Estonia\u2019s famous Sibulatee<\/i>, or Onion Route, invites anyone who loves onions, fish, and home-cooked meals and pastries to visit the area. Saturday, 13 September, is essentially a \u201chome caf\u00e9\u201d day throughout the entire region in Central-Eastern Estonia. This part of the country is known for growing onions, and creating all sorts of exotic dishes based on onions.<\/p>\n
These pop-up caf\u00e9s will mostly be in people\u2019s yards, gardens, and courtyards. Restaurants will of course also be open throughout the area. What\u2019s on the menu? Not just all things onion, and fish, but also venison recipes, vegetables, mushrooms\u2014especially chanterelles\u2014and naturally, onion pies.<\/p>\n
The Onion Route area is a unique cultural blend of Estonians and Russian Old-Believers living side by side. Specifically the charming villages of Varnja, Kasep\u00e4\u00e4, and Kolkja along the shores of Lake Peipus should be your main destinations, but the Onion Route Buffet Day is located in several other equally beautiful sites as well.<\/p>\n
While you\u2019re in the area, you should also take advantage of the excellent opportunity to visit Alatskivi Manor. This grand example of Baltic-German heritage serves as a museum. The Eduard Tubin Museum is also in the area, as well as the Juhan Liiv Museum, and both are very much worth visiting.<\/p>\n
