Restaurant in Tallinn, Estonia
Michelin-recognised, easy to book, fair price.
Mon Repos holds a Michelin Plate for 2024 and 2025, delivers Modern Cuisine at a €€ price point, and is easy to book — an uncommon combination in Tallinn's Michelin-recognised dining tier. With a 4.6 Google score across 947 reviews, it is one of the more dependable options for quality cooking in the city without the price commitment of the €€€€ crowd.
Getting a table at Mon Repos is easy — which, for a two-time Michelin Plate recipient on Narva mnt in Tallinn, is a genuine advantage over most of its Michelin-recognised peers. Booking difficulty is low, and that accessibility makes it one of the more practical entry points into Tallinn's modern cuisine scene at a mid-range price point (€€). If you have been once and enjoyed it, there is no reason to wait for a special occasion to return. The question worth asking before you go back is whether the service style justifies the return trip as confidently as the kitchen does.
Mon Repos has now held a Michelin Plate for two consecutive years (2024 and 2025), which in the Michelin framework signals consistent quality without yet crossing into star territory. For the Tallinn dining scene, that credential places it clearly above casual modern dining and in the same conversation as Fotografiska and similar mid-to-upper tier addresses, while sitting a price bracket below the city's €€€€ destinations like NOA Chef's Hall and 180° by Matthias Diether. A Google rating of 4.6 across 947 reviews is a strong signal that the experience is reliably well-executed rather than occasionally brilliant — the kind of consistency that makes repeat visits lower-risk.
The address on Narva mnt places Mon Repos outside the immediate Old Town cluster, which is worth noting for anyone combining dinner with an evening in the historic centre. It sits in a part of Tallinn with a more residential and local feel than the tourist-facing restaurants closer to Toompea. That slight remove from the Old Town circuit also means the atmosphere skews toward a local and returning-guest crowd rather than one-time visitors , context that matters when you are thinking about the room you are walking into.
At the €€ price tier with Michelin Plate recognition, Mon Repos is positioned where service becomes a deciding factor. At this level in Tallinn, you are not paying for the elaboration of a €€€€ tasting menu operation, but you are paying above casual-restaurant rates, so the service standard needs to bridge that gap without pretension. The 4.6 Google score across nearly a thousand reviews suggests most guests feel the exchange is fair. That is a meaningful data point: it is not a venue propped up by a small, vocal fanbase, but one with broad, sustained approval.
For a returning guest, the practical question is whether the service style at Mon Repos has the kind of attentiveness that makes a second visit feel genuinely looked-after rather than routine. Michelin Plate status tells you the inspectors found the cooking worth noting; it does not certify the front-of-house. The honest read here is that the consistent rating volume suggests a kitchen and service team that perform reliably together, which is more useful to know than any single glowing review.
If your priority is a more theatrical service experience, NOA Chef's Hall at €€€€ offers that, but at a significantly higher price. Mon Repos at €€ is the better choice if you want Michelin-level kitchen quality with a more grounded, accessible service register. For Tallinn, that is a reasonable trade.
Tallinn's modern cuisine offering has expanded considerably, and a Michelin Plate at €€ is not the only option in the city. Among Tallinn restaurants at a comparable or adjacent level, Fotografiska operates at €€€ with a strong visual and experiential identity, while Barbarea, Horisont, and HOOV each bring distinct approaches to modern Estonian cooking. Art Priori is worth considering if you want a more experimental direction. Mon Repos is not the only address at this level, but the combination of Michelin recognition, accessible pricing, and a high-volume Google score makes it one of the more dependable choices on the current Tallinn list.
If you are building a longer trip through Estonia rather than staying in Tallinn, the country's modern cuisine scene extends well beyond the capital. Alexander in Pädaste, Hõlm in Tartu, Fellin in Viljandi, Hiis in Manniva, Kolm Sõsarat in Lüllemäe, and Lahepere Villa in Kloogaranna all represent the depth of Estonian cooking beyond Tallinn city limits. For international context, modern cuisine at the tighter Nordic-European register that Estonian kitchens often reference is well represented by Frantzén in Stockholm, though that is a €€€€+ benchmark rather than a direct comparison.

Without confirmed menu details in current data, we cannot verify whether Mon Repos operates a tasting menu format or what it costs. What the Michelin Plate and 4.6 Google score across 947 reviews do confirm is that the kitchen delivers consistent quality at the €€ price tier. If a tasting menu is available, the price bracket makes it one of the more accessible ways into Michelin-recognised cooking in Tallinn. Check directly with the venue for current menu formats before booking.
