Liisu Juures

Liisu Juures

iisu juures, old town, estonian, traditional, tallinn, christmas food, blood sausage, sauerkraut

It doesn’t get more central than a meal at Liisu's in the Town Hall Square. Located in a warm and inviting cellar in Tallinn’s Old Town, this is the place to come for good food, and good Estonian hospitality.

To start, try the fried and marinated herring, served with rye bread and cucumber salad, or the mushroom salad, with potato and bacon. If you want to try Estonian Christmas food, look for blood sausage and roasted pork. As a main, the selection of sausages may seem daunting, but the sausages themselves are very small, allowing a proper sampling of three different kinds. Included on the platter were blood sausages, pork sausages, and a larger German style wiener. They are served with a generous portion of sauerkraut and roasted potatoes, as well as lingonberry sauce to go with the blood sausage. For another traditional Estonian Christmas dish, try the roasted pork and boiled potatoes. Liisu Juures has a good selection of Estonian beers. The mead, which was not too sweet, was a good accompaniment to the selection of sausages.
