Eating in Tartu: Genialistide Klubi

First Impressions

This is a piece of Berlin in Tartu, the ultimate undergroundish club/bar/restaurant/venue. Like its cousins in Berlin, this establishment emits Bohemian vibes. Genialistide Klubi is located in an old house and the interior is rough, but in a cozy way. The furniture is variable with different pieces that seem to be collected from various flea markets. There are a lot of small details, which makes you feel like you are in your eccentric grandma's cottage, there is even a fireplace during the winters. The atmosphere is genuine, it is not forced on the visitor, it just is. The staff is friendly and welcoming, adding a lot to the atmosphere. 


This is a multi-facaded venue, which during the weekends provides events such as concerts, stand-up and parties. This is the only bar in Tartu at the moment to offer monthly gay friendly parties. The downstairs serves as a bar and during the day as an eatery.



The Food

The food reflects the Bohemian hipstery vibe of the place. There are only vegetarian options on offer and the menu is quite innovative with surprising combinations of ingredients. The prices are cheap, varying from 2 euro soups to 5 euro main courses. The menu consists of salads, pastas, wraps and desserts. 

Bokkila ordered:

Spinach Pasta with Coconut Milk - This is a surprising yet delicious combination that works perfectly. The taste of coconut comes nicely through, but is not overwhelming. The portion size is adequate. 5/5

Vegan Pancakes - You get four medium-sized pancakes with what would seem home made jam. You can taste that the pancakes are made without products of animal origin, but as far as vegan goes, they are pretty tasty. 3/5

Wostok Plum and Cardamom Lemonade - This German Lemonade label is all about bringing together delicious flavors for the customers taste buds. This soda was pleasantly sweet and fruity. A very nice combination.
