constant changes - Edit
There are constant changes in menu, in quality and in staff. You never know if the food is tasty today and quite often the staff couldn't answer you questions.

Beautiful cellar restaurant - Edit
Vegan Inspiratsioon is a beautiful cellar restaurant with nice selection of burgers, wraps and salads. The service was great, but unfortunately the food was lacking taste. It was good, but specially the pasta of the day was not that good. The rosemarine potatoes had most flavors and the burgers were pretty good as well.
Read moreThere is not too many vegan options in Tallinn, so this is really good add on the selection.
Pros: Atmosphere, Friendly staff, Good value
Cons: Food needs a bit more flavors

Wonderful - Edit
The Vegan Inspiratsioon is a lovely and cozy restaurant. The meal was great. Take the starter plate. You won't be disappointed. The lentil soup could be spicier, but it was great too. The staff was very friendly and we felt welcome.

Great vegan food in Old Town Tallinn. Pizza was delicious. I had a quinoa bowl with mixed vegetables. Dessert of Estonian cake and vegan ice cream was a great way to end the meal.

food good - Edit
The food was good at the little restaurant. It was easy to find and had a dorm room feel with posters, lights and quiet things on the walls.
Read moreThe bathroom was to be honest terrible. Not sure if it was a one time thing or not, but my husband almost left after using it instead of ordering food.
Food was good. Appetizers are small so keep that in mind. 'Snickers' milkshake tastes like a melted ice cream and banana... our mains were delicious.

Must eat ! - Edit
One of the best vegan restaurants I have been! The menu is really creative amd the dishes were simply amazing. The only bad thing is that the plates were so big that we did not have any room for deserts!

Inconsistent and mostly disappointing - Edit
It is really sad to go to Inspiratsioon every once in a while in the hopes of seeing improvement and being yet again disappointed.
Read moreInspiratsioon has a great location and nice atmosphere. But the same old problems remain:
Most items on the menu are not available (how about simplifying the menu and concentrating on quality over quantity?)
Their 'signature burger' featured stock-standard semi stale bread and store bought pre-sliced pickles. Made me think back with sadness on their burgers of 2-or-so years ago that were the best in town and wonder what other ingredients in my meal came straight from a can.
I hope the management of the cafe is going to get it together soon or hand over the reigns to someone more interested. As it is now Inspiratsioon is giving veganism a bad name with the price vs quality issues and the long list of "dishes we don't have today".
Just to be clear, this is my second time giving them a less than stellar review as things have not improved (I deleted the previous one from a year ago). If only they kept their bathroom tidy and presentable maybe the burger would have gone down better...
Pros: location, ambiance
Cons: a lot of dishes not available, poor quality vs price ratio, untidy bathroom

Tallin Treasure - Edit
I came to this restaurant last week on the recommendation of a friend and was not disappointed! The food is delicious and creative! The staff are friendly and the owner made me feel like I was at home! The atmosphere is good for groups, they have board games to keep you busy between your courses. I had the house burger which is one of the best I have had! Ten out of ten!

Nice place, although the toilet could be cleaner. Main dish was delicious, but soup tasted almost of nothing.

always a good meal - Edit
This is my favorite vegan place in Tallinn. Their selection of foods is versatile and changeable to make even more things suitable to your restrictions or flavour preferences. Me as a gluten free vegan, and my boyfriend as a nut allergic vegan could both have a feast, even with a personalised mezze platter for starters. Some typically Estonian foods and some novel dishes. Absolutely love the gram flour pizza!
Read morePros: many allergen free options, fair price, long opening hours
Cons: sometimes ran out of items on the menu

The best of three countries - Edit
I visited Inspiratsioon for my last dinner on my trip to Tallinn. We couldn’t have chosen a better place to end our trip on a big high.
Read moreThe menu boasted a variety of tempting options, but in the end I opted for the soba ramen. It was beautifully coconutty, and overall a scrumptious dish. The real highlight of the meal was the dessert, though. I’d never had kirju koer before, so I can’t compare Inspiratsioon’s version to anything else – but it was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had! Incredibly chocolatey, rich, and moreish, I’d travel back to Tallinn just to have it again.
The service was really friendly and we got our meals in no time. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere, and all the staff really seemed at home there.
I guess the biggest testament to Inspiratsioon’s success is that I was the only vegan in my group of friends, but everyone agreed that it was the best meal we’d had on our trip through Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. No.1 in three countries – not bad at all!
Pros: Kirju koer – a dessert like no other, Super friendly service, Varied menu

nice atmosphere, great desserts - Edit
We made a reservation for early evening but are a large late lunch so I was too full to fully appreciate our entries. Good presentation at least. The desserts were great though - had a cheesecake and what was described as a traditional Estonian cake, sort of a fudgy fruit cake or a dense brownie with cookie pieces, chocolate chips, and candied fruits inside.
Read moreAlso - it seems like it's somewhat important to make reservations when dining vegan in Tallinn, at least on weekends. We weren't able to get a table at all at the other vegan restaurant in the old town during our two night visit.

One of the best cakes - Edit
I had the best raw cake here. Tried couple of soups and one burger, they were also nice but I think they are good at desserts especially. Nice place to have a coffee break and staff is really really nice and friendly.

Nothing special! - Edit
The staff was good and the place was nice
Read moreBut the food was nothing special at all.
falafel tasted very boring and was saggy or smht.
and it was soy sauce on i think which is not bio (gmo contaminated soy)also the other soy products is not bio that they have here. Not even bio tea in this place which is a minimum normally when its health conscious people that eat.
[edit by staff, see tos]
Pros: staff ok and place ok
Cons: gmo soy, boring falafel

Perfect - Edit
It's very cute place with nice atmosphere. I tried "Patato salad" (in Russia it calls Olivie) and it was perfect, I was amazed the taste was like my mother did it. Also we tried very nice deserts and of course excellent craft stout! I recommend to visit this place even you are not a vegan!

Not impressed - Edit
I was excited to visit a 100% vegan cafe, but i was somewhat dissapointed. The idea is great, but the place seems kind of raw & unfinished. I don't think I would go there again.
Read moreI ordered a *special burger*, with a beet patty. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything near special, the filling was quite boring, lacked ''inspiration'' & it was overpriced. Chai tasted like warm milk & lacked spices. But the peanutbutter-apple cake was delicious!
Pros: Good location in the old town, Tasty cakes, Vide variety of options
Cons: Overpriced, Dish description is better than it is in real life
