Restaurant Farm

In the heart of the Old Town, Restaurant Farm offers modern Estonian cooking shaped by the country’s fields, forests and sea. Its website describes fresh rye bread with hemp seeds, vegetables from Estonian farms, dairy veal and handmade ice cream, served in a manor-inspired setting with a glass-walled kitchen. The entrance may be listed as Müürivahe 27b or Viru 11; both refer to the same restaurant in the medieval centre.

The idea is not to serve an unchanged old recipe book, but to work with local ingredients through current presentations. Comments repeatedly praise the produce, plating and decor; less positive reviews also describe service problems during busy periods and reservations that do not always run smoothly. The restaurant offers booking through its website and schedules live music on some Fridays and Saturdays, so it is worth checking what atmosphere is planned for your date.

The official website lists opening from 5:00 pm every day, closing at 10:00 pm Sunday to Thursday and 11:00 pm Friday and Saturday; the kitchen closes earlier. For a daytime meal, Rataskaevu 16 opens at midday and presents ingredients such as elk, smoked fish and Estonian cheeses in a restaurant menu; Farm, by contrast, concentrates the experience on dinner and a modern farm-to-table concept. Both are in the Old Town, but Farm feels better suited to a longer, pre-booked evening.
