Paju Villa — Restaurant in Tallinn

I came here on warm summers day in august. It's away from the city around a €5 taxi ride but it's defiantly worth it. Let me explain it is a beautiful old villa located in the suburbs surround by gardens and greenery with a very light & open feeling to it.

Now the food...

For starter I had the beef oriental beef tartar. It was sublime. so delicate and the flavours from the oriental sauces really worked with the dish a piece of art in its self with them serving it in a coconut shell.

We paid 98€ for 2 people having starters + main course (out of desert). IMO, nothing justified any...

Unfortunately, my expectations weren't met. The service is kind and fast enough, interior's pretty, atmosphere is nice, cocktails great sized and very tasty. The food was tasty too, however the portions were small even for fine dining. I had fried halibut with roasted potato cream and vegetables, and even though my lunch was huge that day, I was legit hungry still afterwards. For such money, the portions should actually feed you, in my opinion. The dessert rhubarb honey tuille was delicious and here the size is understandable as...
