Flavours of May in Muhu
As spring breathes new life into the island of Muhu, Pädaste Manor awakens from its winter slumber — a true paradise for those who seek culinary experiences where tradition meets innovation. Amidst blooming gardens and serene coastal views, Restaurant Alexander offers flavours that reflect the essence of Nordic island cuisine.
Under the guidance of Chef Achim Braitsch, Restaurant Alexander has earned widespread international acclaim, being named among La Liste’s 1000 best restaurants in the world and recognized by the Michelin Guide. Chef Achim is known for his dedication to local produce and seasonal flavours, crafting culinary masterpieces that honour Muhu’s rich food heritage while adding a contemporary twist.
May brings a feast of delicious events to Pädaste Manor, celebrating both gastronomy and the island’s natural abundance. On May 11, enjoy a special Mother’s Day Lunch — a festive three-course menu created by Chef Achim. The warm atmosphere will be made unforgettable with heartfelt piano music by composer Imre Sooäär, joined by a surprise guest soloist.
From May 12 to 18, we celebrate the White Asparagus Week, where the first tender spears of spring take the spotlight. A specially curated menu highlights the delicate taste of asparagus and the chef’s mastery in elevating it to something truly remarkable.
✨ The true highlight arrives on May 31, when Restaurant Alexander invites you to experience the Braitsch & Pihel Dinner — an exclusive 5-course tasting menu, specially created for this evening by Pädaste’s former longtime head chef Peeter Pihel together with Achim Braitsch. It’s a culinary journey through springtime Muhu, where two stars of Estonia’s gastronomic sky unite on one menu. Carefully selected wine pairings are available to complement each course. This dinner is perfect for those looking for something rare and unforgettable.
Dining at Alexander is more than just eating — it’s a sensory journey through the landscapes and traditions of Muhu. The restaurant’s commitment to local farmers and its own gardens ensures that every dish tells a story unique to the island. Elegant interiors, live music, and views of ancient trees and the manor park set the mood for a truly memorable culinary experience.
For those in search of harmony between nature, culture, and flavour, Alexander offers a May experience that delights every sense. A visit here leaves a memory that lingers long after spring has faded.
