The best French food in Tallinn, according to the experts: the White Guide and the Michelin Guide have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Tchaikovsky comes out on top.
-
Rank 1. Tchaikovsky
Modern French
A glass roof, a chandelier, gilt frames on every wall, and a living green wall behind glass that keeps the room from feeling too buttoned-up. Tchaikovsky is a formal restaurant inside Hotel Telegraaf, in the middle of Tallinn's Old Town, serving refined cooking that layers classical French technique with Russian touches. The Siberian dumplings with horseradish beurre blanc are the kind of thing that makes you wonder why more places don't combine the two traditions.

Rank 3. Lee Brasserie
French
Red banquettes and mirrored walls give this French brasserie a classically Parisian feel, though the terrace sits right up against Tallinn's medieval city walls, which is a detail Paris cannot offer. The cooking leans Gallic but wanders into Italian and Asian territory without making a fuss about it. You choose between a concise à la carte or a six-course sharing menu, and the room is cosy enough that neither feels like a commitment you'll regret.
