A MICHELIN Guide Road Trip Around Estonia

"Lydia Grünmann Holm is the inspiration both for the Lydia hotel and the elegant Hõlm restaurant which sits within it – and the classically underpinned dishes are based on her 1925-1926 recipe collection. Dishes are confidently executed and attractively presented, and come with appealing flavour and texture contrasts. For the full experience, opt for the 5 course tasting menu." - Elizabeth Winter

"The restaurant is named ‘Hõlm’ and the hotel within which it sits, ‘Lydia’ – after Lydia Grünmann Hõlm, on whose recipes the dishes here are based. Full-length windows flood the elegant dining room with light and the attractively presented dishes exhibit appealing combinations of both texture and flavour." - Michelin Inspector

Estonia's Christmas Markets

"When it’s time to both warm up and fill up, head to nearby Hõlm for beautifully presented modern dishes with appealing flavour combinations, or stroll a little further on to Joyce, for creative dishes and tasty cocktails in a buzzy brasserie atmosphere." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team

We come to Tartu for a business trip and stay at Lydia hotel. Our guide recommends Hõlm for dinner. This is probably the best place for dinner in Tartu. Great decoration, spacious place. Staff is very attentive. Foods are made from fresh and high quality ingredients. Each plate is also beautifully garnished. They are very tasty. Only one minus is my steak (ask for medium) is a bit overcooked (get a medium-well)

The atmosphere was cozy and we had a wonderful meal here - the food is prepared with so much care and skill and as a result is delicious and original. Beautifully prepared and exquisitely presented. Taste was incredible and we wished the meal never ended! The drinks and the wine were also outstanding. We will definitely come back to enjoy it again.

We enjoyed a tasting menu paired with selected wines. The food was marvelous and plentiful, and the wines were expertly chosen to complement each dish beautifully. The service was very kind, professional, and timely. The atmosphere in the restaurant was elegant and classy, yet pleasantly relaxed. I can easily recommend Restaurant Hölm if you’re ever visiting Tartu.

Visited in Sep 2025 Holm is one of the 3 restaurants in Tartu which is recommended by the Michelin guide (as of Sep 2025). Therefore decided to have a dinner here during my trip to Tartu. The restaurant has 2 entrances - you can enter it from the hotel side as well as the park side. The menu of the restaurant comprises an a-la-carte menu and a tasting menu. I went with the tasting menu which comprises 5 courses (excl the petit fours). On top of that, there were additional courses like the amuse bouche, the bread course and a palate cleanser dish. Each individual course was quite nice with good quality cooking and solid ingredients/produce. The reason for giving a 4/5 and not a 5/5 is that the beef main course was a bit too salty for my liking. All in all, a good restaurant to visit if you’re in Tartu for a trip.

Inserted in the Michelin guide, this restaurant probably offers the best food in whole Estonia. A very creative combination of international and local flavors, presented as pieces of art, everything is fresh and high quality. The service is impeccable, friendly but not intrusive. The ambiance is stylish minimalist. Excellent price for quality. I strongly recommend.
