Great restaurant to go to. Prices are maybe a bit higher but I think it is worth it too. If You`d like to have a steak then this is the place to go to. On the weekend dress up a bit go to the cocktail bar and enjoy tasty cocktails.

One of the biggest malls in Tartu. At the edge of the city. There is a free bus that goes in front of the Kaubamaja mall and drives right in front of it. The bus schedule should be near the waiting area. The bus is blue and has "Lõunakeskus" written all over it. There is also a small 4D cinema and a skating rink.

Awesome place. If I translate the name then it is "Gunpowder cellar". The name is derived from the restaurant's location: it is situated in an 18th-century gunpowder cellar constructed in 1768–1778 by order of Catherine II of Russia on the site of an earlier fort. They also offer food and on the weekends they may have ticket because band are playing there often. On Mondays` there is also a karaoke night. It is in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the highest pub ceiling in the world, at 11 metres (36 ft).
