The festival offers a wide selection of genuine Estonian food and produce straight from the producers.

Tasty Tartu culinary campaign

Tasty Tartu 2024 will take place on 1-29 February in restaurants in Tartu.

Tasty Tartu, which first took place in 2015, is a culinary campaign held dear by the residents of and visitors to the City of Tartu.

The month-long campaign enables people to enjoy three-course special menus in restaurants in Tartu to enjoy new culinary experiences at friendly prices. The master chefs working at restaurants partaking in the campaign do their very best to surprise residents of the city and visitors to the city with special appetising and savoury treats. Foods are prepared using local produce as much as possible.

All menus will be assessed by a jury, which will eventually pick the best entry of the year. Food lovers can also cast their judgement on the effort that restaurants make by selecting the visitors’ favourite.
