Food

Close to the venue

• Pirosmani :Georgian restaurant, not far from the IT college (can definitely walk there). The shashlik they cook over there is a must!
• Bogdan :Ukraine restorant - around 1km from IT College, address: Mustamäe tee 116. Decent Ukraine national dishes - from Borsh to Shaslik and hand made dumplings - at relatively good prices.

In the city

There are lots of restaurants and cafés in the famous Old Town of Tallinn so you won't have any problems finding a place to eat and hang out. Here are some recommendations:

• Von Krahli Aed: Good value for money. Try the risotto

• Kompressor: They serve huge pancakes that are a whole meal (seriously, eating a whole one is quite a challenge!)

• Golden Piglet Inn - large variety of true Estonian national food, including the famous Estonian blood sausage :) Address: Rataskaevu 7, Old Town (Hotel St. Petersbourg). Main corses are 13-25 EUR - but if your goal is to taste quality national dishes then this place might be right for you.

• Kloostri Ait Restaurant - located in Vene street 14 in Old Town - building that was once a part of Dominican order monastery. Kloostri Ait serves dishes mainly from Estonian and Russian cousine and has a nice bohemian athmosphere for drinking beer or wine and listening live jazz music.

• Olde Hansa - The Medieval Restaurant - taking you to journay back into medieval Hanseatic League Tallinn. Can be expensive - as they serve also rare delicacys like Bear meat - but if you are up to a unique experience with time machine... enough said.

Vegetarian and vegan friendly

• Chakra: Indian restaurant in Old Town Chakra website and menu (pdf). Typical Indian fare, including vegetarian; likely vegan food available as well

Pubs and bars

• Hell Hunt: Huge selection of beer and an awesome atmosphere are what make Hell Hunt a really unique place! They have food, too.
