Tuul brings the unique flavors of Muhu to New York. For only four days, from April 4 to 7, the Tuul pop-up restaurant is open in the Estonian House. Tuul is a private summer restaurant operating in the village of Nautse on the island of Muhu. In good weather they serve meals in the Nautse-Mihkli courtyard but otherwise operate in the farm mansion. The restaurant is run by chef Ingrem Raidjõe, who also is the voice of the Saaremaa and Estonian seafood advertising campaign. Additionally he worked as a TV chef and published the cookbook "Meite maitsev Muhu!". Ingrem's cooking style is to prepare honest and genuinely delicious Estonian food from local island ingredients with a little world traveler's twist mixed in. In winter, Ingrem surfs the world's best waves and gathers inspiration for the new summer season. A couple of examples of Tuul's signature dishes are flash-salted fish, beetroot pie and buttermilk panna cotta. Prepare your taste buds!
