UMA

UMA is a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant at Peetri 12 in the Noblessner district of Põhja-Tallinn, Tallinn, Estonia. It is described as 'Unorthodox Modern Asian' and shares the Peetri 12 building with Lore Bistroo, though it operates its own kitchen. Noblessner is a redeveloped former submarine-yard on the harbour north of the Old Town, now a dining and residential area, and UMA is one of its leading restaurants.

The cuisine is modern Asian with an unconventional approach. The listing names modern Asian small plates as the signature, which suggests a menu designed for sharing and for ordering several dishes rather than a single main. Specific dishes are not confirmed here and the menu may change with the season, so visitors should ask staff about current offerings. The Bib Gourmand recognition points to skilled cooking at a price below the city's top fine-dining level, although UMA still sits in the upper ($$$) price bracket.

The dining room combines an industrial building shell with a contemporary look. The mood is stylish and relaxed, with moderate to lively noise when full. There is no strict dress code, with smart-casual clothing typical. The shared-plate format suits groups of friends or couples who like to taste several dishes. The harbour location adds a pleasant walk before or after dinner, especially in summer.

Beverage details are not confirmed, but a restaurant of this style normally offers wine, cocktails and non-alcoholic pairings, so visitors can ask about the drinks list on arrival.

Opening days vary, so confirming before a visit is important. Reservations are strongly recommended, and booking ahead is advisable for weekends and the summer months. No verified website or phone is held, so reservations may need to be made through online listings. Lore Bistroo, in the same building, offers another Bib Gourmand option if UMA is full. Noblessner can be reached by taxi, tram or on foot along the waterfront from the Old Town.
