Taverns have been in Estonia for centuries. The earliest chronicles about the town taverns date back to 1280, and the village taverns to the 15th century. Traditionally, the tavern was a place where alcoholic beverages were served, but for peasants, a tavern was a few places where they gathered in order to eat, drink and discuss topical issues. Taverns were often built at a crossroads to offer lodging to travellers. There are a number of genuine taverns with tasty farm food around Võsu. When you go to the old tavern, don't forget to taste mead!
