The story
Since opening in June 2019, Puri has become a destination for modern cuisine in Tallinn’s Kakumäe yacht harbour. The name, inspired by sails catching the wind, reflects the ambition to always be at the top and take guests on new culinary journeys. This approach earned the restaurant a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026 – a recognition that aligns with the care taken in every dish and detail.
The dining room is spacious and filled with natural light thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows that look directly onto the marina. On cooler evenings, a crackling fireplace adds warmth. The 80-seat layout includes a cosy bar with 20 seats, perfect for starting the evening with a sparkling aperitif or a creative cocktail – classic, modern, or alcohol-free.
Puri’s à la carte menu is built around sharing plates, starters, main courses, and desserts, with a separate children’s menu. Standout options range from hand-cut tartares – tuna with cucumber and chilli, scallop with white soy and kohlrabi, or beef with capers and gherkins – to a creamy Parmesan risotto that can be topped with oysters and beurre blanc. Main courses include pike-perch croquette with paprika sauce, halibut with browned butter and broccoli, and a 250 g swordfish steak in dashi broth. For meat lovers, there is a 250 g ribeye with herb butter and beef jus, or a 320 g lamb rump with rosemary and garlic sauce. Desserts such as lemon tiramisu, a dark chocolate mousse with raspberry and salted caramel, or a plum and almond "Catalana" cream finish the meal.
The atmosphere is deliberately welcoming. Puri’s interior – bright, spacious, with views of the sea and the comings and goings of boats – makes it suitable for both lunch and dinner. Guests arriving by boat can moor at the guest quay and step straight into the restaurant. The space also works well for larger gatherings and celebrations.
Puri’s modern cuisine, its setting in the working marina, and its Michelin recognition make it a memorable stop in Tallinn – whether you come by land or by sea.
