🍂 BEHIND THE FLAVOURS OF SOO
Chapter IV: The Jerusalem Artichoke
Some flavours feel like autumn before you even take a bite.
Jerusalem artichoke brings its earthy sweetness to the plate, joined by goat cheese, the depth of stout, a bright touch of apple and fragrant tarragon. Rich, warming and quietly unexpected.
That same feeling runs through our autumn ten-course tasting journey — comforting flavours, thoughtful combinations and local ingredients from fields, gardens and forests.
🍂 October reservations are now open, and many evenings are already filling up. Come while the manor park is dressed in gold, settle in and let us take care of your evening — one course at a time.
🤎 Tasting journeys take place every Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7 PM. Advance reservations are required.

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. ✨

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. ✨

The Yellow House — once the manor’s servants’ quarters and later a home for the older children of Maidla Orphanage — is now home to Restaurant SOO.
🌿 Hidden in the wild beauty of Maidla Manor Park, it is a place filled with history, character, pure seasonal flavours and heartfelt hospitality.
Just a 45-minute drive from Tallinn, yet a world away from the everyday.

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🖤
