Chedi Restaurant
Dish-led excellence defines Chedi Restaurant, where the collaboration with Alan Yau has birthed a sophisticated Modern Asian lexicon in Tallinn. The signature crispy duck salad is a revelation of balance, featuring succulent, shredded meat tossed with the citrusy brightness of pomelo and the resinous crunch of pine nuts. Technique is showcased in the Jasmine tea-smoked pork ribs, which carry a delicate floral aroma and a lacquered, sticky exterior that gives way to tender, fall-off-the-bone meat. The dim sum program, particularly the baked venison puffs, demonstrates masterful pastry work with a buttery, laminated crust and a savory, gamey filling. Each plate is a study in contrast—sweet against sour, silken against crisp—executed with a precision that honors authentic flavors while embracing contemporary aesthetics. The dark, opulent interior is filled with the scent of Szechuan peppercorns.
