Restaurants in Tallinn and Helsinki
In Tallinn, in the center, there is a restaurant "Olde Hansa" that recreates the medieval era. Being totally touristy, it is a good experience to go to lunch or dinner one day. It is fully set and have a letter in Spanish. We choose a couple of dishes, because the menus seem too copious and we don't feel like eating so much.
Chicken with almonds and Meat with garnish ... Everything great and for less than 40 euros.
