Tallinn has a lively and varied restaurant scene, and we ate well during our visit...
|
Every day started well with the hotel breakfast; sometimes I augmented my traditional American/English breakfast with some beets and herring and other local such stuff |
|
Mistakes were made...imagine the disappointment of the guy who ordered a burger with just mayo when he got Vicki's double burger with ketchup and pickle...
|
|
But on the whole we did quite well, starting with Moon, a traditional Estonian Michelin-Red restaurant down by the harbor... |
|
A bit of the decor |
|
My borsch |
|
Her chicken Kiev and mash |
|
My roasted aubergine tartar with truffle artichoke sauce and sunchoke crisps |
|
Her Napoleon cake, with various stuff; the presentations were fun and impressive |
|
Another treat was Tai Boh, a Thai resto in the center of the old town...the modest entry led to a large outdoor terrace where we ate; the decor of the restaurant was said to be "life- changing," which we interpreted to mean someone had watched The Beach maybe way too many times...
|
|
My Tom Yum (and a pancakey sort of bread thing they recommended) |
|
Her duck |
|
Her dessert |
|
The food was fine, but the interior of the restaurant was a hoot |
|
Bar |
|
Muay Thai..."get there earlier!" |
|
Upstairs lounge and toilettes |
|
Handwashing station |
|
Speaking of stations... |
|
Lastly there was Chakra, a traditional Indian restaurant closer to our hotel; the aromas from the kitchen windows and the chefs waving at us were all the invitation needed; above, Vicki's roasted tika masala |
|
My coconut shrimp curry; both fine and, with papadums and naan, all we could eat |
