Restaurants in Tallinn
Estonian food is pretty plain. Local favorites include trout (smoked, pickled, or salted). The city is also home to a surprising array of international cuisine, including even Mexican and Asian food. One of the best local spots in Old Town is Restaurant Laguun, Vene 10 (tel. 63/14-727), noted for its historic building (it's located in well-preserved medieval living quarters), as well as for its mostly seafood cuisine. Crayfish is caught locally and a good choice when in season, and the restaurant also offers both hot and cold tasting plates with several items for those who can't settle on one choice.
