Milan is renowned for its cuisine, and during the Fuorisalone, the city shines more brightly than ever regarding food. For example, at the Alcova Sassetti – Lambrate Design District, ‘Aperitivo in terrazza’ occurs every evening during the event. This is a chance to enjoy the sunset with a drink and some small dishes, all accompanied with a playlist specially curated for the occasion.
The Superdesign Show is held at the Superstudio Più in the Tortona district. This event is on during the Fuorisalone from 9:30 am to 8:00 pm from 5th to 10th September. “Food Food Food” is a restaurant that is present inside the Superdesign Show. This restaurant is created by Giulio Iacchetti. He has designed a highly functional and flexible kitchen for this event, which is used for preparing and serving food to guests. Every day there is a new menu, mostly created with Italian products and sometimes some international influence. The restaurant is presented as a work of art, with extremely colorful decorations.
In addition to this, many individual showrooms offer carefully selected menus, with different types of cuisine, including Italian, Oriental, vegan, and vegetarian options. The food events at the Fuorisalone are sophisticated and well-curated to complement the design exhibitions. From street food trucks/trailers to Michelin-starred chefs, food is an essential part of Milan’s cultural background and the Fuorisalone event.
This year, the Fuorisalone is collaborating with the famous food delivery app, Deliveroo. As part of this partnership, selected places in the festival area will be able to deliver their food orders to some of the main areas of the event, and interested individuals will also be able to place and receive the food orders. This initiative is introduced as an attempt to offer added convenience to those attending the events.
In the city center, one can find many traditional Milanese restaurants, which offer menus for the creative weeks of Milan. These restaurants all over the city center do not merely offer food for the stomach; instead, they present a complete dining experience, which includes impeccable service, carefully chosen selections of wine by expert sommeliers, and opulent places as the perfect backdrop for the best in Italian haute cuisine.
In conclusion, the Fuorisalone is indeed much more than just a design fair. The entire experience of viewing the exhibitions is greatly enhanced by the availability of the gourmet food served at different locations in the city. Milan is a paradise for food lovers, and during the Fuorisalone, visitors can experience the city’s cuisine with a touch of luxury. The dedicated food events and restaurants make it a complete experience that one will remember for a lifetime.
