The restaurant Joyce treats its guests to the best taste selection in Tartu.
JOYCE – Joy of flavours!
Joyce is one of the most creative restaurants in Estonia.
There is no doubt about it. It combines the two essential components in the world of enjoyment. First of these is choice. Choice between good and better. Choice between exquisite and exceptional. Choice between two unforgettable things. Due to namely the choices that Joyce offers in their menu, the word ‘choice’ forms part of the restaurant’s name. But choices alone will not do. We also need the skill to feel joy about the choices we have made. To experience and enjoy. To try and discover. Joy from masterful taste sensations is the second definite value of restaurant Joyce. Therefore, ‘joy’ is another part of the restaurant’s name. These are the two components that inspired the restaurant called Joyce.
Our mission is to ensure that nothing goes to waste. We use only high-quality ingredients, prioritizing local producers. With a zero-waste mindset, we show respect for both the environment and culinary culture. That’s why our restaurant proudly holds the
Green Key eco-label.

Menu
Yes, it was the year 2016 when Restaurant Joyce was born. From the very first day, surprising our guests with unique flavor combinations became our signature of quality. To this day, we take pride in everything we serve from our kitchen.
In 2025, we introduced a new menu selection called “Simple Joyce” alongside our main menu. This features delicious world-renowned masterpieces, prepared in our unique way. We offer them at friendly prices while adhering to zero-waste sustainability principles - honoring both our guests' and our planet’s resources.
Children's Restaurant Experience
At Joyce, there is a bold and private children’s corner with lovely toys, books, and cartoons – so both bigger and smaller kids will find activities! While Junior Joyce’s children’s menu is being prepared, the little one can spend time pleasantly in the children’s play area until the food is ready.
The restaurant is designed to accommodate both families and those without children, with seating areas that allow for some distance from the play area, ensuring a comfortable dining experience for everyone.

Romantic anniversary dinner I picked this restaurant as it was #1 at the top of the list of best restaurants in Tartu and I don't regret my choice, our evening was perfect. We chose the chefs recommendation of 3 courses and a dessert from the menu together with selected wines that compliment the foods. This cost 102€ (62+40) per person and was worth it every cent. The food was amazing and this way we could try different foods and also different wines. The place was full of people, the atmosphere was cosy, we spent around 2:30 h there. Make a reservation beforehand!
