We arrived just in time for dinner, so in keeping with the whole middle ages theme we went to a place called "Ill Draakon". The service and menu is modeled on the alehouses of yore. Here is the counter where you order food:
They serve ale (well, obviously...), soup, pasty pies and ox ribs. Or should I say "ox rib" since one is plenty. It looked like something straight out of The Flintstones.
The food was excellent! Those enormous crocks that look like vases are our beer mugs. The only utensils available were sharp knives and skewers. Very medieval.
The whole town is just taking the theme and running with it. We came across this guy in the town square as well...

We didn't have much time for exploring today, but we did take a short walk to see the Toompea Hill area topped by the domes of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.
As it got dark, we walked back to the hotel. Tallinn is very pretty at night, too.
