A popular pit stop for families travelling between Tallinn and Narva, this reconstruction of a fire-damaged tavern from the early 19th century serves traditional offerings such as honey-roasted pork and herring with potato porridge and cottage cheese. There's also a basic cafe, serving from 7am to 9pm in summer, an outdoor kebab counter, and Estonian handicrafts on sale.
