Joyce, Tartu
Creative cuisine (l, d; €€€)
Serving up gourmet cuisine in plush-but-contemporary surroundings, Joyce draws its inspiration from traditional Nordic cooking and broader trends in modern European cuisine, with the emphasis on seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients. Mains revolve around lamb, beef, pork, and at least one vegetarian choice, all exquisitely prepared.
The delectable starters and creatively fashioned desserts ensure that this is the kind of restaurant where you stay for more than just one course. Indeed you should consider the four-course tasting menu if you want the full Joyce experience.
