By following our vision of inspiring a more conscious world, we aim to nudge society towards more sustainable habits. Sustainability practices will run like a read thread throughout the restaurant; textiles of the aprons come from old tents, flower boxes are made out of an old church tower, used baking plates received a new life as bread boxes, and empty wine bottles are used as water carafes. Chef Peeter Pihel has a global experience from restaurants in Estonia, Sweden, and France. Such as Bloom in the Park in Malmö Sweden, Fäviken Magasinet in Jarpen Sweden, Fulgurances in Paris France. In 2017, Peeter was a chef for the Estonian Presidency of the Council of the EU. It is not a fine-dining restaurant, rather, it is a place focused on making delicious and honest food.
