Had a great evening with Evita, and unlike a food tour, where you go to the same spots, here we tried different dishes at home, had a fantastic conversation and 3hrs passed very quickly. We loved the variety of food, and also agreed to join other guests (as a private experience was not available on the dates, she doesn't host more than 4-5 people) so it was like meeting new travelers and really getting to know the culture, food and life there. We even got recommendations on where to go and what to do for the rest of our time in Tallinn. Sure you can go to a restaurant, but you won't get the true vibe I think. Must do! A memorable evening, unique, Must do

My friend and I had a lovely dinner with Evita. What a great way to learn about local food and meet new people! It was such a fun, wide variety of food that made it easy to sample a little of everything! We appreciated being contacted ahead of time for our likes/dislikes. Lots of opportunity for conversation in a laid back setting. We felt so comfortable. It really did feel like sharing a meal with friends. 100% recommended.Lovely home cooked dinner!

I booked this experience for my group of 6 travellers and we all agreed that this was the highlight of our trip to the Baltics! Evita treated us to an absolutely delicious exploration of traditional Baltic food and drink. The dining experience was cozy and inviting and we enjoyed good conversation and making new friends. I highly recommend this as an addition to your visit to Tallinn! We also found that her experience has 70+ 5 star reviews on another experience site. She deserved every one of them. Do note, this is a home dinner where you get to not only taste and eat local food, but we used it as a way to understand local life and ask questions about the region too. Excellent evening! Highly recommended

Fantastic time, can't recommend highly enough. Evita was a wonderful cook and a most gracious host, her partner Farid kept the conversation going (as the rest of us were all strangers at the table, just getting to know each other), and what unfolded was just a really great evening full of amazing (local, authentic) food, drinks, and some newfound friends. If you find yourself in Tallinn and looking for a quality din with great people, this one's a must. 5 stars. Must do in Tallinn

The dinner at Evita’s was a nice welcome to Tallinn. The highlights included: - comfortable home - great food (and LOTS!) - great intro to the Estonian way of living This is a fantastic way to start your trip in Tallinn. It gives you the opportunity to try different foods while she tells you about the city, where to go, what to do, etc. It was a lovely evening and a must do!LOTS of food and stories

The food was wonderful and personalized! Evita was an amazing host and cook. There was so much food! You will not go hungry. I loved trying and hearing about the different foods of the region. I would book this again with no hesitation. Completely safe and welcoming environment. If you’re a solo traveler and don’t see someone else booked for a date, message Evita because she might have other solo travelers interested in the same dates and she can have you book for the same date. I love food and always want to share meals with real people in different countries and learn about the way of life in an area. Thank you so much Evita! You’re a marvelous person and cook! Book this tour! Thank you Evita

More about me

I was born in Riga (Latvia) but I love travelling so much that today I spend my time between Riga and Tallinn. Travelling is like breathing for me. When coming home, always planning the next trip! When not travelling, keen to meet people from other countries which makes me feel like travelling.

I love to meet travelers and cooking. I am passionate to make discover my culture and region through gastronomy.

Instead of going to a restaurant, enjoy a delicious home-made meal at my place! Be prepared - there will be a lot of food!

I try to be environmentally friendly, consume locally. Appreciate quality not quantity in all senses. Curious about unknown and open to learn about different. Learning to introduce minimalism approach at home.
