White Guide Baltic Restaurants - Very Fine Level

Our verdict

This must be one of Tallinn’s most distinctive spots and one of the city’s most notable culinary experiences. A cocktail bar and nightclub that serves excellent food. It is a good example of the way even strange concepts can work if their inventors put their hearts into things. The main attraction here is the ample and marvelously well-stocked bar, even the ignorant guest can’t help but notice the impressive array of booze on hand. Some extraordinary, even incredible cocktails are to be had.

About

This must be one of Tallinn’s most distinctive spots and one of the city’s most notable culinary experiences. A cocktail bar and nightclub that serves excellent food. It is a good example of the way even strange concepts can work if their inventors put their hearts into things. The main attraction here is the ample and marvelously well-stocked bar, even the ignorant guest can’t help but notice the impressive array of booze on hand.

Some extraordinary, even incredible cocktails are to be had. But they don’t completely steal the show as the crew in the tiny kitchen, tucked away in the cellar, work wonders too. Not a single tipple on the cocktail menu goes without house-made ingredients. The drinks are made to match the food and, vice versa, some dishes are created specifically to complement a particularly intriguing libation.

Tabac’s short menu of shareable dishes is brief enough for 3-4 people to try everything, including their designated cocktails. The result is among Tallinn’s.

Modern brasserie atmosphere in Tallinn’s Old Town with colorful, pungent cocktails and a creative, contemporary cooking style; the concept is positioned as a brasserie-and-bar rather than a formal dining room.
