Humal Bistro is a diner in central Tartu inspired by French food culture. We encourage family members, friends, acquaintances, colleagues, and well-behaved pets to get together to enjoy good food, carefully matched drinks, jokes, and laughter. Bistro design and French food culture are the keywords that have inspired us when compiling the menu, and they are also the beliefs we follow every day in the kitchen, service, and atmosphere. Bistros are always cozy and welcoming, and we try to reflect the same on our food and drink menus. Simple foods inspired by French cuisine are transformed into high-quality, well-thought-out dishes. We also offer delicious vegetarian meals. All of this is supplemented by an ambitious cocktail menu, an impressive wine cabinet, and one of the city's best tap beer selections.
