In the historic and vibrant heart of Milan, the Beefbar restaurant has taken over the chapel of the Former Archiepiscopal Seminary. Inspired by the major figures of the Milanese style of the 40s and 60s, the interior designers and architects Emil Humbert and Christophe Poyet have masterfully transcended this place while respecting its memory and architectural details.

Under a spectacularly high nave, interposed by dramatically sober vaults, the open kitchen, bar, and restaurant are seamlessly connected. They are united by the same terrazzo floor - mixing shades of green, black, white, and burgundy - whose stylized wave pattern pays tribute to the architect Luigi Caccia Dominioni. Half-height wood paneling in dark walnut recalls the aesthetic codes of Milanese cafés and provides a sense of comfort.

Theatrically decorated, they are punctuated by triptych sconces by designer Ignazio Gardella and an eclectic collection of artworks in a variety of styles and subjects. Verde Alpi marble tables and chairs by Vico Magistretti furnish the space with elegance, combined with several suspended Asterios lamps in bronze and frosted glass, designed by the duo HUMBERT&POYET. Located in Piazza del Quadrilatero, just a stone’s throw from San Babila, Beefbar Milan resonates with this creative city, which has always been a city of opera, fashion and of course design. The restaurant reveals the inimitable sensuality and relaxed nature of the Italian spirit.
