Lee: one of the oldest words in Estonian language describing the ancient Estonian communal fireplace around which life would vividly simmer and crackle; a place to prepare and share delicious meals together.

Today’s Lee is inspired by this same primeval joy for familial life, connecting around tables, sharing food and stories.

We have always been guided by our love of local produce, combined with international skill and playful curiosity. As we Estonians are ever evolving, our menu also changes accordingly, sourcing local whenever possible, but with inspiration and ingredients from abroad as well.

Our menu is characterized as ‘contemporary, seasonal, and local’.

Lee’s Kitchen is led by Canadian-born Japanese Chef Hiro Takeda, who wandered to Estonia from Europe’s culinary capital, Copenhagen. Hiro gently adds his heritage and international experience to our offerings.

Collaboration between the chef and the sommelier team is a stronghold of our restaurant- extensive wine list is ever-changing and our wine by the glass program supports the menu with matching wines.
