NOA

$$$ Fodor's choice
NOA Restaurant is one of the better restaurants in Estonia and the Nordic countries. The menu focuses on brasserie-style dishes with international influences that are largely based on local produce. It's located by the sea, in Viimsi, an affluent residential suburb of Tallinn. Its dining room has a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, light interior in natural materials as well as panoramic windows, with beautiful views of Tallinn’s skyline and the bay. Another part of the restaurant is the NOA Chef’s Hall, which has an elegant degustation menu in a more private setting.

Maiasmokk

$$

A restoration has revived this fine Estonian restaurant's 19th-century feel. Founded in 1864, the property has been refurbished to its old, refined glory, with a menu of international café classics. Living up to its name (maiasmokk is Estonian for "sweet tooth"), the property has a bakery in the basement, providing a range of excellent cakes and other baked goods that can be enjoyed together with coffee. The adjacent marzipan room and museum displays artistic marzipan items, as well as artisans at work creating them.
