JOYCE, Tartu, Estonia

We had lunch at this Michelin noted restaurant which is attached to a hotel. We ordered mostly sea food, as we are enjoying being in a small country with a lot of coastline, and we were not disappointed. Almost every place we ate the whole time we were in the Baltics there is a fish tartar or ceviche that is delicious and this was no exception.

The highlight for me was these small donuts that were stuffed with a lemony crab salad and topped with some roe. The abundance of fish eggs is another constant in this region, and quite an enjoyable one as well. I would definitely recommend this if in Tartu, but would not seek it out if far away. The food in the region was consistently good and no need to go out of your way to eat well.
