KOMA Pühaste Õlleresto

While “koma” means comma in Estonian, the restaurant’s name is actually an amalgam of two meaningful words: “kogutud”––collected and “maitsed”––flavors. Indeed, Koma has become Tallinn’s go-to place for collecting (new) flavors. The good old chicken liver pâté served on bread is a grade silkier and its aromas more pronounced than you’re likely to find elsewhere. The unusual desserts display nuances that barely even register on the sweet side.

Daanius Aas is certainly one of Estonia’s most creative chefs. The beverage program is curated by Pühaste Beer Restaurant and includes rare craft brews as well beer cocktails created by Steffi Künnapu whose concoctions are often quite feminine, thus attracting quite a few female guests. The food- and drinks pairings are modern and elegant and come in small, yet flavorful portions.
