Estonia's First Two Michelin Star Restaurant

"Set on the harbourside in Port Noblessner, this sleek, modern restaurant marries warehouse-style architecture with a chic, futuristic lounge-bar and a stunning dining room with an open kitchen, where counter seats immerse you in the action and well-spaced tables offer sea views. Chef-Owner Matthias Diether mentors his team while sourcing top‑tier ingredients from Estonia and beyond, shaping them with innovative technique and classical French roots into intricately composed dishes whose elements sing in harmony—sublime sauces and a knack for elevating the ordinary to the extraordinary included. The tasting format runs to 4 or 6 courses plus snacks, with an optional Bernard Antony cheese course and a vegetarian menu available with 24 hours’ notice; recent inspector favorites ranged from Atlantic mackerel with nettles and quince, Mont d’Or with potato and marinated Ibérico pork belly, and ikejime hamachi with yuzu and N25 caviar to Atlantic sea bass with beans and chorizo, and burnt banana with miso and tarragon. Service runs like clockwork: the bright, welcoming team sets the tone with an explanation of how the evening unfolds, aperitif and canapés, then delivers clear, detailed descriptions of each plate as the kitchen’s buzz energizes the room. Drinks pairings are thoughtfully flexible—mocktail, wine, or premium wine—guided by a genuinely warm sommelier; little wonder this trailblazer now holds Two Michelin Stars, making history as the first in both Estonia and the Baltic region." - Elizabeth Winter
