Forest Restaurant
Maitsemaa Forest Restaurant brings good food straight into nature
We prepare and serve multi-course dinners in places a regular restaurant cannot reach – in the forest, at the edge of a bog, at the end of a hiking trail, or at a location of your own choosing.
Good food cooked over the fire
The forest restaurant is a good fit for birthdays, company events, gatherings with friends, and other occasions where you want to combine good food with an easy time outdoors.
Our chefs cook on site, on the grill, in a wok, and over an open fire. We use as much Estonian and seasonal produce as possible and finish the dishes with herbs from our own herb garden.
What matters is that the food is fresh, well prepared, and genuinely good – without unnecessary complexity.
20 years of experience
We have 20 years of experience cooking and hosting dinners outdoors. Over that time we have organised dinners in many different places across Estonia, and we know how to bring together good food, reliable organisation, and the pleasure of being in nature.
You choose the group and the occasion. We take care of the rest.
Group size and transport
In Southern Estonia we cater for groups of 10 or more.
Elsewhere in Estonia the minimum is 15 people.
If the event takes place outside Southern Estonia, a transport fee of €150 is added to the price.
If you are not sure whether your chosen location is in Southern Estonia, or whether the transport fee applies, we can confirm this before you book.
