Baieri Kelder (The Bavarian Cellar), Tallinn

Advantages: The residue of earlier centuries
Disadvantages: The residue of the Soviet era

...or stewed meat with plenty of vegetables seems to be staple – and restaurants tend to feel it’s necessary to serve it in a mediaeval setting to make it interesting. Avoiding the Olde Hansa, which is famous, in tour guides at least, for its candlelight, spit-roasts and serving-wenches in period costume, we tried the almost-mirror-image Peppersack opposite. Here we enjoyed quite a tasty meal, but one which, with booze, came in at 720kr for two – about £18 a head.

And always bought ferry tickets from local travel agent or straight from... Read review
