Samsa Family Bakers
When we trace on a map the way from Asia to Estonia we will encounter the powerful and mysterious Uzbekistan. Uzbek traditions are most vividly expressed in their cuisine. Do you think that dumplings, meat pies, pilaf and shashlik cannot possibly surprise you with anything new? Allow the Samsa Family Bakers to prove you wrong. Instead of standard dumplings they serve large steamed mantis with minced onion and meat. Beware: never try to cut a manti with a knife, but hold it in your hands and start munching! Samsa is a pie made of puff pastry dough with yeast and here it is made with various meat and also sweet fillings. And you cannot get genuine Uzbek pilaf anywhere else. Its exceptional taste is created with herbs picked from Uzbek mountains and peas characteristic to the region that is a must for making this national dish.
Pelmen
Pelmen honors local traditions. As you can deduce from the name, Pelmen serves dumplings—made entirely by hand, using 90% local ingredients and free from artificial preservatives. The range of Pelmeni covers options from classics to modern extravagant flavors, as well as enticing plant-based dishes and desserts. So, there’s nothing left to do but head to Viru Food Street to give it a try. By the way, you can also purchase them to take home, freshly frozen and just as tasty as when enjoyed on-site.
This restaurant offers iconic dishes of two areas. You have probably already discovered the Hawaii poke bowl that has quickly found its way into the hearts of the locals. This is a full meal packed with greens and vitamins. Meze is bringing us the rich food traditions of the Middle East, represented by such local superstars like falafels, hummus, kebab, dolma and the sweet dishes of the area like sugar confectionery, Turkish delight and baklava. By the way, the cook of Meze has done a lot of work to create chickpea balls falafels with just the right taste that Estonian people like and that is a taste experience on its own! But if you add baba ganoush for a sauce (means “spoiled daddy” in Armenian) and labneh, that is a soft cheese flavoured with herbs, then you are served an authentic delicacy of a sunny country.
MySushi
MySushi is a city classic that will never fail you. The restaurant in the corner next to Tammsaare Park has created a very special atmosphere for enjoying traditional Japanese tastes. Sushi fans will certainly value the wide selection on the menu and the fast preparation of the food. Wide selection of drinks and the opportunity to enjoy a calm meal in the city centre are added bonuses. In warm months the restaurant expands to the outdoor terrace.
Stereo Street Food
Stereo Street Food is also listed in White Guide and it has become one of the main attractions of Viru Food Hall. The restaurant brings the best sunny Latin American street food traditions to nordic Tallinn. Tiina Kõresoo, the so-called queen of pop-up restaurants in Tallinn has dedicated years to studying the most tasty recipes from Latin America, so you can be sure that here you will be offered finely perfected dishes with names, serving and cutting ways and components that bring to mind genuine Latin America. Even a large part of the ingredients are brought to Estonia from far away. You simply must try the yucca fries, tacos, picadillos, tiradito and of course orange wine. Stereo Street Food can be warmly recommended when you dare to try something very tasty and new!
Food Hall has thought of coffee and sweet fans as well. Desserts are served in most restaurants, but in addition there are also special cafes dedicated to the sweet tooth. Here you can put a fabulous finishing touch to your lunch or dinner or simply visit to enjoy a sweet dish.
Papermill
Just a few steps from the ice cream temptation is cafe Papermill. Here you can get fantastic coffee made with passion to go with a sweet treat. You can rest assured that coffee is made of the best beans and it is made by following sustainable and green principles. To go with the coffee drink you will be offered fresh pastries and the rumour is that Karjase Sai — one of the most highly valued bakeries in Tallinn — is supplying the cafe with these.
Pavlova
Cafe Pavlova is the cherry on top of the experiences offered by Food Hall. The airy mini cakes are made right in front of the visitor in just a few minutes. The sweet clouds made of meringue, whipped cream, berries and fruit are a treat for many senses: this is a visual and gastronomical pleasure at the same time. If you don’t fancy the pavlovas this time, you can certainly find the perfect treat in the selection of puffs and eclairs. You cannot find any on this level in the city centre!
