Joia is Europe’s first vegetarian restaurant to win a Michelin Star. Swiss chef Pietro Leemann initially consulted on the menu for the new vegetarian restaurant in Milan, Italy in 1989. One year later he bought Joia. His philosophy of ‘natural cuisine’ with his unconventional cooking style was often misconstrued. Joia Alta Cucina Naturale is centered around organic produce without meat.
Joia restaurant is intimate and incredibly understated. It is located in the city center of Milan, about a 25-minute walk from the Straff Hotel and the Milan Cathedral. The neutral colors are dominated by pale woods and clean lines. Accents of live green plants and artwork from Pietro’s travels are sprinkled throughout the restaurant. The front dining area of Joia is a more casual seating space, with the fine-dining space near the back. The kitchen, with more than 15 chefs, is positioned at the back of the restaurant to ensure diners have a quiet and peaceful experience. The cooking style, simple and delicious, draws from an Italian vegetarian tradition.
