Osteria il Cru

Top 5 Restaurants in Tallinn’s Old Town

"Just past the Viru Gate, The Cru Hotel may be small but has a big heart, and its dining rooms clearly play an important part. They occupy space over three levels; while within the hotel’s cellars, they’re brightly decorated with plenty of personality. Knowledgeably prepared dishes reflect Estonia’s seasonal larder, and the classic, comforting puddings are not to be missed." - Elizabeth Winter

"Spread between the basement and the ground floor of a small hotel in the Old Town, CRU has been reborn as Osteria il Cru – and both its new name and the olive tree at the centre of the cosy room give a good indication of its new direction. Head Chef Ivari Vokk leads a newly formed kitchen team in creating Italian dishes that exhibit all the flavours you know and love, enhanced by a few personal twists. The extensive menu represents good value and offers plenty of choice, including the likes of spinach and ricotta stuffed zucchini flowers, parmigiana di melanzane and delicious homemade pastas." - Michelin Inspector

Cru

"Decorated in bright colours, Cru is spread over three basement floors of a small hotel in the centre of the city. The menu is a rollcall of seasonal produce sourced from the local area and cooked with knowledge and care. The smoked Baltic herring are memorable, as are the classic puddings." - Michelin Inspector
