It's worth the trek out to the far side of Pirita to reach this top-notch waterside restaurant, which consistently backs up its elevated reputation. Housed in a stylish low-slung pavilion with superb views over Tallinn Bay to Old Town, it plays knowledgeably with Asian influences while keeping a focus on the best Estonian and European ingredients and techniques.
NOA's adjoining 'Chef's Hall' offers wonderful set dining for larger parties, Wednesday to Saturday evenings. If you have the time, cash and inclination, the €89 degustation menu is a perfect demonstration of how good Estonian food can be.
