BREAD IS THE SOUL OF ANY MEAL
Hand-made bread, coupled with foods made from natural, local ingredients is a gastronomic delight. Add the city’s most stunning terrace and it’s soulful.
Leib. Soulful, casual dining.
RAISON D'ÊTRE
We love simple, soulful food made from the finest, freshest ingredients. We don’t like pretentious food, stuffy service, or overpriced menus. Sometimes you just want a good meal. That’s why we created Leib: a restaurant where two guys crazy for food would want to eat themselves.
We’ve both worked years in the restaurant business, and we felt the time was right to open our own place. (It helped our decision that we were offered the city’s best terrace.) We are true “food guys,” and one of us is always in the restaurant.
Please give Leib a try. And let us know personally what you think.

OLD TOWN’S PEACEFUL HUB
Rediscover the charm of Old Town in a private, green courtyard off Uus tänav.
•The garden grill. Weather permitting, there’s always something cooking on the garden grill.
•Picnics in a courtyard both green and private. Call ahead for a picnic on our lawn. We’ll have your picnic basket ready and a blanket laid out on a quiet place on the grass in our garden.
•Live music. Live music is a regular feature and at a volume you can still hear and be heard, as well as one which keeps even our grumpiest neighbors happy.
•Parking right next door. It’s not free, but you can’t have everything.
