant with an excellent service.

This restaurant is proud of saying that they don't serve traditional beefsteaks with French fries.
So in this restaurant you will not meet the group of white-van-men from whatever U.K industrial city celebrating one poor guy's stag night -his last nights of freedom from miserable life to a worse. No hell, the noisy and stinky EasyJet shipped baldies with classy self-made footsie shirts are not here, those you will meet in MacDo few hundreds meters away.

Excellent value for the money, you seldom meet staff so polite in Tallin. Serving fluently in English.

Favorite Dish: For a starter a nice selection of Caucasian specialities are available. Main dishes of lamb and chicken were brilliant and for a dessert the cherry pure was jus next to the nirvana. Wine selection is good and international, so no worry that good dishes are wasted with e.g. the notorius Georgian petrolium.

Restaurant Name: Restoran Ö

One of the most luxurious restaurant in Estonia. Extremely international approach for creating delicious dishes, however local ingredients are favored. The display of food is excellent.
Table reservation recommended on busy weekends from 8pm onwards.

Favorite Dish: Eel was served with excellent texture. Jerusalem artichoke soup nice and smooth.
Tuna fish steaks superb. With rabbit main course the chantarelle sauce took dominance from the rest.

Restaurant Name: Bonaparte

Serving French food with Estonian touch. The service is not the fastest, however very professional.

Favorite Dish: Quiches are good, but nothing extreme, you get better from Intermarche supermarkets. Good cakes and other sweet pastries. Atmosphere better than in tourist populated places in center.
