In the summer, the delightful garden is also opened, accommodating about 60 restaurant guests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The backyard is bordered by tall wooden fences from neighbouring houses and a limestone wall, which is eagerly climbed by a wild vine. These, along with flowerbeds and a hawthorn tree growing in the centre of the yard, create a romantic atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cA secluded restaurant garden like this is hard to find anywhere else in Tallinn.
