MIX

Designed in vivid yellows, Mix is located on the lower ground floor of a Tallinn Old Town hotel. The din of the city center immediately fades away as you close the door behind you. In summer, there’s a small, equally quiet outdoor dining area in the garden, a grand luxury compared to Tallinn’s noisy restaurant terraces. The owner and head chef of Mix offers a bold signature cuisine with ingredients sourced from near and far, from Saaremaa to Sakhalin.

From a starter of hummus on local rye bread chips, to a house-made lemon aquavit to bid you farewell. And for the main course, why not a dish of wild boar, hunted on Saaremaa island, and accompanied by a particularly strong local mustard that is guaranteed to put hair on your chest, just like spicy Asian dishes do. Mix is particularly lovely at lunch when they offer a short but attractively priced, menu.
