FoodLover Restaurants Week—A Great Intro to the Best in Tallinn

 

Twice a year the FoodLover blog organises a campaign in conjunction with over 50 of Tallinn’s best restaurants. What’s in these campaigns? Only the best offers so participants can try everything Estonia’s capital city has to offer. These unique deals can be anything from exclusive meals not usually available, to gourmet foods at much lower prices. And each time FoodLover Restaurants Week is held, a winner is chosen…

This October 70 restaurants will take part, and the range of cuisines does not disappoint! The previous winner was the two-time champion MEAT Resto & Butcher, which features—you guessed it—a massive assortment of beef, pork, and even seafood options on the menu. The previous winner is Tasca Portuguesa, which offers a delectable selection of French cui—just kidding, of course it’s amazing Portuguese cuisine! Rounding out the list of recent winners would be Farm. This restaurant deserves a lot more attention than usual, as people always ask about traditional Estonian food, and where to sample it. Farm is the place: it boasts a broad selection of modern Estonian cuisine, right in the Old Town.

It is definitely worth checking out the full range of restaurants in FoodLover Restaurants Week this October, as they would not be included on the list if they offered mere cafeteria-style quality. These are top restaurants in Europe, and indeed the world. Spots are limited, however, so it would be wise to make a reservation, on the same page as linked above.
