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 |
