III Draakon — Restaurant in Tallinn

It seems interesting to visit this restaurant for Medieval dining experience. However, I was not used to the rude service though I think that was done on purpose to give you the Medieval vibes, that’s what the pub is like back in that time where knights usually went.

When I walked in, there’s only one lady at the counter, I asked her for a menu, she said there’s no menu, so I decided to show her the photo I saw on Google map for the food I want to order. But she refused to see it and asked me to put away my phone, saying that the only way to order is just talk to her. So I ask what do they have? They got elk soup, pastries, beef sausages and beef ribs. I only visited alone, wouldn’t be able to order too much as I got no one to share, so I ordered the beef rib and a pint of beer.

She also gave me a small plate that I can use to get some gherkins in a big barrel next by. You can get as many as you want, but it’s like fishing in a river, you can only use a wooden fork they provided to get the gherkins. It’s hard to get them out because there’s a lot of water inside, but only a few gherkins in the big deep barrel. It took me a while to just get two out, then I gave up. You do need them to eat with the beef rib, the rib is big but most part is hard to chew and the meat is very salty. I wouldn’t call is tasty.

BTW, the toilet is super dirty. I understand they don’t really provide any service to give you the Medieval vibes, but please can you at least clean the toilet? It smells so bad, lots water or pee on the floor, and you can see some small flies m or bugs flying inside, so disgusting!)

Overall, it’s an interesting restaurant to visit for fun but I don’t think I would want to visit here again. The food is overpriced (20 euros for the rib)given the bad quality and the...

Ill Draakon is a fantastic place to experience a medieval atmosphere. Before going, we read some reviews that made us nervous (people complained about tipping before ordering and the staff being rude). However, we didn’t experience any of that. The woman serving us was always in character, direct, but never rude. Yes, she did ask for a tip, but we felt it was fair since she was the only one serving in this small place. The lack of a traditional menu was a little tricky, as the options were on the walls, and English isn’t my first language. However, I had heard that the famous dish was elk soup, so I ordered that. My friends took a risk and ordered other items, and we all agreed that the food was great(one ordered tail, and the other had game meat with sauerkraut I believe). Everything was delicious. The restaurant itself is small and cozy, with two areas and around 12 tables. It can get busy, so be prepared to share a table, especially if you’re dining at peak hours. We went for dinner at 7 PM and shared a table with two other people. The bathroom is tiny and definitely adds to the medieval experience. There’s only one person who greets you, takes your order, and serves the food. She stays in character the entire time, which really enhances the experience. We had two beers (one light and one dark), both cold and refreshing. Along with the famous elk soup, we tried a meat pie and the game meat with sauerkraut. The total for two people came to about 43, and we rounded it to 50 to leave a tip. Overall, it was a great experience, and we would definitely...

Tucked away in the heart of Tallinn’s Old Town, III Draagon is a truly unique dining experience that takes you back to the Middle Ages. The moment you step inside, you’re transported into a medieval tavern — dimly lit rooms, rustic wooden tables, and servers dressed in authentic medieval costumes. The atmosphere feels both cozy and mysterious, as if you’ve stepped into a different century. The restaurant offers a small but memorable menu. One of the highlights is their bone soup, a rich and flavorful broth filled with lentils, carrots, and pieces of bone marrow. It’s not only delicious but also fun to eat — or rather, drink — since it’s served in a clay bowl without a spoon, so you sip it directly, just like in the old days. The portion is generous, and for just 5 euros, it’s an excellent value. To accompany your meal, you can enjoy a pint of beer for 7 euros, along with freshly baked bread. There are two cozy rooms inside, each with 4–5 tables, and four outdoor tables that can seat around 20 people. The ambiance is peaceful, especially in the evening when the lights are low. The tavern also provides separate restrooms for men and women; they’re free for guests, but there’s a small fee (€1) for outsiders. Payments can be made in cash or by card. Overall, III Draagon is a must-visit for tourists seeking an authentic and entertaining medieval experience in Tallinn. It’s not just a meal — it’s a journey...
