About the restaurant

Cuisine: European

Vana Toomas opened in a fresh and updated form at the beginning of this year, and together with the new head chef Karl Ever, the restaurant will have a new look from autumn 2023. Vana Toomas is a restaurant with a beautiful view in the old town of Tallinn, where history and a cozy atmosphere meet. In addition to updating the interior, the restaurant has also moved in a modern direction with the food, while respecting Estonian traditions and classics. Both local restaurant visitors and tourists who want to get to know the flavors of Estonia will surely find a suitable dish in the new menu selection. Thinking of cooler weather, the menu has included, for example, shrimps with saffron, the hot broth of which makes the inside hot and makes the cheeks flush pleasantly.
