MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
This restaurant in one of Milan’s historic districts is home to the chef who first introduced the concept of natural, vegetarian cuisine to the world of Italian fine dining. Pietro Leemann is the man (and great philosopher) behind this “vegetarian restaurant” where the menu is 80% vegan and gluten free. This chef’s imaginative and dream-like dishes bear witness to the philosophical and spiritual transformation he has undergone over many years, with recipes that showcase the essence of their ingredients in colour, flavour, texture and presentation. The restaurant is minimalist and elegant in style, while its Joia Academy aims to introduce participants to all aspects of the chef’s philosophy.
Gastronomy & Sustainability
"My cuisine is good for the planet and for those who have the opportunity to savour it, ensuring that it is sustainable and in harmony with the soil. Our role is to absorb, implement and share this knowledge (including at the dining table!) in order to maintain this culinary balance. The vegetarian cookery competition which I have established and the books that I have published over the years are all part of this philosophy."
