Outdoor Cafés in Tallinn: Terraces, Courtyards and Seaside

A terrass (terrace) in Tallinn has a short, bright season. July is the warmest month at an average of 17.6 °C, against −3.6 °C in February, and around midsummer the sky stays light for more than 18 hours 40 minutes.¹ In summer, restaurants and cafés spill out onto terraces and the parks host open-air concerts.²

Local tip: Herne Kohvik's terrace faces the Kalevi club's sand courts, so a summer afternoon there comes with a tennis match.⁸

Where these cafés are: Old Town (8), Kalamaja & Telliskivi (7), City Center (6), Kadriorg & Pirita (4), Rotermann & the Port (3), Kristiine & Mustamäe (3).
