Restaurant review: MySushi Mere pst



I visited MySushi (Tallinn, Rotermanni, address: Mere pst. 4) already twice during this summer, so I will write about what I have tried in there. Link: http://mere.mysushi.ee/

The first time we visited it on the Tallinn Maritime festival, cause we wanted to try their`s dessert, which I already heard about on Facebook. Since I was with a baby stroller, we decided to sit on the terrace, the weather was also nice. At the entrance we were greeted by waitresses, we could choose a table by ourself. We took a table, waitress brought a menu, which is provided on the tablets with pictures and descriptions. In addition to dessert, I decided to try Caesar salad with king prawns.

I took a salted caramel latte as drink. Actually I do not drink coffee but I really wanted to try this latte. For dessert I took the Sous bois cake. My friend took panna-cotta and strawberry home-made lemonade (Strawberry Love).

We added our order to the basket on the tablet and handed it over to the waitress. Drinks arrived first and then salad. Salted caramel latte is unreal! This is now one of my favorite drinks (and one of the reasons why I came back here a second time), the taste was wonderful. My friend's lemonade was pretty sweet for me, mason jaris trendy.

Our desserts were brought together with the salad. Honestly, I did not like the salad at all. There was absolutely no flavor in it, a simple salad, a little shrimp, a Parmesan, a boring sauce. Absolutely nothing was memorable, so the second time I would not take this salad. And it looked completely different than in the picture on the menu (but actually everything was different from the pictures) :D

My dessert was delicious, the sweetness was diluted with a layer of jam, but the size of the cake was too big for me and I could not eat it all :) I did not try panna cotta but my friend liked it. The waitresses were polite and served us quickly. Some new clients sat at the next table and wanted to smoke but then they saw us with a stroller and moved to the back tables, very nice of them, thank you :)

The second time I got here without a child and with another friend, literally next day. And this time we came here for dessert (I really wanted that salted caramel latte and try other desserts from their menu) but since I almost did not eat in the previous restaurant we visited before MySushi, I decided to order sushi, they also had a 50% discount campaign for all sushi from the menu.

This time no one greeted us, although there were many waitresses. We chose the table, sat down, there was one tablet on the table, which someone was using before and, apparently, for some reason left, leaving the tablet on table. When finally the waitress came to our table, she was going to take our order from us, but we told her that we had not even been given a menu, this tablet lay on the table before we came here. She quickly brought us the second menu and we could check it. This time I took tempura sushi with shrimps, for dessert red velvet. My friend took a Kiev cake and a cocktail. Unfortunately, I was informed that the machine broke down, so neither latte nor cocoa is served today, so I took green tea.


We had to wait for our drinks this time but sushi, despite the fullness of the restaurant, came quickly. I'm not looking for real Japanese sushi in Estonia, because it's pointless (and my husband makes them for me anyway), so I'm trying out "non-standard" European versions. I liked sushi, crusty outside and cheesy inside. Good filling, the sushi does not fall apart. But the minus for me is the size of sushi, since it is impossible to put a whole piece in the mouth, it is necessary to bite off half first, which is unusual for me, since this is not a very good manner.

Immediately after the sushi waitress brought us desserts. I like red velvet and velvet in Mysushi I liked too, ate it all with pleasure. Since I adore the Kiev cake, I tried this dessert from a friend but, unfortunately, I did not like it at all, from Kiev cake there is only meringue, the taste is completely different ..
The waitress was polite, worked quickly.

Will I return here? Yes. I want to drink cup of caramel latte and try some more desserts, they look very appetizing :) And I also want to get here for lunch, I looked at the menu several times and it seemed very attractive, but I do not know when I'll get here at lunch time.
And one more bonus, which I did not know about, is free parking (1 hour). If we come to lunch, then will use take this opportunity :)

Restaurant review: PULL



We wanted to visit this restaurant from the spring and at the end of July we had an occasion: our wedding anniversary. Link: http://www.pull.ee/
I booked table in advance on the Internet, since we were with my husband and child, I mentioned that we would need a baby chair for feeding, they sent me an answer that they would take this moment into account.

