23.11.2021
Excellent food and a diverse restaurant scene are one of the main reasons people visit Tallinn. An exciting mix of world cuisines, local traditions and Nordic cooking will surprise even the most seasoned foodies.
If you wish to experience some of the most exquisite food the region has to offer, take a look at the White Guide Nordic. The culinary guidebook divides the top Baltic and Nordic restaurants into four categories: Global Masters Level, Masters Level, Very Fine Level, and Fine Level. Also, recommended restaurants deserve an extra mention.
The focus of the evaluation is on food (maximum of 40 points) while drink list (maximum of 20 points), service (maximum of 20 points), and milieu (maximum of 20 points) are also taken into consideration. The maximum score is 100 points. Based on the ranking, the jury then divides the top restaurants into different categories.
