A holiday in Milan can be easily be turned into one of the most
extravagant and lush of your life. It is one of the most fashionable
cities in the world, full of high-end luxury and world-renowned dining
experiences; and it is all at your fingertips from the comfort of your
opulent Milan centre hotel. One of the most important and indulgent
aspects of Milan is exemplified in the fine-dining opportunities
available around the city.
There is no shortage of high-end dining
in
Milan centre. Hotel maitre d's will be glad to reserve you a place
at one of Milan's Michelin starred restaurants. With the new 2011
Michelin Italian list recently presented, these four restaurants are not
only the crème de la crème, but are the place to see and be seen among
Milan's elite.
Il Luogo di Aimo e Nadia (2 Star) -
Officially 'born' in 1962, this restaurant has since continued to
thrive in the same location (Via Montecuccoli 6) by Aimo, Nadia and
their daughter Stefania. Their food is known more for its fresh quality
than chemical, or gimmicky alterations, and is a blend of regional
Italian sourcing such as: Piedmont veal, Tuscan suckling pig and
Sicilian capers. And, of course, the sommelier is on hand to match these
sumptuous delights with wines from their extensive wine cellar.
Sadler Milano (2 Star) - Via
Cardinale Ascanio Sforza, 77. This is a beacon of how architecture and
interior design lends itself to the perfect union of modern culinary
art. Under the creative eye of Claudio Sadler, the menu reads like a
blend of the traditional, modern and experimental, with each dish dated
to mark its year of conception. Sadler's Ristorante Milano is listed as a
'Le Soste' restaurant, denoting it as part of an association of
restaurants that show original, creative paths that 'increase the value
of Italian cuisine in every aspect'.
Cracco (2 Star) - Conveniently
located a short walk from one of the most exclusive Milan centre
hotels, Cracco insists on being the place to be seen in the heart of the
city. Having been part of the team awarded the first Italian Michelin
Star, Chef Carlo Cracco is a name that is synonymous with dining at its
finest. Amidst an elegant setting designed by architects Gian Maria and
Roberto Beretta, Cracco serves up modern interpretations of light
Italian classics. The wine cellar specialises in 1800s labels selected
to complement the changing menus.
Il Ristorante Trussardi alla Scala (2 Star) -
Piazza della Scala, 5. Revamped in 2009, Il Ristorante Trussardi alla
Scala is the epitome of clean, contemporary Italian dining. Guests are
offered two seating options in a restaurant designed to feel like an
affluent, welcoming suite in a Milan centre hotel: views over Piazza
della Scala from luxurious plush seating, or you can opt to sit in the
dynamically designed open-kitchen area. Chef Andrea Berton creates
intricately balanced menus with organically sourced ingredients that
showcase the rich sumptuousness of Italian cuisine at its best. As
expected, this restaurant also has an exceptional wine list.
