Next to Tapa station

This is not a fast food place

Tapa is known as an important railway junction, and of course it has a station. Right next to the station is us. It has always been that way: where there is a railway station, there is a tavern.

Roadside eateries often serve fast food to hungry travellers in a hurry. Vaksali Tavern, however, has been run by the chef from the well-known TV show “Köögikupja”, and a new menu was created for the show, so you can expect a serious taste experience.

For larger groups we bring the food to you

The tavern hall seats up to 35 guests. For a larger party we bring the food to a venue of your choice at the agreed time.
