Restaurants in Historic Buildings

"This sleek, striking building is a beautiful example of Estonian Modernist architecture. Designed by Valve Pormeister and completed in 1964, it is sited in an elevated spot and affords distant views of the Gulf of Finland. Following a meticulous restoration – which was recognised by the National Heritage Board – it was reborn and relaunched in 2015. The blue Volga motor car outside hails from the Soviet era in which it was first built, and the retro-cum-minimalist interior is flooded with light from its floor-to-ceiling windows. The concise menu brings things up-to-date by offering a range of modern dishes with a Baltic heart; however there are Asian and Mediterranean influences at play too, so expect plenty of originality and some intriguing flavours." - Elizabeth Winter

"This iconic building was constructed in 1965 and some of its original modernist features still remain, giving it a fashionably retro feel. It's set in an elevated spot and affords lovely views through its floor-to-ceiling windows out towards the Gulf of Finland – and its terrace is the place to be come summer. Cooking has a Baltic heart but also features some Mediterranean, Asian and even South American influences, with dishes ranging from the likes of lamb dumplings to a seafood tostada. The presentation matches the skill of the cooking techniques, with some stunning-looking creations." - Michelin Inspector

Estonia's First Two Star Restaurant Is Unveiled!

"In Tallinn, this spot occupies a lovely location, with a terrace providing great sea views and an interior sporting a retro look; the cooking comes with a creative element but is rooted in the Baltics and offers lots of enjoyable contrasts in textures and flavours." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
