A Menu for Everyone
Our menu is highly versatile – from beautifully presented appetizer platters to slow-cooked BBQ meats.
The grill is fired up for vegetables, fish, or meats tailored to your guests’ preferences.
Of course, we accommodate dietary restrictions, offering vegetarian, vegan, and allergen-aware options.
We create menus specifically to match your needs.
Example menus
We’ve added a few sample menus here to give you a taste of our kitchen’s style and flavours.
Ingredients & Sustainability
Great food starts with great ingredients.
We carefully select our meat, using only top-quality cuts – mainly from Argentina, Brazil, and New Zealand – ideal for grilling.
At the same time, we highly value local produce and use Estonian seasonal ingredients whenever possible.
Our menus are planned thoughtfully and sustainably, making the most of every ingredient to avoid waste.
This means you can trust that what reaches your table is always fresh, flavourful, and truly satisfying.
An Experience Your Guests Won’t Forget
Our biggest strength is live BBQ catering, where everything is prepared fresh, right in front of your guests.
At the grill, you’ll find Maiko Kivilo, Aparaat’s head chef and winner of the 2018 Grillfest.
Whether your event is on a winter evening or a summer morning – our grill is always ready.
