Your next gourmet destination – Pärnu

Summer is a feeling, not a season. to experience this feeling, you just need to pack a medium-sized weekender and head to Pärnu for a couple of days (or even a whole week!) to enjoy the expansive food scene the summer capital of Estonia offers.

After just a 2.5-hour drive from Riga, you’ll be happy to find that in addition to Pärnu’s well-known hotels and spas, there are several highly rated restaurants that have been ranked among the best in Estonia. Top-class meals can be enjoyed both in fine-dining restaurants and cosy resort cafes, and good places to drop in for a bite can be found virtually throughout Pärnu county and along the Via Baltica.

In summer, Pärnu is full of cosy outdoor terraces and bustling restaurant-cafés. The most popular places are located in the old town area and on the promenade Supeluse tänav, which are both car-free during summer. Summer brings a lot of outdoor events and a lot of people to Pärnu – we suggest that after dinner you take a walk towards the beach to have a cocktail and partake in any outdoor happenings sure to be going on.

Enjoy excellent service, exciting menus, and special flavours in Pärnu’s top restaurants. Nordic and Scandinavian fine-dining experiences can be found in the restaurant Raimond（https://visitparnu.com/en/objekt/restaurant-raimond/） and in the historical Ammende Villa（https://visitparnu.com/en/objekt/restoran-mekk-villa-ammendes-2/）. This spring, Pärnu’s first chef ’s hall was opened in Villa Wesset（https://visitparnu.com/en/objekt/restaurant-villa-wesset/）, where an experiential dinner is prepared from pure fresh ingredients right in front of your eyes. There are two menus to choose from – Local Journey and Baltic Journey – which bring first-class flavours to visitors in surprising combinations. The menu at the Wesset’s chef ’s hall includes smoked eel, veal tongue cooked for 36 hours, deer tenderloin, chocolate-black garlic mousse, and many other exciting delicacies.

The area along the Pärnu River is developing rapidly, and several trendy eateries have established themselves here in recent years. It has quickly gained popularity among locals and visitors alike as the riverside offers a completely different atmosphere. For example, the urban cafe Kastrul（https://visitparnu.com/en/objekt/cafe-kastrul/） serves dishes influenced by Asian and Mediterranean cuisines, while right next door, the bakery Leivakas（https://visitparnu.com/en/objekt/bakery-cafe-leivakas/） offers freshly baked goods and stone oven pizza.

Nearby is Wunderbaar, perfect spots to spend summer evenings. Baarcelona, with its considerable Spanish influence on the menu, offers a good selection of sangria and tapas.
