Description: The translation of Mookkala is swordfish and the menu here includes not only that fish but many of its sea going compatriots.
The décor in the restaurants is lovely, blue walls, unusual but striking pictures, eclectic table settings, padded chairs and sofas. It creates a comfortable, interesting and relaxing atmosphere. Service too, is very good, friendly yet understated and happy to offer advice about the dishes on the menu.
As for the food well, it was excellent. There is a choice of hot and cold starters plus soup and salads encompassing such things as oysters, crab legs, salmon and lamprey. For a main course as well as the signature dish of swordfish you can sample pike-perch, eel, salmon and sardines. The dessert menu is small, however, you may find that after a fish feast - portions are generous - you may not have room for much else! There is also a good selection of wines, spirits beers and other drinks.
There are so many fine restaurants in Tallinn and Mookkala is up there with the best of them. Delicious food and at approximately 40.00 sterling for two courses each, one dessert, drinks and coffee not bad value either.
