Tallinn has a wide and varied assortment of restaurants and eateries, ranging from the traditional establishments offering Estonian as well as international food, to ethnic restaurants, pizzerias and also some fine dining places. There are even some restaurants offering typical Medieval dishes.

Main courses in a restaurant will normally cost between 90 and 100 EEK but cafes, bars and pubs often offer much cheaper alternatives. Restaurants are usually open until 11pm or midnight. Vegetarian meals are harder to come by with soups and salads often containing hidden meat; ethnic restaurants and pizzerias usually provide a safer option for offering vegetarian food.
