The Chef

Chef Peeter Pihel has global experience from restaurants in Estonia, Sweden and France. Places such as Fäviken Magasinet in Jarpen, Sweden and Fulgurances in Paris, France. In 2017, Peeter was also a chef for the Estonian Presidency of the Council of the EU.

Sustainable Pleasure

Fotografiska uses the power of photography to unite, spread awareness and create a positive impact in society. This mindset is well-integrated into everything they do. By following their vision of inspiring a more conscious world, they aim to raise the level of awareness and question what we eat, drink and take for granted. And by doing so, nudging society towards more sustainable habits.

They follow the Fotografiska food and beverage philosophy of Sustainable Pleasure, founded on the concept of doing good for the world while creating food that tastes good.

From leaf to root, from nose to tail

The restaurant works with a zero-waste mindset to build an inspiring restaurant with a clear focus on extensive care for the environment. They use only fresh local produce and always to the maximum, whether it's when preparing a dish in the kitchen or mixing a cocktail behind the bar. The minimal food waste that still occurs is put in a composter, and the compost then develops within 24 hours. It is then given to farmers or restaurants in the area who, for example, grow their own herbs.

Sustainability practices are a red thread throughout the entire restaurant. They have flower boxes made out of an old church tower, used baking places have a new life as bread boxes, and empty wine bottles are used as vases. Fotografiska is not a fine-dining restaurant but rather a relaxed place to eat delicious and honest food.
