Eating Well In Tallinn

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
