Have you heard the news that back in 2004, Hilary Clinton beat John McCain in a vodka drinking contest at Gloria in Tallinn, Estonia? Gloria is one of my highest rated restaurants in the world. It’s an incredible experience, and I would fly to Tallinn just to eat at Gloria. My husband told me about [...]

While researching Tallinn’s restaurant scene for a six day visit over Christmas, I came across Gloria, ‘one of the world’s top 100 restaurants’ according to Condé Nast Traveller. Open since 1937, various world leaders and even a Pope have dined here at this most exclusive of restaurants. Furthermore, it has a superb wine cellar, considered [...]
Peppersack (Medieval) – Tallinn, Estonia (6.5/10)
Posted in Estonia, Tallinn, dining out, food, medieval, restaurant review, restaurants, travel, traveleating on Dec 25th, 2006
Located across the street from Olde Hansa, Peppersack is Tallinn’s other medieval restaurant, also recommended by all the guidebooks. The atmosphere was disappointing however, possibly because it was Christmas Day. With far fewer diners than at Olde Hansa, it was quiet and subdued, although we were given a good table on a wooden balcony overlooking [...]
Olde Hansa (Medieval) – Tallinn, Estonia (8/10)
Posted in Estonia, Tallinn, dining out, food, medieval, restaurant review, restaurants, travel, traveleating on Dec 23rd, 2006
Situated in a medieval merchant’s house just off Tallinn’s old town square, Olde Hansa serves medieval food in a mediaval setting. Although this might sound tacky and touristy, it’s actually an impressive experience and we ate here twice during our six day trip. The interior is dark and entirely candle-lit, with hand-painted murals and waiters [...]
