Vihula Manor Restaurant

Lahemaa National Park


You can dine in the garden or on a balcony, but you’d be missing out on the grand ambience of Vihula Manor’s ballroom, with its original parquet floors and art-strewn walls. The food is European-inflected Estonian, including pikeperch with burnt cauliflower and cauliflower cream, elk fillet with celery, garlic and berries, and even sous vide bear with mushrooms.
