Horisont Restoran & Baar | Tasting
About the restaurant
Cuisine: French / European
Located on the 30th floor of Swissôtel Tallinn, Restaurant Horisont is renowned for its exquisite cuisine, perfectly paired wines, and world-class cocktails. Offering a true fine dining experience in an elegant and refined setting, the restaurant invites guests on a culinary journey inspired by traditional flavors with a contemporary twist, using only the finest seasonal ingredients. The restaurant and bar take their name from the breathtaking panoramic views that can be enjoyed year-round — from the shimmering city lights of winter evenings to the unforgettable sunsets of summer nights. Horisont has earned significant recognition over the years: it has been featured in the Michelin Guide’s list of recommended restaurants in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, and has won the prestigious Silverspoon Award in the “Best Fine Dining Restaurant” category in 2016, 2018, 2022, and 2024. As an added highlight, guests can extend their evening at the adjacent Horisont Bar and exclusive Cigar Lounge, which boasts a curated selection of premium cigars — the perfect place to end the night in style.
