In the blog www.elrincondesele.com I found very interesting information about the places to visit in Tallinn and, above all, a restaurant for having lunch. The restaurant is called Olde Hansa and is absolutely medieval.
The restaurant building, located in the old city center and near the Town's Hall Square, is like a medieval 3-storey house with a gabled roof. Next to the front door, a horse cart gives the medieval appearance.

And inside everything was like in the medieval era when Tallinn was a trade hub in the Baltic: tables and chairs, soft light, the waiters were dressed and speak to you with the accent of two centuries ago, you drink beer in jugs and food on huge plates. I ordered a delicious beer flavored with cinnamon. And the food was succulent. Anecdotally, when asking for the bill, the waiter asked: in cash or in horses?
