First Impressions
Lokaal Pirogov is mainly a bar, but during the week they offer daily soups during lunchtime. The bar is located along the main pedestrian street "Rüütli", where most of the bars in Tartu are located. As a bar, this is a good place to hang out with friends and have a beer or two. The speciality of this bar are small intimate booths covered with mirrors, which are suitable for two to three people. The atmosphere is young and hip and a lot of foreign students spend their time here. There is a fussball table in the back, where you can find the locals having their tournaments. The beer is cheap, and often they have good offers on drinks. During the daytime, Pirogov is more like a cafeteria. It's the perfect place to go have a warm soup during a cold day and watch the people walk pass on Rüütli.
The Food
There are five different daily soups on the menu, which are the same every week. The soup portion sizes are big and they cost 3 euros. In addition to the soups, there is usually some cake and different snacks on offer as well. The prices are low, and it is possible to offer a combo meal for less than 5 euros, which consists of the daily soup, cake and a cup of coffee.
Bokkila ordered:
Goulash soup - This is a spicy and tasty soup with a lot of meat. They have really thought about how to make a hearty dish. Usually lunch soups are lean and thin on meat, but this soup is the opposite with proper beef (No pork!) and lots of different veggies, not just potatoes and meat. 5/5
Eggplant cream with grilled bread - The cream is plentiful and delicious with a lot of garlic. A good side dish with a beer or for just a small bite. 5/5
Brita Cake - The cake seems home made. It was not as fluffy and fresh as one would expect of a brita cake, but an okay cake. 2.5/5
