First Impressions
This establishment resides in the town square and is one of the local favourites. The interior is neutrally modern and is more like a lounge than a proper restaurant. The staff is always friendly, cheery and makes you feel welcome. During the summer months the restaurant has a terrace with an excellent location in the heart of the city centre. The Food
The menu is upscale and is updated according to the season. The prices are higher than average, but are explained by the centre location and the high quality of the ingredients. There is a wide selection of drinks with pitcher options for tequila sunrise and strawberry margaritas, which are perfect to share on warm summer evening.
Bokkila ordered:
Maitsev Tartu Menu - Every spring in Tartu, a number of restaurants take part in the "Tasty Tartu" -month. Every restaurant designs a menu of a starter, main course and a dessert. The menu of Truffe had a starter of salted trout with dill mayo on a bread, a main dish of lamb with mushroom cream and garlic potatoes and a dessert of chocolate mousse with buckthorn sorbet.
The starter - The trout was delicious, and all the ingredients complimented each other resulting in a harmonious combination. 5/5
The main course - This was a confusing dish. The colour of the mushroom cream was suspicious and the layout of it on the plate was really off putting. Moreover, the potatoes were cold. On the other hand, the lamb was very well cooked and the taste of the mushroom cream was good. All in all, the dish was very difficult to eat, since the layout was so unpleasant. 2/5
The dessert - The chocolate mousse was thick and the fresh tasting buckthorn sorbet went well together with it. In contrast to the previous dish, the layout was beatiful. 3/5
Creamy Veil Pasta with Mushrooms - The pasta was cooked al dente and the sauce was creamy and rich with flavour. The veil was tender and the mushrooms were fresh. One of the best pasta dishes in Tartu. 5/5
Chocolate Cheese Marble Cake - The best cake in Tartu, and probably the world. Words cannot do this cake justice. A gateway to heaven. The only downside is that the price is 6 euros for a piece of cake, which is outrageous. No restaurant in Tartu has such high prices for desserts. 5/5
