About

Like the famous Telliskivi Creative City in Tallinn, Tartu has its former industrial quarter - Widget Factory - converted into anup-and-coming area. Far from being a cheap imitation, it may well surpass Tallinn’s. One of the first residents of the former factory floor, Aparaat offers simple food with an excellent price-quality ratio. While new eateries have sprung uparound it like mushrooms after rain, Aparaat carries onas usual.

The fare offered on rough furniture in a factory setting is rapidly becoming an institution inits own right for the younger citizens. Take, for example, the hamburger. The frequent dish encountered in Estonian restaurants. The Aparaat pulled pork burger with potato peels is sweetish, juicy, and definitely the tastiest in its price category – if not across all categories.

All other dishes follow suit. This simplicity is the underlying magic of the Aparaat’s success, served with a smile...
