K Peppersack, Viru 2, T 646 6800, http://www.peppersack.ee. 1100-2400. Opposite Olde Hansa (see above), this cavernous place hits the mark in terms of service and design: the dimly lit medieval-style interior is undeniably romantic. The food, however, is hit and miss. Try Against the Plague (pickled pork neck with cheese potato and house schnapps), or Artisans Dream (grilled beef fillet with oven-baked potatoes and sea-buckthorn sauce). KKK Cathedral, Lossi plats 2/Toomkooli 1, T 6443 548, http://www.cathedral.ee. Mon-Sat 1200-1100, Sun 1200-1800. A formal, elegant restaurant frequented by businessmen and MPs. The menu features Russian and French cuisine and is long on alcohol-flavoured dishes: mussels in wine, frogs legs with cognac, grilled trout with white wine or pheasant fillet in apple cider. KK Le Paris, Toompuiestee 27, T 66 7105, http://www.meriton.ee 0630-2200. Top-notch international cuisine is on the menu at the Meriton Grand Hotel Tallinns ground-floor restaurant. The weekday lunch buffet cold meats, salads and fish is amazingly good value, at 95 EEK for the hot buffet and 150 EEK for both hot and cold. K Olematu Rüütel, Kiriku põik 4a, T 631 3827, http://www.hot.ee/ olematuryytel. Mon-Sat 1200-2100, Sun 1200-1700. Surprisingly inexpensive given its Toompea location, the Non-Existent Knight serves the usual mix of solid Estonian pork dishes, as well as soups and salads. K Pika Jala Restoran, Pikk jalg 16, T 644 1344, http://www.pikajala.ee. Mon-Sat 1000-2300, Sun 1000-2200. Theres a French emphasis to the food at this trendy restaurant with a bright exposed-brick interior. Try blinis with red caviar and smoked trout, scampi with pike mousse and savoy cabbage or fillet steak. K Toomkooli Tõllad, Toomkooli 13, T 644 6613, http://www.toomkooli.ee. 1200-2400. Rustic atmosphere, views across the city to the sea, and decent snacks and salads.

Mon-Fri 1200-2400, Sat 1800-2400. One of Tallinns finest restaurants with an enviable reputation. The views from the 14th floor are jaw-dropping, the service is impeccable and the food is otherworldly: Saaremaa deer with truffle sauce and armagnac and perfectly cooked pike-perch. The wine list is similarly well judged.

Much less formal than the hotels restaurant, the pub-like brasserie serves surprisingly good global food: Russian-style salmon roe with pancakes, tender veal in masala and Georgian-style shashlik. Good Sunday brunch too. K Baieri Kelder, Roosikrantsi 2a, T 640 7425, http://www.scandic-hotels.com, 1200-2300. This atmospheric, Bavarian-style red-brick cellar serves generous portions of good-quality sausages, dumplings and sauerkraut.
