Pubi RP 9 — Restaurant in Tartu linn

RP9 has proven a popular lunch spot and for good reason. Food is nice and servings are generous. You can't go wrong with tasty meat and taters'. They have a modest but well curated selection of IPAs as well as other non typical beers. Staff is uniformed and look sharp. The new decor is easy on the eyes and is in my opinion one of the coziest in Tartu. I took my family there on New Years Eve and everyone was pleased with their food. My partner ordered a lamb dish and she couldn't have been happier. I went all out and ordered the €23 Chicago steak with creamed potatoes and a salad. The meat was nice and tender. My only concern was the salad. I would offer this. Serve it with arugula, endives or frisé lettuce instead of the run of the mill lehtisalat. It is not a big difference price wise. Mix up the kobar tomatoes with some sun dried tomatoes. Throw some capers in there too for good measure. Then you will have a dish worth the asking price. All in all, a lovely evening and I will definitely come back...

After a long walk around the city of Tartu, we got hungry. After a quick look at the places in the Old Town, we decided to visit this spot. The food is straightforward, the prices are average. We ordered juustukattega kanafilee (chicken fillet with cheese topping). No complaints about the fillet—it was tender chicken breast with vegetables and cheese. But the fries were questionable. The main dish comes with mashed potatoes, but I chose to replace them with fries. In the end, the fries here looked like scraps—not the most appetizing version of French fries.

Another small downside: the menu didn’t mention that the dish includes onions under the cheese. For people who don’t eat this vegetable, it might be...

Service is NOT COOL. I ordered salmon soup with a side of sweet potato fries. I pointed to the menu. Apparently there is a side of fries that goes with the main dish and an appetizer of fries, different prices. So although I pointed to the small side of fries, the waitress charged me for the appetizer. Ugh. She said it was printed that the small portion was only to accompany the main dish. OK… THEN WHY NOT TELL ME THIS?!?! I just paid 15 euros for a snack. I would’ve gone to a proper restaurant! This is so exasperating! Also, she understood the misunderstanding, yet refused to offer a solution. Please try to improve customer service all...
