The best American food in Estonia, according to the experts: the White Guide and the Michelin Guide have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Pull comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Tallinn.

Rank 1. Pull
American Steakhouse
The anchor tenant of a converted 19th-century grain elevator in Tallinn's Rotermann district, Pull is a meat-forward grill restaurant where exposed stone walls and concrete pillars do most of the decorating. Dinner leans hard into charcoal-grilled Estonian cuts, with a "Dirty Steak" that has apparently earned its name. At lunch, almost everyone orders the dish of the day, which tells you something about the pricing.

Rank 2. Mere 38
New England American
A lime-green clapboard house in a small coastal village inside Lahemaa National Park, Mere 38 is a seasonal restaurant that leans New England in look, fleece-covered chairs and a big terrace, while the menu goes its own direction entirely. Elk dumplings and butter chicken schnitzel on the same concise card gives you a sense of the vibe. Pine forests and Baltic air do a lot of the heavy lifting on atmosphere, with the kitchen handling the rest.

Rank 2. Põhjala Tap Room
Texas Barbecue
The tap room sits on the first floor of an old submarine factory, now a craft brewery, with windows looking straight down onto the tanks doing their work below. It's a Texas BBQ and beer hall where slow-smoked meats and Põhjala drafts do most of the talking. The brisket goes twelve hours over oak and mesquite, and the spent hops find their way into certain dishes, which feels very on-brand for a brewery restaurant.
