So we visited Tallinn in September-October this past year. We also ate at The Third Dragon. Loved watching your video both before and after. We saw many of the sights you did. Tallinn is a beautiful place. I think we stayed too long thought... about two weeks. Thanks for putting out your videos! We get a kick out of them.
We were there in the easter and supper fun place! Loved the soup and all! Really fun to have ladies behind the counter beeing in rude caracter😂 all and all a must when in Tallinn🇪🇪🇧🇻
How is it so empty? Covid time? For me as a Tallinner it was great. I enjoyed having just the pure city for once, without all the crowds. It was incredible
I went there about two months after you did and it is worth the visit, amazing food and the way the the staff are so informative about the period pushes it over the top.
Why are some people so obsessed with food? When I travel, the food is the least important thing on my list. Except in Turkey, Turkish food is amazing. But usually, food is like gas to a car. You need it but it is a boring topic to talk about for me.
I've been going to Draakon (third Dragon) since over a decade when it used to be called "Tristan and Isolde" the best thing they serve is the "Worthy Elk Soup" and schnapps. Go at night in the summer and have a whole different experience!
@@HaleyandZach in the summer it's way busier, lots of us musicians eat there so sometimes live music is being busked out side or a whole band from Finland is doing shots while others dance to medieval instruments. Very social then. Even fire dancers in the old square. Or go to the Xmas market time of year there. If you go back and you want a fancy version of this restaurant go its parent restaurant (same employees and owner) "Old Hansa" spendy but worth it. Get anything they make with seabuckthorn- unique in the world.
Ha-ha. You were looking for a restaurant on Toompea hill:) There are no restaurants or cafes there. I have no idea why. Maybe because in the evenings people are lazy to climb up there so there would be much clientele. But again, more piece for those who just want the Old town without all the annoying additions. There is a Greek restaurant there but it is open only sometimes in summer. And a cafe also, but also only in summer. In winter the place is quite empty. And honestly, I hope it stays that way. It makes me think about the times when there was nothing here yet, before the Danish invasion, before the first stone buildings. Just a hill (There was an Estonian fortress somewhere but nobody knows exactly where, there are different theories). There is also a play which was staged in Toompea, in one of the castles there. It was an imaginary speech of an imaginary first Danish king who is meditating on Toompea hill before the first ever battle, with nothing there yet. So the audience can just sit and listen and look out of the huge windows looking down on all the buildings that were not there yet during the imagined speech. One of my best memories ever in my home town. And I hope for that vibe to continue, the kind of emptyness that will remind us that there is something special about that place and it is more than a tourist trap. It is the place where written culture and stone buildings began in Estonia in early 1200s. Later it became the place of winter residents of the country gentry because it was easier to mingle in winter when close to each other, with all the snow and ice in the country. It was, by the way, a separate town, not really a part of Tallinn, or Reval, as it was called back then. It had different laws, different masters, and did not get along with Tallinn at all. There is even a wall between them. Nice music, by the way There are much nicer mediaeval restaurants here, by the way. You ended up in a meeting place for drunk Finns, really. Overpriced, and as you said, nothing special. And definitely not mediaeval. If you ever come here again, try Olde hansa or peppersack (right around the corner). They actually do proper research when it comes to mediaeval food (but also have modern stuff, like espresso), the furniture, dishes, costumes, music etc. It is also quite expensive but i would not say pricy because it would definitely be worth it. And in Peppersack (cafe and restaurant, separately) they do live mediaeval shows and concerts like around 21.30. Olde Hansa is something Estonians also go to, so it is not a cheap tourist trap. Not for everyday eating, cause it is not cheap, but once in a while. And they would know about each dish or drink where it came from, where the ingredients came from etc. they know what they are doing. They do not just throw you clumsy clay dishes and pickled and think they have a right to call that mediaeval. Jees, you just made me want to go and eat there tonight

We miss this place! That sounds so good! Haley loves pickles so it has been one of our favorite restaurants we visited this year!

We walked by old hansa so many times! We love the Baltics can't wait to go back :)

Lovely video! I was born in Tallinn. What is the background music? I'd love to hear the full track.
Thank you! I don't remember what it is called, it was from epidemic sound
use music/song recognizer
Great job on the video!!

Nice music, by the way

It most likely is.
Yes it is! Tallinn was the first city we visited on this journey!
