Eating in Tartu: Da Vinci Pasta & Pizza

First Impressions

Located in Tasku shopping centre is this Italian inspired restaurant. It is a prototype of all shopping centre restaurants, with its edgeless interior and all-pleasing menu. Because of its location the atmosphere is very busy and restless. If you enjoy people watching (you creepo!) then Da Vinci offers the perfect views for this.

The Food

The menu contained a variety of pizzas and pastas to choose from. The pizza was a pizza, nothing special about it and so was the pasta. The only truly redeeming aspect of Da Vinci was the Italian Gelato selection. The ice-cream was creamy and soft, with flavors such as blood orange and Amaretto. If you closed your eyes you would think you are in Milan, but still in a shopping centre.

Bokkila Ordered:

Pollo Fantasia - Mozzarella, chicken, Gorgonzola, sweet peppers, pineapple, oregano

Tortelloni with Parma Ham in a Parmesan Sauce

Eating in Tartu: Restoran München

First Impressions

When you walk in this pub-restaurant you feel transported to the German countryside. The decor is plentiful, but not overwhelming. There are many rooms to explore and every room is unique. In the true spirit of German pub culture the beer is flowing and the food is hearty.

The Food

Looking for that special Wurst? How about some good old Schnitzel? Well don't look too far, for this is the place you have been dreaming of. The spicy beef goulash was hot and steamy. The taste was right on the spot and the beef so tender it just melted away. The only let down was the unnecessarily dry Apfelstrudel with a microscopic amount of vanilla sauce.

Eating in Tartu: Hot Pot

First Impressions

This establishment is a typical Estonian Asian restaurant that serves dishes from all around Asia. You will find your Indian tikka masala, your Thai green curry or your Chinese Peking chicken. The interior is modern with a splash of stereotypical Asian inspired trinkets.

The Food

You will get exactly what you expect, the food is moderately spicy, but the taste is not mono-flavored. There is an extensive use of various spices. The butter chicken was creamy, but the chicken was dry. Bokkila was very pleased with the stuffed naan, but the plain naan was a disappointment as it was dry and thin. If you want basic non-surprising Asian food, this is your place!
