Memorable Dishes from the Inspectors’ Travels

"Fire leek, cured elk, hollandaise, lemon butter: "The leek had been cooked whole in the open fire and the outer layer was completely blackened, however the beautifully soft inside had been taken out, prepared and then put back in the 'shell'. It was sweet, unctuous and so very delicious, and melted in the mouth. It was topped with a smooth, creamy hollandaise of the highest quality, as well as lemon butter which, in turn, was topped with cured, finely grated elk meat, which added further complexity and an umami richness. It may have looked simple, but this was original, complex and packed full of flavour." - Elizabeth Winter

"Set within the same striking building as NOA is the stylish NOA Chef’s Hall, where you start your evening with an aperitif in the romantic lounge overlooking Tallinn Bay. The on-view kitchen is the heart of the restaurant – with the open fire used to great effect – and luxury ingredients are to the fore, be that Canadian lobster or preserved, locally foraged produce. The creative 7 course menu keeps you engaged from start to finish, with complex, highly original dishes packed full of complementary flavours and layers of texture. For one course you are invited up to the chef's counter." - Michelin Inspector

Visited in Sep 2025 NOA is well reputed restaurant and hence decided to give its 1 Michelin star sister (NOA Chef’s Hall) a visit during my trip to Tallinn. The restaurant commands exceptional views, esp for sunsets and is a very “romantic” dining venue as a result of that. The tasting menu comprised 9-10 courses. There is a wine and tea pairing menu to go along with the courses. I went with the non-alcoholic tea pairing. As far as the food is concerned, it was what you would expect of a one star place. However, nothing jumped out in the menu as exceptional and beating expectations. The pigeon main course was my favourite part of the meal. Service was really good. You are constantly taken care of throughout the meal by the restaurant staff. Overall, the dining experience at NOA Chef’s Hall was a good one, but I am not sure if this establishment is a must visit if you’re in Tallinn for a few days. It’s a good restaurant but probably not a top choice in my view. Maybe a visit to NOA (the Bib Gourmand place) is a better choice if you’re only in Tallinn for a short while.

We had a fantastic evening at NCH on the 1st of January. From start to finish, the service is excellent and everyone is very friendly plus all staff speak perfect english. The food is outstanding, my personal highlight was the pigeon. Pictured is the arctic char, where we opted for the caviar (30€ extra) - one of our favourites, too. (my) Pictures don't do the chefs work justice, so I'll keep it at one. I would definitely recommend anybody going there and experience the menu.

Everything from the food to the serveware and silverware was carefuly put together. The food was phenomenal, each course outdoing the previous one. Our favorites were the Fish courses and the Onion one too. The staff is exceptionally warm.

Food was excellent, service was excellent (!!) and atmosphere was excellent. I have never seen service like this, and I'd like to see this more. The only minor thing that I do not personally appreciate is the constant upselling, when the experience itself is already quite exquisite and pricey, it kind of kills the vibe.

How this place doesn't have at least 2 michelin stars is beyond me. I lack words to describe the food but let me try. Everything tasted sublime. I even liked the pigeon paté served with the pigeon, and I'm usually not into any form of liver. The textures were subtle but added to each dish. For example the skin on the arctic char was so crisp. There was nothing I didn't like. It's impossible to choose favourites but some of the definite standouts were the rhubarb tartelet, the morels, the choux, the brioche, the arctic char, the consomme and the madeleine. I went for the less expensive wine pairing and all the wines were really good. I might go for the more expensive pairing if I ever go again. Personally I always enjoy food much more when the service is good. The service here is great. Not only did I leave happy, I had been very happy all night, both when eating, when interacting with the staff and when watching them all do their job with excellence. The rough criteria for two michelin stars is that you'd go out of your way to eat there. I did. So should you!

I’ll refrain from giving details because I think it’s better to go in blind. I mean, wow. Just an absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. The staff is superb and the food was absolutely delicious. The team that works here truly love what they do and it shows in every way. Thank you to everyone that works here for a memory we will have forever.

An unforgettable culinary experience! With multiple tables and chef-led station, every dish was creative and unique . The staff was outstanding: professional, passionate, and welcoming. Chef’s Hall is more than a meal — it’s a true food adventure.
