Set right on the coastline 20 mins north of Tallinn in a beautiful building is this chic place. Make sure to get a reservation as it is always packed. A set course menu runs 89 euros and you can pair it with matching wines. Food is excellent- particulary successful was squid porridge and leaks with truffles. Sommelier needs some further studying....

The space design is “Cool-Nordic-Chic”, which CAN be intimidating, but get over it because this place is definitely worth your time. Great food (ESPECIALLY the lunch menu), great staff . . . We’ve only been in town two days and we’ve eaten here three times already! I hope they don’t get tired of us before we have to leave.

Went there for saturday evening dinner. No need for dressing up as t shirt seems to be normal. Starters were fantastic, tiger prawn and meat tartar. Main course 250 gr marinad entrecote, good 8/10 points. Lamb was tough and dry, was not good ,3/10 points. Sorry to say starters ok but maincourse must be better.

The foie gras was so very small myself & my husband both had the foie gras , & what we had per person should have been for one person .It was 2 very thin slices & you had to take it off the garlic bread as the garlic bread was overpowering the taste of the foie gras The main we both had the lamb chops which were nice But with a bottle of wine 116 euro we thought was expensive for What food we had . It’s not fine dining at the end of the day

I stopped at this restaurant while strolling in Roterman City near the port. The place is very cozy and well decorated. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I ordered the fried prawns and the Juniper creme brûlée. Both tasty and showing creative presentation. Overall very pleased.

We opted for the 11 course menu and it is an interesting experience! Some courses were great (e.g. elk) whilst others weren't (like the fish courses). There's also a 'bread ' course which is fine but fills you up and the quality is poor. For us there was way too much smokey flavour and, coupled with pickles or dill oil on almost all courses, made everything taste too similar. By the middle we were bored with the food. Sadly, it wasnt good enough for the 100 euro per head price. The service however was excellent.

We booked this restaurant ahead of visiting Tallinn because it was so highly ranked in TripAdvisor but our experience was far better than we could have expected. The staff are very welcoming and attentive, without being intrusive to your evening. There is a fine selection of wine, and whilst we hadn’t sampled many of the menu choices before, our waitress was very enthusiastic and obliging in helping us select our dishes. I would particularly recommend the braised elk roast for main, and warm chocolate cake for dessert as these dishes particularly stood out. The atmosphere is very cool and relaxed, and the décor is befitting to such a mellow place. We were very pleasantly surprised by the bill too, as for what I’d describe as a fine dining experience, the prices are extremely reasonable! To sum up: Delicious food, exceptional service, great value for money and I would have no hesitation in going back on my next visit to Tallinn.

I visited Puri with my partner last night. The staff are very attentive! The ambiance and decor of the place is really warm with Scandinavian tones. The food is excellent! The waiter went out of his way to make my partners birthday very special and memorable. When I booked I asked for a table with a view and that was what I was given albeit being a little late! I hope that this level of service excellence continues as I will definitely be back!!Thank you for your feedback. It's our pleasure to make your evening special. We are glad you enjoyed it. Will do our best to push the service level even higher to exceed your expectations.
