Moon (Russian Restaurant), Tallinn

Note: We have not yet been to the new location – This review is based on the old location.

Overview

Moon is an elegant yet welcoming dog-friendly restaurant in Tallinn offering elevated Russian and Slavic-inspired cuisine in a warm, comfortable setting. The food is creative, beautifully presented, and consistently delicious, and the staff are friendly, efficient, and attentive. It’s also totally dog-friendly, making it a great choice for visitors exploring Tallinn with their pets.

Atmosphere & Dog-friendliness

Our dog was totally welcome and offered water, although there was not a huge amount of space (something which looks like it will be better in the new location). The restaurant has a cosy but refined feel, with an atmosphere that is relaxed yet special. Service is excellent—staff are friendly and professional, attentive without being intrusive, and perfectly time courses so the evening flows naturally.

Food & Drink

The menu is concise but diverse, offering snacks, starters, mains, and desserts, with some vegetarian options. We have had vodka-marinated salmon with horseradish sauce and homemade bread, wild game chebureki with adzika and marinated cherry plums, and Siberian dumplings in a rich mushroom stock—all excellent, with the dumplings a particular standout. For mains, the chicken à la Kiev was succulent with heavenly potato purée, and the roasted whitefish came with tasty sides and a light tartar sauce. Drinks included well-made Negronis, crisp local beers, and a smooth Spanish brandy.alue
Given the exceptional quality of food, drinks, and service, we found the prices very reasonable.

Summary

Moon is an excellent dog-friendly restaurant in Tallinn that delivers a high-quality, memorable dining experience with an inviting atmosphere and impeccable service. Perfect for those seeking refined Russian/Slavic dishes, whether dining with or without a four-legged companion.
