Dining

180° by Matthias Diether

Restaurant★★ Michelin€€€€2.4 km

A modern harbour development just outside the city plays host to this stylish restaurant and its futuristic bar. The name refers to the 180° view from the U-shaped kitchen counter; sit here to watch the chefs in action or at a more intimate table looking out over the harbour. Ambitious, visually impressive dishes are the German chef’s hallmark and his detailed creations show a memorable array of flavour and texture contrasts. Choose between the tasting menu or an upgraded ‘Premium’ experience with caviar, truffle and cheeses. Warm, engaging service helps to create a relaxed experience.

FUME

RestaurantBib Gourmand€€766 m

The latest opening from the Siigur restaurant group sits within the bustling Rotermann Quarter. One of the hottest tickets in town, it’s a big, bold, blingy space complete with colourful furnishings and an open kitchen, at the heart of which is the Vulcano Gres Grill, where the dancing flames add not just flavour but also to the atmosphere. The extensive menu offers a good choice of Mediterranean-inspired dishes but, of course, it’s the meats and grills cooked over the fire that are the stars of the show. Lunch is good value, and the capable team cater as well for large groups as they do table

Fotografiska

RestaurantBib Gourmand€€1.4 km

Above the Fotografiska photo gallery sits an equally striking restaurant offering picture-perfect views out across the Old Town; be sure to make the most of this by either starting or ending your night with cocktails in the rooftop bar. A ‘leaf-to-root, nose-to-tail’ ethos leads the way, with each ingredient used to the maximum – be that in the dishes themselves or as a garnish in one of the drinks – and the highly original cooking could include the likes of rabbit agnolotti or apple pie with chanterelle ice cream. On summer Sundays they offer a themed brunch.

Mantel ja Korsten

RestaurantBib Gourmand€€1.7 km

A residential neighbourhood just outside the city centre plays host to this sweet little house with light turquoise clapboard walls and a bright red roof. Its name means ‘mantel and chimney’ and, fittingly, a green-tiled fireplace and mantel take centre stage in a room furnished with striking wallpapers and bold soft furnishings. Flavoursome dishes have an honest heart and could include goat’s cheese with beer chutney, beetroot and orange or gnocchi with chorizo, sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts and bechamel sauce. The well-chosen wines have an organic and biodynamic bias, and service is endearin

UMA

RestaurantBib Gourmand€€2.4 km

From the owners of Lore Bistroo comes UMA, situated in a waterside warehouse where they once built submarines for the Russian navy and now boasting a superb harbourside terrace. An on-trend spot, it’s name stands for ‘Unorthodox Modern Asian’, and that’s exactly what you’ll find here. The great value menu mixes small and large plates – all designed for sharing – and keeps recognisable flavours such as satay and sweet & sour to the fore. The freshly cooked coconut flatbread is a must, while the ‘UMA Experience’ offers a little of everything, with the dishes served on stands akin to those used f

Lore Bistroo

RestaurantBib Gourmand€€VegVegan2.4 km

The sister restaurant to neighbouring UMA is a characterful modern bistro which sits in a cavernous warehouse overlooking the harbour at Port Noblessner. Steel girders, hoists and concrete pillars provide the backdrop, while an open kitchen adds to the buzz. Assured, modern dishes are inspired by the owners’ travels, ensuring you'll always find something that appeals. Go for the Lore Experience menu if you fancy sharing dishes served family-style – and if you see crêpes Suzette on the menu, be sure to give them a try! Friendly service rounds out the experience perfectly.

Vesta

RestaurantBib Gourmand€€3.4 km

Vesta brings something a little special to the Estonian dining scene, so while the eye-catching yellow building might be located just outside the city centre, the short journey is certainly worthwhile. Set up by three friends, it’s a lively, animated place where everyone is out to have fun, from the guests to the charming young service team. At the heart of the room is a large communal counter with two sides set for dining, the place to sit to see the action up close. The menu is small, but the choice is appealing, offering dishes such as pike-perch with mussels and ‘nduja or steak frites for

Tuljak

RestaurantBib Gourmand€€3.5 km

This iconic building was constructed in 1965 and some of its original modernist features still remain, giving it a fashionably retro feel. It's set in an elevated spot and affords lovely views through its floor-to-ceiling windows out towards the Gulf of Finland – and its terrace is the place to be come summer. Cooking has a Baltic heart but also features some Mediterranean, Asian and even South American influences, with dishes ranging from the likes of lamb dumplings to a seafood tostada. The presentation matches the skill of the cooking techniques, with some stunning-looking creations.
