Here are five tasty burgers in Tallinn. A selection of handmade gourmet burgers that are a bit more expensive as well as a fast-food and a vegan option for smaller budgets.
1. VLND Classic burger: The local legend (must try).
Price: 9€
Rating: 10/10
Location: Kopli 1, 10412 Tallinn
VLND’s impact has gone further than the burger itself. They have built a community of friends so it’s no wonder that their Balti Jaam location is constantly filled with people. Prepare to wait up to 30 minutes or visit them during the early opening hours.
Now to the burger itself. It’s fantastic taste comes from the quality ingredients that they use, the bread and meat and locally sourced from the best producers. The bread from Viljandi is a good old yeast bun made with only vegan ingredients. The meat is 100% beef seasoned only with salt and pepper. The fullness of the meat combined with the fresh buns makes for a perfect foundation of the burger.
Between the buns to give taste to the burger is rucola, pesto mayo, tomato, fresh red onions and cheese. The taste pallete is perfectly complimentary – the pesto mayo is the strongest in terms of taste followed by the rucola.
Its a burger that often people try to replicate at home but its almost an impossible task.

Nestled within the nostalgic ambiance of an old train, the dining experience at this charming restaurant was elevated to new heights with their signature Chick Norris Chicken Burger. Crafted with a crispy breaded chicken patty as its centerpiece, this burger was a testament to culinary excellence. The first bite into the tender chicken revealed a satisfying crunch, perfectly complemented by the creamy richness of melted cheddar cheese. But what truly stole the show was the harmonious medley of flavors brought together by the coleslaw, pickled cucumber, and ripe tomato, adding layers of freshness and tanginess that danced on the palate.

5. Hesburger – This is not gourmet, this is a honest burger. Nothing fancy about it. A fast food one.
Price: 4.30€
Rating: 7/10
Location: Hesburger has many restaurants across estonia, check their opening times and locations from their website: https://www.hesburger.ee/
Hesburger, a legend in the Estonian burger scene, continues to captivate diners with its iconic offering that strikes the perfect balance between affordability and flavor. The classic Hesburger, featuring two juicy beef patties nestled between soft buns along with a medley of Cheddar cheese, ketchup, onions, pickles, and crisp iceberg lettuce, is a testament to simplicity done right. What truly sets this burger apart, however, is the ingenious addition of Hesburger’s signature pepper and cucumber mayonnaise, which elevates the taste profile to new heights, leaving a lasting impression on the palate.
With its cult status, Hesburger remains a beloved choice for people seeking a satisfying meal at a reasonable price. Hesburger is not gourmet and can not be measured in the same standard as the other burgers but it makes up for it in its sauces. Whether you’re a long-time fan or a newcomer to the Hesburger experience, this fast-food place continues to deliver on its promise of deliciousness.
Honorable mention – Vegan burger from VegMachine: MOTHER TRUCKER BURGER
Price 6.50€
Rating: 7/10
Location: Kopli 1, 10149 Tallinn
The Mother Trucker Burger offers a delicious vegan twist on the classic burger. Packed with shredded sweet potato, parsley sauce, crispy onions, frill lettuce, and pickled cucumber, it’s a flavorful combination of sweet, tangy, and crunchy. This works well if you are looking for a tasty alternative to the meat options. My favourite ingredient is the sweet potato, which works surprisingly well inside a burger.
VLND on parim!
UULITS Pablo või Sibula moosiga on ka super!
Hesburger jätku pohmelli päevaks.
