Your experience in this Tavern depends a lot on whether you have read their house rules or not (we read while queueing). I mentally prepared myself for three things: house ladies might come across as rude, I just have to play along and smile at their jokes, there is no cutlery and I must pay tips. The place has its unique atmosphere: semidarkness, rough wooden tables and chairs, big candles on the tables, soup from big barrel, landladies in folk clothes talking as if its 1920, clay dishes and pickled cucumbers you catch from the barrel with a large fork. We took two soups (2,5€×2=5€), two glasses of cranberry juice(2€×2=4€), 3 pies: meat, cabbage, carrot (1,5+1,5+1=4€). Paid with a card. House lady charged us 15€ while giving us a long speech how credit cards and banks are evil 😁 I guess, 2€ extra she charged as her tip since we didn't have cash with us 😁 I wasn't upset about her charging us two euros extra because we wanted to leave tip anyway and as per last house rule "the house lady is always right in a Tavern" ☝️ Soup and pickles were tasty. Our favourite pie is with cabbage. I definitely recommend this place but come with an open mind and keep some cash for tips.

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 poor service.

This is one of the best places I have visited for the medieval experience this is just like York or England UK where I have visted many times. We got recommended this place by the receptionist at our hotel. We was very grateful as we love our history and first time being here for a nightout . We wanted to enjoy the old town and the square for what it has to offer. We was very happy and pleased when we arrived to everything in the pub. The props , costumes even the candle lit everywhere. I really enjoyed the way the soup was served out of a huge bowl and we was only able to drink from the bowl no spoons or bread what an medieval experience. The pints of beer served in pots was something else !!! The service and the way they spoke to you made me laugh and smile. The famous soup was delicious and full of flavour we took many photos without the flash of course !!. And even enjoyed trying to fight with the pickles In the casket I got one !! . We loved it that much we went again the next day it was truly a beautiful experience and we surely we come back time and time again if open .

The lady was so helpful and explained the menu in very good English, they don't have menus because it is a medieval tavern. The elk and lentil soup was really tasty, but if you don't bring your own spoon, then you drink it from the bowl like the local Estonians 😁 The spinach pastry, the sausages and gherkins were okay, similar to what we get in England, but the pear cider was so strongly aromatic, that I could smell the pear as I lifted the jug, it was sweet, just how I like it 👌 The tavern has been designed and decorated as if it was hundreds of years old and there are lots of funny "warning" signs and rules. Expect broken crockery, stern dinner ladies, wholesome food and medieval style ales and ciders. Oh and dont forget to clean your own table and take the crockery back to the kitchen, otherwise you'll get a warning from the dinner ladies 😂 €13 was a reasonable price to pay and the tavern is in the heart of Old Town Tallinn in the main sqaure. Definitely worth a visit 😉

Located inside the rathaus, you get a very good medieval tavern experience. If you ever wanted to try how would it be drinking beer in Westeros, start here. The lady at the counter is playing her role well, treating you with honesty but in a politely funny way. There are no cutleries, so you need to drink the elk soup. Sausage is also tasty, you need to pick your own pickles from a barrel and you can get good ale with your food too. There are pastries with different kind of fillings (they call them "bread"), they go well with the soup. Be prepared for a crowd, as the place is popular for a reason. The atmosphere is unbeatable but the food tastes good as well so don't miss it if you are in Tallinn. Regarding prices it is certainly not cheap but not ultra expensive, it is worth it.

This place is unique. It is a bit small and dark, but the atmosphere is one of a kind. There are not so many choices. Everything is from 1.5€ to 3.5€, as far as I remember, except the ribs that are 10€ and 15€. I tried elkmeat soup (2.5€) which was delicious. The thing is that you don’t get any spoon, you just eat directly from the bowl. Also, I tried oxmeat sausages (3.5€) which were good. What I didn’t like is the fact that they don’t serve bread, only some pastries (1.5€). I needed bread for sausages and didn’t want pastry because it is oily and I wanted something a bit dried, in order to combat the sausages. Also, they don’t have table services. You have to wait at the lady counter to order. Anyway, the experience was really nice and it’s definitely a must do in Tallinn.
