About this place

Tallinn is at its most cinematic in December, when snow muffles the cobbles and the Town Hall Square Christmas market glows like an advent calendar. Skip the medieval-banquet restaurants aimed at stag parties and book a New Nordic tasting menu instead — the city's kitchens quietly outclass its reputation.
