Eateries in Estonia for gluten-free, lactose-free, or vegan dining

Special diet? No problem! You can still have a special night out at one of these restaurants.

Gone are the days when certain food intolerances or dietary preferences made it too difficult to eat out.

This article provides an overview of places that cater to gluten-intolerant and/or vegan diners, the latter of which also serve those with lactose or casein intolerance.

Note: If you have celiac disease, it is still worth asking the waiters to ensure cross-contamination has been avoided during food preparation. The Estonian Celiac Society website has more information.

Restaurants specializing in vegan cuisine

The options for vegans are getting wider, and there are more and more places where no animal or dairy products are used in the preparation of food. Such restaurants and cafes were long limited to Tallinn, but now they can be found in almost every corner of Estonia.

Many restaurants and cafes have at least one item for vegan diets, but here is a selection of restaurants and cafes with more options. There are even more listed at vegan.ee (in Estonian).
