Matias Perdomo and Simon Press have worked together many years in the kitchen of Pont De Ferr. Today, together with maître and third partner Thomas Piras, they’re ready to open their new restaurant Contraste on 1st September
A few days ago we illustrated the ideas livening up Matias Perdomo’s new project. The Uruguayan chef who, after many years (and a Michelin star) at Pont De Ferr, is ready to begin a new adventure called Contraste, in Via Meda 2, in Milan. And during our first visit Matias was so kind he invited us to one of the rehearsal dinners he’s organising in view of the opening, scheduled on 1st September. So last night we ended up in the courtyard of this typically Milanese house, which will welcome its visitors at its small tables, for a cocktail or a glass of wine, before letting them sit in the large room, for dinner. The aim of Perdomo and his two fellow-travellers, Argentinian sous-chef Simon Press and Italian maître Thomas Piras is to start to talk with their guests right from this initial step, so as to understand from them what they would like, thus directing their choices in the kitchen. This in order to gradually remove the menu at Contraste, and reach a service that will be personalised depending on the wishes of whoever will sit at one of their tables.
