Best wine bars in the heart of Tallinn
The Rotermann Quarter is known for its unique architecture, art galleries, shops and restaurants. Thanks to its charming restaurants and cosy wine bars, the Rotermann Quarter has also become a destination for wine lovers to enjoy wine from different regions.
Whether you’re planning a night out with friends or a cosy rendezvous with a special someone, these four places with impressive wine lists are definitely worth a visit.
R14
Wine restaurant R14 is for lovers of authentic food and high quality wine. A place where flavour and wine combinations are in harmony thanks to the collaboration between the chef and the sommelier. Of course, it helps that the restaurant is partnered with the Rein Kasela Veinituba, whose carefully selected wines complement each of R14’s dishes inspired by Mediterranean cuisine. What’s more, the list of wines sold by the glass at R14 is as long as the total wine list at some other restaurants! R14 also offers training and degustation sessions and the opportunity to buy a wine of your choice to take home.
Take me thereTime To Wine
Time To Wine, which first opened its doors in Rotermanni in 2021, is the second project of the Time To Wine wine bar, and in a short period of time it has managed to earn a remarkable position in the Tallinn wine scene. What makes Time To Wine special? Thanks to wine dispensers, each visitor can taste 24 different wines of different price and taste categories. Highly qualified staff – sommeliers who are attentive to their customers’ wishes – are doing their best to offer wine lovers new experiences. Time to Wine’s appetizer menu is also praiseworthy, offering the perfect gastronomic companion for every wine. Time to Wine is also a multiple winner in international competitions and has been awarded titles such as ‘Best By The Glass List in Baltics 2023’, ‘Best Long List in Baltics 2023’, ‘Best Sparkling List in Baltics 2023’ and ‘Grand Prix 2023’ at the Star Wine List Awards.
Take me thereFlamm
Are you looking for a cozy and pleasant place to enjoy good wine and excellent company? Flamm is the epitome of simplicity in the best sense. The main attraction here is Flammkuchen, marvelous flame-cooked pies originating from Alsace, which are prepared right before your eyes in a blazing oven. These delicacies are complemented by a well-thought-out wine selection that enhances the flavors of Flammkuchen and offers a memorable taste experience as the main character.
Take me therePlatz
With its timeless interior, Platz always evokes a feeling of warmth – during the day amidst the limestone walls, in the evening in the soft candlelight. But the main thing is what’s on offer – there’s always something to suit all tastes on Platz’s carefully thought-out menu. The restaurant has also invested heavily in creating and developing its wine list – the list of natural wines is longer than the dessert menu, not to mention the selection of sparkling or classic white and red wines. So it’s not a bad thing if, when visiting Platz, you feel like chatting over a glass of wine, for hours and hours if necessary.
Take me thereStalker
Although the café-restaurant-bar Stalker, which has established itself in Rotermann’s Ajamaja, is best known for its tempting cocktails, Stalker also has something special in store for wine lovers. There’s a unique wine dispenser to choose a favourite drink from for the evening ahead. So if you’re a wine lover but your date prefers a cocktail, or vice versa, Stalker has committed to taking care of both of you. It should be noted that the glass of wine of your choice can be accompanied by a nice dinner on the spot, so that the visit is not too brief.
