I loved everything about this place, the food, the service, the vibe. The pies are amazing, the coffee was the best I had in Estonia, and the owner? Hilarious, kind, and genuinely friendly. The whole atmosphere is super cozy, you might even end up chatting with strangers and making new friends! Highly recommend stopping by, it's the kind of spot that stays with you.

I love finding places like this. We kinda got lost and stumbled across this in an indoor market. The seafood soup was excellent, fresh ingredients, flavoursome and with a bit of a spicy kick to it. We also tried the field mushroom pie which the owner hand makes himself and it’s the best pie I’ve had in ages in any country. Chef/owner was extremely friendly and great to talk to.

Paul offers a piece of South African hospitality in the heart of Tallinn. With various tasty gourmet pies and a warm atmosphere that makes everyone feel welcome, I highly recommend Cafe Cape Town for a filling lunch, or delicious takeaway dinner. With a few South African wines and other foods, it's lovely to have a bit of home ????????

The owner is so friendly with interesting story and the pie was so good, full of salmon filling with only 7 euros. Dont miss this hidden gem in Estonia.

Paul Seniosi's Bobotie (filled South African) pies are well- known, and so I had to come by eventually. I had a pie with beef cooked in red wine. The place is small with tasteful design, pie was tasty. Next time I will go for the vegetarian choice and try the one with feta. They also have oysters and champagne, for those who drink alcohol and like seafood. :)
