👑 Congratulations to MEAT Resto & Butchery – the Most Visited Restaurant!
MEAT Resto & Butchery claimed the TOP 1 spot once again, just like in October 2024! 🥳😋
The restaurant received high praise from visitors for its excellent flavours and perfectly prepared beef tenderloin, with service staff offering spot-on recommendations for preferred doneness.
Desserts, especially the chocolate fondant, were also praised, although a few visitors noted that the texture could be improved in some cases. Guests loved the cozy interior and inviting atmosphere, which added to their overall dining experience.
Service was generally highly rated, but there were a few mentions of tired or less friendly staff during busy hours. Some visitors also reported longer waiting times when the restaurant was crowded. A few guests wished for more detailed explanations of the dishes, as they had to consult the menu on their own.
Despite minor issues, most visitors were very satisfied and plan to return again. Suggestions for improvement included faster service and a wider variety of sides to accompany the meat.
🥈 Trofe – Tallinn’s 2nd Most Popular Restaurant During FoodLover Restaurants Week 2025
Trofe restaurant, located in the heart of Tallinn, was once again ranked 2nd most visited during the 15th FoodLover Restaurants Week, held from February 13–23, 2025 – repeating its success from previous events! 🥳
Guests shared highly positive feedback, praising the outstanding flavours, beautiful presentation, and friendly, professional service.
Many visitors highlighted that all three courses were thoroughly enjoyable, with well-matched food and wine pairings that had clearly been thoughtfully curated. Special mentions included the beef carpaccio, salmon, duck breast, and the signature chocolate fondant.
The restaurant’s atmosphere also received top marks – described as cozy and intimate, with soft background music that allowed for easy conversation. Guests said they felt welcome and relaxed, creating a memorable and enjoyable dining experience.
🔍 Minor areas for improvement were noted, such as the location of the restroom, limited space for hanging coats, or occasional issues with dish texture or doneness. A few guests also commented on quiet or less interactive service, and in some cases, overheard loud conversations near the bar.
Despite these minor issues, the overall impression was excellent, and the majority of guests said they look forward to returning.
Trofe left a strong, lasting, and highly positive impression, securing its position as one of Tallinn’s favourite dining destinations during Restaurant Week.
🥉 Platz – One of Tallinn’s Most Praised Dining Spots During Restaurant Week Estonia 2025
Ranked #3 in the FoodLover Restaurants Week 2025, Platz in Tallinn impressed guests with its high-quality food, carefully curated menu, and welcoming atmosphere.
Some of the most complimented dishes included the handmade ravioli, grilled octopus, duck breast, and salmon in miso butter. Desserts were also a popular choice, though a few visitors found them slightly less memorable compared to the mains.
Guests praised the well-balanced flavors and thoughtful menu design. The service received excellent reviews – staff were consistently described as friendly, attentive, and accommodating. While some diners felt the question “Is everything okay?” was asked a bit too often, it reflected the team’s genuine desire to provide a top-quality dining experience.
A few guests noted that in some cases, wine was added to the bill even though it was initially offered as a complimentary house treat. The cozy and intimate ambiance was appreciated, although noise from nearby tablesoccasionally disrupted the otherwise relaxing atmosphere. Some also mentioned drafts from open doors affecting comfort during their visit.
Additional minor feedback included running out of draft beer, warm bottled beers, and a lack of table salt unless requested.
Despite these small issues, most guests were very satisfied with their overall experience – from food and service to the restaurant’s vibe. Many said they would gladly return to Platz, confirming its place among the top restaurants in Tallinn.
🧭 #4 – Mere Resto: Stylish Interior, Strong Flavours, and Room for Improvement
Mere Resto in Tallinn earned 4th place in FoodLover Restaurants Week Estonia 2025, thanks to its elegant atmosphere, flavourful dishes, and signature cocktails. Diners particularly praised the meat and seafood selection, especially the three-fish carpaccio and the indulgent Dubai chocolate cake – both among the most memorable highlights.
While many appreciated the polite and attentive service, others reported that staff were slow and disorganized at times. The most common issue mentioned was long waiting times – in some cases, the main course arrived more than 1.5 hoursafter ordering.
Guests also pointed out order mistakes, such as incorrect cocktails, cold side dishes, or menu changes without any explanation. Opinions on the atmosphere were mixed: some loved the stylish interior, while others found loud music and hookah smoke disruptive, especially for a dinner setting expected to be more relaxed.
Despite mostly positive remarks on food quality, there were concerns about portion sizes and temperature – some found the servings too large, others too small. Overall, the experience felt uneven: the food and drinks were praised, but the service speed and flow of the evening left room for improvement.
Guests recommended that staff provide better communication, and that dishes be introduced more clearly. While some diners said they would return, others felt the visit didn’t live up to expectations.
🌿 #5 – Farm Restaurant: Warm Hospitality, Delicious Duck, and Cozy Vibes
Farm, located in central Tallinn, secured the 5th place during Restaurant Week Estonia 2025. The restaurant stood out for its excellent service, relaxed atmosphere, and well-executed dishes.
Guests highlighted the tender and juicy duck breast and the apple strudel, which was perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. The service received consistent praise, especially for a server named Dmitri, who was described as professional and attentive.
The warm and intimate setting, combined with live music, created a pleasant evening ambiance. However, a few guests noted that the music volume was too high, making conversation difficult at times.
On the downside, some orders were delivered incorrectly, such as the wrong drinkware, unopened mussels, or inconsistent doneness for identical main courses. A few diners felt the special menu lacked excitement compared to the restaurant’s regular offering.
Other critiques included high drink prices and the fact that guests were charged for bottled water when they had expected a complimentary glass.
Despite minor shortcomings, most visitors were very pleased with the food, and appreciated the attentive service and warm setting. Farm remains a high-quality restaurant, but focusing more on details and consistency would further elevate the guest experience.
