Set in a delightful coastal spot looking back towards the city by way of the Baltic Sea, this beach house style restaurant brings plenty of cheer to proceedings thanks its to colourful fabrics and full-length windows that flood the room with light. It’s a large building – home too to NOA Chef’s Hall – clad with wood and filled with natural materials, giving it something of a New England look, but it’s the terrace that’s the place to be when the weather’s right. Dishes could include the likes of tuna crudo, blood orange, chilli and coriander followed by vongole linguine with venus and razor cla

The small seaside village of Võsu sits 80km east of Tallinn, inside the Lahemaa National Park, and its pine forests and coastal scenery draw those in the know. Also worth a visit here is this lime-green clapboard house, which boasts smart apartments – the perfect spot to base yourself – and a fashionable New England style restaurant. The room comes with fleece-covered chairs and cosy cushions, while the large terrace more than doubles its size. The menu may be concise, but dishes are vibrant and full of flavour, and there’s always something to appeal, be it elk dumplings or butter chicken schn

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.

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

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

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.
