The most recognised restaurant guide in the world, the Michelin Guide, first arrived in Estonia in 2022. The second Michelin guide to Estonian restaurants was published in May 2023 and features 34 restaurants, 24 of which are in Tallinn.
The first restaurants awarded with Michelin stars in the Baltic States are Noa Chef’s Hall and Restaurant 180° by Matthias Diether, the latter of which received its second Michelin star in 2023. In addition, the Michelin Green Star guide specifically highlights restaurants committed to sustainable food preparation, and their Bib Gourmand award recognises restaurants that offer fantastic value for money. For the first time in Estonia, The Michelin Guide also presented the Michelin Young Chef Award to a young and talented chef.
Two restaurants in Tallinn are the first in the Baltic States to hold Michelin stars for a fantastic culinary experience and service.
