Why Visit 180° by Matthias Diether
Perched on the waterfront of Tallinn’s revitalized Noblessner submarine shipyard quarter, 180° by Matthias Diether offers an immaculate 180-degree panoramic vista across Tallinn Bay alongside some of Northern Europe’s most precise haute cuisine. As Estonia's first restaurant to achieve two Michelin stars, the dining experience is designed with theatrical choreography and supreme technical mastery.
Guests begin their evening in the plush cocktail lounge with an array of playful, high-concept snacks before transitioning to the curved dining room surrounding the gleaming open atelier kitchen. Chef Matthias Diether combines classic German culinary rigor with pristine Estonian terroir, wild forest botanicals, and cold-water pelagic seafood.
Culinary Style & Cooking Philosophy
The cuisine revolves around the harmony of contrasting textures and intense flavor extractions.