Specific dishes are not confirmed in current data, so we cannot point to a signature order. The cuisine type is Modern Cuisine, which in the Estonian context typically draws on seasonal and local produce. For a returning guest, the practical move is to ask the front-of-house what is performing leading on the current menu , at this service level and price point, that kind of guidance should be offered readily. If it is not, that tells you something useful about the service standard.
Seat count is not published, so we cannot confirm maximum group capacity. At a €€ modern cuisine restaurant with Michelin recognition, private dining or large-group bookings are not always offered as standard. Contact the venue directly before planning a group visit of six or more. For groups that want a confirmed private room setup in Tallinn, NOA Chef's Hall at €€€€ is a more structured option.
Yes, and the easy booking makes it low-friction to plan. At €€ with a consistent 4.6 Google rating from nearly a thousand reviews, Mon Repos is a sensible choice for a solo dinner in Tallinn without the formality or price commitment of a €€€€ venue. Counter or bar seating availability is not confirmed, but the accessible price tier and modern cuisine format make it a reasonable solo pick regardless of seating format.
At €€ with two consecutive Michelin Plates and a 4.6 Google score across 947 reviews, yes. This is one of the better value-to-quality ratios in Tallinn's Michelin-recognised dining tier. The comparison to make is with Fotografiska at €€€: Mon Repos gives you Michelin Plate cooking at a lower price point, though without Fotografiska's visual identity and location. If price efficiency matters, Mon Repos wins.
The venue is on Narva mnt, outside the Old Town, so factor that into your evening plans , it is not a quick detour from the main tourist circuit. Booking is easy, which removes the usual anxiety around planning ahead. The Michelin Plate status (2024 and 2025) tells you the cooking is inspector-approved at a €€ price point, which is the relevant benchmark for first-time expectations. Arrive without the assumption that it will operate like a €€€€ tasting menu experience , the register is more relaxed, and that is the right call at this price tier.
No dietary policy is confirmed in current data. Phone number and website are not published in our records. The safest approach is to contact the venue directly before booking , this applies to any allergy or specific dietary requirement, not just preference. Modern Cuisine restaurants at Michelin Plate level generally accommodate common restrictions with notice, but confirm rather than assume.

A quick look at how Mon Repos measures up.
Without confirmed menu details in our records, we can't verify the exact format, but a two-time Michelin Plate recipient at the €€ price tier in Tallinn represents strong value if tasting formats are offered. If you're comparing spend, NOA and NOA Chef's Hall operate at higher price points for a similar Michelin-recognition tier. Mon Repos is the lower-cost entry point in that bracket.
Specific dishes aren't documented in our records, so we can't point to a signature. As a Michelin Plate holder under Modern Cuisine, the kitchen has demonstrated consistent quality across two guide cycles. Ask the front-of-house what's seasonal on arrival — that's the most reliable steer when a menu isn't public.
No group booking policy is confirmed in our records. At €€ and a Narva mnt address, this reads as a mid-sized neighbourhood restaurant rather than a large-format venue. For groups of six or more, call ahead — and if a private room matters, NOA Chef's Hall is the more structured option in Tallinn for that format.
At €€ with no documented counter or bar-seat policy, solo dining is financially low-risk here. The Michelin Plate recognition means the kitchen takes the food seriously, which matters more for solo visits where the meal is the whole point. Fotografiska is the stronger solo option if you want a built-in cultural context alongside the food.
Yes. A Michelin Plate for two consecutive years at the €€ price tier is the clearest value signal available in Tallinn's modern cuisine category. You're getting guide-recognised cooking without the price jump that NOA or 180° by Matthias Diether require. For the spend, the risk is low.
Mon Repos is at Narva mnt 92, east of Tallinn's Old Town, so factor in the location if you're staying centrally. It holds a Michelin Plate for both 2024 and 2025 under Modern Cuisine at €€, which sets realistic expectations: this is a quality neighbourhood restaurant, not a special-occasion destination in the same bracket as 180° by Matthias Diether. Booking is not difficult, which is a practical advantage.
No dietary policy is documented in our records. As with any Michelin Plate restaurant, it's reasonable to expect a professional kitchen response to common restrictions, but confirm directly before booking. No phone or website is listed in our records, so approach via reservation platform or in person.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
