Muuriääre Café
Müüriääre kohvik
An old-town café that opened in 2006 right beside the castle walls, serving everything from breakfast to dinner. Traditional cakes from its in-house bakery are the signature.
The name means 'by the wall', and the café sits at Karja 7, right beside the outer wall of the Bishop's Castle. Opened in 2006 and led by head chef Rein Välimets, the menu blends Mediterranean flavours, works with local producers and grows herbs in the backyard in summer. Doors open at 8 a.m.; breakfasts such as oatmeal and pancakes cost about 4–7 euros. Main courses such as pickled herring sandwiches, mushroom soup, pan-fried fish steak and pan-fried veal liver cost 8–14 euros, which is very reasonable. Cakes are made by the bakery of the same name using the original recipes. Summer weekends are not bookable; it is first come, first served.
Opening hours
Sun–Thu 8:00–21:00, Fri 8:00–22:00, Sat 8:00–23:00 (kitchen stops taking orders half an hour early)
