Hansa Tall & Hansa Hoov

We loved this place, if you are from our of town it is a must stop. Great food and great atmosphere. We had a great schnitzel and a great sausage stew with mashed potatoes. The staff was very friendly. Oh, and you must try the fried rye bread that was soaked in butter. I think it was called kepta duona.

A nice restaurant with lots options to choose from. The place has a rustic kind of look. Friendly staff. Fast service. We had fried fish, liver and a cheese snack. All were good, tasted fresh. Drinks were delicious. We’ll definitely come again.

Visited the charming city of Tartu on August 24, 2025. The venue is advertised as a restaurant of traditional Estonian cuisine. Overall, I liked it. The place is styled like a beer garden — large indoor halls, outdoor verandas, and a stage for concerts. On a summer Sunday evening, it was rather empty — only about a dozen guests, half of whom were expats. Unfortunately, the menu does not clearly highlight traditional Estonian dishes, nor does it explain their background or history. The music playing inside consisted of overplayed 80s hits. Why not Estonian folk music? ⸻ What I especially enjoyed: • The rye distillate Handsa Hõbetiigli Kangus • The rhubarb dessert Kamavahu-rabarberi maiuspala (To understand what these were, I had to look them up myself — thanks, ChatGPT!) ⸻ My suggestions to the owners: • Curate a playlist of pleasant Estonian folk music to enhance the atmosphere • Expand the descriptions of traditional dishes on the menu — what they are, their origin, and cultural meaning Otherwise, we expats are left unable to fulfill our curiosity and desire for authentic local experiences. 😊

I had a fabulous evening with my fiancé at this restaurant! It was an incredible good food, in an incredible great atmosphere. And i can tell you, the service was outstanding. (a very polite gentleman served us) Of course, it's not the cheapest restaurant in Tartu, but the price is fair and i am absolutely willing to pay for good quality and good service. And the ambience is fantastic! (to the chef: i ate the greatest feta salat I've EVER eaten in Estonia! I'd like to take a bath in that marinade! Please don't change anything until i die 🤭) Thank you, guys, for making our evening perfect! ❤️

The food is really, really delicious, chicken soup with dumplings, fried bread with garlic sauce, sweet potato chips and excellent meat! Super delicious... really worth a visit. The atmosphere around is pleasant with music at just the right level.

Very nice place! Both the interior and the exterior. The food was great with a pub feeling to the dishes, very huge portions as well. We were okay already just ordering from the Salads section as mains. The bacon salad had real bacon! It was home cooked and had crispy edges - very nice surprise! We also ordered the 25€ platter to share with different snacks and it was very tasty, the products were great. Prices were also very decent and the service very nice. Would recommend!

A short walk from the center of Tartu but worth the effort. Good place to try traditional Estonian cuisine and many others as they have an extensive menu complete with pictures and English translation. Service was all smiles and dining venue adjacent to a fountain. A.LeCoq Premium and Alexander both on draft.

Good place to visit. Prices are expensive. Food is tasty. Staff is friendly and helpful as well. Regarding the menu, I've ordered: Pork with mushrooms and onion 12,50 EUR, Chicken roll coated with cheese and ham 11,90 ЕUR, Crispy pork schnitzel 10,50 EUR
