Restoration of Estonian Independence Dinner

Join the Estonian Melbourne Society as we celebrate the 35th Anniversary of the Restoration of Estonian Independence with an evening of great food and culture.

This year we're excited to celebrate at OTAKOI Ukrainian Restaurant, where Estonian and Ukrainian hospitality come together for a unique dining experience. Enjoy a specially curated menu featuring traditional flavours from both countries, followed by drinks upstairs at OHTAK Bar.
