Keep 3 things in mind when buying fish: ask where the fish comes from, prefer small fish species and go for local products!
Peeter Pihel has been shaped by his childhood on Saaremaa, an island of 30,000 people in Estonia. He considers it a privilege having been born and raised on an island, where the scarcity of resources and produce pushes you to be creative — an attitude that he brings into his work.
For a large part of his career, he led the kitchen of Pädaste Manor, which was named the best restaurant in Estonia for four consecutive years. After getting off to a good start at home, his road led him to Sweden, where he spent four years at Fäviken Magasinet — widely regarded as one of the best restaurants in Sweden. After years of working in different kitchens with different teams, he still finds great pleasure in it — it is a magical world, where surprises and discoveries never end.
He has now returned to Estonia where he has founded Fotografiska Tallinn, a restaurant with a sustainable philosophy.
