NOA Chef's Hall is the best restaurant in Estonia – Meet Chef Orm Oja

We are delighted to introduce Silver Saa Head Chef at Ore a top restaurant in the heart of Tallinn’s beautiful Old Town. Ore has been rated as one of Estonia’s best restaurants for several years in a row which is a testament to the chef’s mastery and consistency.

Chef's Pencil spoke with Silver Saa about his career in Estonian cuisine and his work at Ore.

I was a street performer and a part-time dishwasher in a pub. After high school I had to choose a career. I wanted to do graphic design but I missed the tests so my second option was to become a chef. I thought I could also design plates. A very childish approach but it worked for me. I couldn’t see myself sitting in an office all day.
