Russian-European haute cuisine in the heart of Tallinn's Old Town
Tucked inside the historic Hotel Telegraaf in Tallinn's Old Town, Tchaikovsky is a dining experience steeped in grandeur. Named after the legendary composer, this Michelin Guide restaurant elevates Russian-European haute cuisine to an art form, served in surroundings worthy of a St. Petersburg palace.
Crystal chandeliers cast a warm glow over tables dressed in crisp white linen, while live piano music provides an elegant soundtrack. The menu draws on both Russian and Western European culinary traditions, featuring classics like beef Stroganoff reimagined with modern techniques alongside Estonian game and Baltic seafood.
The wine cellar is one of Tallinn's most extensive, with particular strength in French and Georgian selections. Impeccable service, where every detail is attended to with discreet professionalism, makes Tchaikovsky the restaurant of choice for special occasions and visiting dignitaries.