My husband and I had a goal to try their Pull Grillfest dish, but it is made for 4 people, which is a lot for two of us, so I wrote to them with a question if they can make this dish for two and if so, it would be ready for our arrival, I was told the next day that it will be done for two and cooked for our arrival, very kindly :)

We arrived a little before the appointed time, we went in, after the entrance door there is a small staircase (it is necessary to take into account those who come with the stroller), the waiters welcome you at entrance. I said my name and we were offered two tables to choose, we took the table by the window. One waitress brought us a menu, asked what we wanted from drinks, then another waitress came up and offered us a baby chair (good and clean, by the way!).

All the waiters were polite and spoke Estonian and English. The waiters felt right when we wanted to make an order and immediately approached.

In addition we ordered vegetables for child (Auru-vege, asked without salt), carbonated water (Pull water, 1 € per 500 ml), beer, virgin Mojito (there is no in menu, they made it for me, Costs 8 €).

First they brought water, then bread with butter, then plates (by the way, they also did not forget for child) and after that our ordered dish arrived.


After 5 minutes they brought vegetables for the child, and then the drinks came. In the vegetable plate were: carrots, broccoli, asparagus. Vegetables had real taste, crunchy.


We got stomachs full with Grillfest, it is including different meat: duck, pork, beef, on the garnish three different salads, couscous and beans in a barbecue sauce. The meat was soft, juicy, tasty. Couscous is so tasty! Salads were fresh.

Since it was interesting to try desserts as well, we ordered them but we could not finish. We ordered Eton Mess and Chocolate-rosemary mousse, plus espresso.
Desserts also arrived quickly, then coffee arrived.
Desserts look interesting but not my favorite. Foam from the grenadine had too much flavor, it overshadowed everything else, vanilla ice cream was delicious, but for me too much vanilla. Well meringues are totally ok 😁 I tried the second dessert a bit, normal, but not in my taste :)

In general, we liked it. Would we return here? Yes. Especially I liked the opportunity to order Grillfest for two (the price is twice cheaper then) :)


Yours,

New bakery Kördiööbiku in Miiduranna Konsum



Good morning! Today I want to tell you a little about the new bakery, which is located in the same building as Miiduranna Konsum (address is Ranna tee 46a). Found this store just a couple of days ago and since it was already closed at that time, I came back yesterday to check out what is being sold in there and to take some photos to share with you :)
This building has been empty for a long time and a new bakery, where you can sit and drink coffee, is just a great idea (Pizza Grande is, unfortunately, closed). If there were no signs on the outside, I would hardly have noticed that now there is a small cafe-bakery. Since people may not notice it as much as I do, I'll tell you a little about the cafe and show what I bought in there :)
The cafe takes orders for cakes, pies and other baked stuff. Serves a nice woman, the cafe has 3 tables where you can sit, relax, have a snack. There are various salty patties (around 0.60 euros per piece), sweet buns, sweet and salty bar-cakes (about 3.90 euros), pies, cakes, sweet and salty biscuits.

I bought a zephyr cake, a tiramisu cake, a cinnamon roll and a meringue roll with a nutty taste. All is packed in boxes and buns are put separately in a cellophane bag.

Zephyr cake. Zephyr is thick, with a sour taste, which should be in zephyr. Not too sweet. The basket is too soft because of the jam in it, so it falls apart and is easier to eat with a spoon. Jam inside the basket is sour, so by the end everything becomes too sour, it is better to add banana instead of jam :) The zephyr itself is delicious.

A cinnamon bun. A bun with cinnamon as in the old days, for me the roll is a bit firm and dryish, I prefer the modern version, when cinnamon and sugar are mixed with butter. But this bun immediately inspired school memories :)

Roll-meringue with nutty taste. Raspberries add acidity, the roll itself is not very sweet, which is good for me. What I personally missed is juiciness, I prefer "wet" meringue rolls.

Tiramisu cake. I bought this cake for my husband, since I do not eat anything related to coffee, but I tried a piece for the sake of feedback. The taste is quite soft, for me just right. Inside the cake there is jam, this also has soft taste, could be a bit more sour. It looks simple and pretty :) The flower is made of sugar mass.

Now we need to try something salty, since our Violia, Pihlaka, Lavendel and Tampe have already been tried :)
