Kubija Hotel-Nature Spa Restaurant

Love goes through the stomach! Kubija Hotel-Nature Spa's 150-seat national-style restaurant offers, in addition to regular restaurant dishes, dishes made from local products in accordance with the food traditions of South Estonia. For us, it is important that the raw materials come primarily from local producers operating within a 50-kilometer radius. On warm summer evenings, it's nice to dine on the restaurant's outdoor terrace and simply enjoy the pleasant atmosphere. On weekdays, we offer guests a lunch buffet (main course, cake, flavored water, bread, rolls, and flavored butter), and a cup of coffee or tea is free with the daily special. For groups, we offer various group menu options, and for seminars and meetings, coffee/tea breaks. The restaurant has high chairs and a children's menu for kids.

Fatbike tours in Taevaskoda

We organize fatbike hikes in Taevaskoda year-round. From spring to autumn, we ride along forest trails on the banks of the ancient valley of the Ahja River. In winter, we also stop by the ice of Lake Taevaskoda. The most famous places on the route are Suur- and Väike Taevaskoda, Neitsikoobas Cave, and the Kiidjärve water mill and manor park. The tour runs most of the time along beautiful forest trails in the varied landscape of South Estonia. The tour is suitable for anyone who is at least 150 cm tall. The pace is calm, and we take breaks to catch our breath and chat every 15-20 minutes. We talk about nature and local attractions. Taevaskoda has a rich history and cultural heritage; it contains sacred places and springs important to ancient Estonians. This area is known for its sandstone outcrops and magical forest trails. We use regular fatbikes and electric fatbikes (e-fatbikes) for riding. You can find clothing recommendations and information about the equipment you need for the tour on our website. If you wish, you can also order meals.

Cruffin at Aparaaditehas

Cruffin at Aparaaditehas is the place where it all began. It was our first bakery and remains the heart of the entire enterprise. Hidden in the creative quarter of Tartu's Aparaaditehas, Cruffin is a warm, bread-scented place where mornings start early, croissants rise slowly, and time passes at a slightly different speed. The counter always offers carefully prepared pastries: both classic buttery croissants and playful surprises, such as our famous cheesecake croissant. If you come at the right time, you might also grab warm sourdough bread straight from the oven. But Cruffin at Aparaaditehas is not only a favorite spot for bread fans. On weekends, a delicious brunch menu awaits, perfect for slow mornings with family or friends. Delightfully silky scrambled eggs, fluffy pancakes... and of course, at the heart of every dish is our homemade bread. Compared to our smaller location, Cruffin at Tartu's Town Hall Square, there is more space here, a calmer atmosphere, and the opportunity to truly relax. It's like a home café that keeps drawing people back.
