What I’d eat every day: one of the many dishes (in particular, this is made with cauliflower pâté and pumpkin pâté with sprout salad, buckwheat chapati and chestnuts) coming from the creativity and research of Pietro Leemann, the diamond top in Milan’s natural cuisine
Over here, the attention for vegetarian and vegan cuisine is not something we have showed recently, following a fashion. Just think of Identità Naturali, which in every edition of the Congress in Milan, in February, welcomes talents and researchers, or read the articles in the Naturalmente and Green columns in this website. Therefore, for this new episode in our series on the best restaurants in Milan, we’ll focus on the growing offer dedicated to the vegetal world. Ghea, Via Valenza, 5 (+39.02.58110980) This is one of the most refined places for this kind of food in Milan. For a long time now, chef Antonio Tomaselli has been conducting an interesting and ambitious research, always presenting creative dishes, in a restaurant with a very well finished decor. Average price is 40€ Govinda, Via Valpetrosa, 5 (+39.02.862417) A historic restaurant for the Hare Krishna community, this was one of the first points of reference for vegetarians in town. It offers a set menu both at lunch and dinner, with an excellent quality/price ratio. Average price is 25€
