Rataskaevu 16
A highly popular restaurant in Tallinn's Old Town, famous for its braised elk meat, often requiring advance reservations and offering reasonable prices.
Located on Rataskaevu Street in the Old Town, this is one of the highest-rated restaurants in Tallinn's Old Town and a long-time recipient of the Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice award. The signature braised elk meat is served with potato-beetroot terrine and blackcurrant mustard sauce for about €29; the creamy fish soup is about €11. The menu changes, and side dishes may vary, with gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegan options clearly marked. The restaurant is extremely popular, so booking a table several days in advance is recommended for dinner, and even earlier in summer; walk-ins are occasionally possible for lunch. If it is fully booked, you can try its sister restaurant, Väike Rataskaevu 16. The average cost is about €35 per person (excluding wine), and it is a few minutes' walk from Town Hall Square.
