Beef Tartare – A Classic with Baltic Flavors

Beef tartare – that iconic dish where raw beef truly shines – has taken on countless forms around the world. At Caspian, we honor the rich history of this classic and bring influences from Estonia and Lithuania to the plate, where tartare is an essential part of the culinary tradition.

In Estonia, tartare is often enjoyed as a simple dish made from high-quality meat, served alongside rye bread, pickled vegetables, and mustard sauce. In Lithuania, tartare is paired with bold flavors such as marinated mushrooms, cranberries, or even smoked pickle slices – hearty and down to earth.

At Caspian, we have drawn inspiration from both countries. We prepare our beef tartare from hand-cut, premium beef and serve it with accompaniments that honor both Estonian clarity and Lithuanian richness. The result is a fresh, elegant, yet full-bodied flavor experience – the perfect start to a fine dinner.

Welcome to taste Caspian's beef tartare – a plateful of history, craftsmanship, and the rich flavors of the Baltics.
