🌿 BEHIND THE FLAVOURS OF SOO
Chapter III: Seasonality

At SOO, every dish begins with what grows close to us.

Throughout spring, summer and autumn, local produce forms the foundation of our menu. From there, Head Chef Oliver Saaremäel builds each dish—guided by the season, the ingredient and its natural character.

Right now, the courgette flower takes centre stage. ✨

What we believe in at SOO—and the values that guide us, from nature to every plate we serve. 💚

🌿 BEHIND THE FLAVOURS OF SOO
Chapter II: The Potato

What is one of Head Chef Oliver Saaremäel’s favourite vegetables—and an ingredient in SOO’s eight-course tasting journey? The potato.

It may sound simple, but at SOO, it is transformed into something truly exceptional. Slowly baked for hours in a salt-dough crust, it develops a soft, silky texture and is paired with lamb’s tongue and smoked beurre blanc.

The result is deeply comforting yet refined—a true reflection of Estonian flavours.

Made even more special by being prepared in our outdoor kitchen, together with our guests. ✨

After many evenings in candlelight, they asked (quite politely) for a moment in the sun — and who were we to say no? 😎

So here they are, our fine dining creations, enjoying their well-deserved spotlight… just try not to let them steal all the attention. ☀️

If you’d like to meet them in person (they behave slightly better at the table), we’ll be waiting for you at www.maidlaresort.com🖤
