Estonia Food and Drink
Estonian food can seem very fatty and starchy to some. There is a wide range of international dishes available, especially in larger towns.
Specialities
• Sült (jellied veal).
• Täidetud vasikarind (roast stuffed shoulder of veal).
• Rosolje (vinaigrette with herring and beets).
• Braised goose stuffed with apples and plums.
• Verivorst (blood sausage).
Tipping
10% is standard for restaurants in larger towns, although sometimes it will be added automatically, so check your receipt before adding anything extra. In rural areas tipping will not usually be expected.
Drinking age
18.
Regional drinks
Saku beer.
Eesti Kali (local form of kvas, a Slavic fermented drink made from bread)
Vana Tallinn (a local liqueur that's probably best left to the locals to sip).
