Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is one of the most beautiful buildings in the old town, but also a popular tourist trap. Average food but too expensive. For some reason the service wants you to believe that you are a Master and you leave your medieval dream, but these...are only for the funs of Eurovision... By the way, the building is much more beautiful from outside rather than insideMore

Strange place. Huge. Noisy. Almost stressful. Completed medieval concept. Do not recommande for a quiet romantic dinner. The restaurant is a big medieval feast. The food from a bygone era. All kind of wild meat, missed the unicorn though ;)

Great atmosphere and service but the food wasn’t that great. This experience was enough because of the food. Happy although I experienced this middle age place with so nice details. 4/5 stars not for the food.

If you are more interested in a show pretending to show you the middle ages than good food, this is the place for you. They have costumes, flute music and everything is «old style». So far so good. But the food was far from extraordinary,...it was ordinary st the best. Anything good to say about the place? Yes. The have a very good honey flavoured dark ale, whitch is worth a visit alone. Take a few at the pub Danebrog in the same house, and you get an idea about the concept. And a few good beers. An extra plus was actually the the live middle age music. Very good musicians, the the sounded really well.More

We had a fantastic small lunch here. At first, we were a bit worried that this is just a gimmicky tourist trap, but the food was great, as was the decor and the service, and we enjoyed it very much. Prices are reasonable for a...restaurant in such a central location.More

Went with group. Reservation made ahead but as mentioned in many other reviews, reservation was Lost( seems common occurrence there) . Fortunately got in anyway. Disappointed that No Music on Mondays and server did not attempt any of “medieval patter” ( none! Not even bad...attempt) could have been at US chain Red Lobster or like. My meat platter was not bad although very salty and other raved about mushroom soup.More

This was the perfect spot for medieval dining. The menu was medieval in concept and the servers were attired appropriately for the period. They also did a magnificent job of keeping their language in the period in which it was conceived which added a great...deal of fun to our dining. They have both inside and outside seating. The service was super friendly, the food was yummy and the beers and ciders hit the spot. Good eats! Good fun!More

We had just arrived in Tallinn by ferry and wanted some lunch before we were able to check into our hotel. We walked into the old town and for one didn’t checkTA but used the old method of seeing which place was busy and having...a quick look at what people were eating. We wanted a light lunch like a salad and we could see they had them on the menu. We sat outside and ploughed our way through the lengthy menu written in ancient script and found 2 salads so ordered one of each. Tried to order a Diet Coke to go with them but they don’t serve soft drinks so had water. The salads were fine, enough to keep us going through the afternoon but were nothing special. Service was OK, servers spoke good English and food appeared promptlyMore

A few days in Tallinn and thought this might be a fun experience. It was. I loved my dark honey beer and my son said the steak was best he had tasted. The staff are very friendly and atmosphere great. I had a huge liquor...coffee at end of meal which was lovely. Quite pricey but unique.More

More of a novelty restaurant. Set up in olden times. Inside it is near darkness, only candles lit provide minimal brightness. Outside you can heave a sigh of relief. Wait staff in uniform , speaking the tone and language of earlier century era. Menu choices...can be intimidating, meat provide choices of a boar, lamb , duck , and a bear ? Anyway I had mine sirloin, my spouse got soup and my daughter had salmon. All were delicious although in small servings. They don’t serve sodas , so I had ginger beer in half liter servings. It’s not always you get the experience, but I suggest you try this one. By the way , our server lady is really cool . And the other at stall selling caramel nuts was lovely.More

First night in Tallinn, we went there for dinner. Had reserved ahead - but that meant nothing. They have no system of looking up reservations. Anyway, lots of space. We ordered the set menu which brought lots of unlimited food. The food was absolutely pedestrian....They claim authentic recipe from medieval times, it was not really. Sugar, saffron, Indian spices, poppadam galore. It’s a complete tourist trap. Never again.More
