Milano:
Capra e Cavoli Restaurant. I am always
on the look out for Vegan or Vegetarian restaurants; at Capra e Cavoli (goat
and cabbage) you get the best of both worlds.
It’s fun to go there and discover new shops, boutiques and restaurants
along the way, as it is located in the old world neighborhood of L’Isola, which
is now becoming the cool new area of Milan, where all the big skyscrapers are
going up ready for Expo 2015. On entering the restaurant a giant wall photograph
of a garden occupies the whole back wall and together with all the plants and
outdoor umbrellas scattered around, convey the impression of being in a garden and
the sensation of eating al fresco. From
the windows you can see the tall new buildings going up and the quaint objects, in
the nooks and crannies contribute to a relaxed and cozy atmosphere.
Capra e
Cavoli. The charismatic chef owner Barbara
Clementina Ferrario prepares Gnocchi ai Fiori di Campo con Lavanda e una
Fondutella di Parmigiano, gnocchi with field flowers, lavender and a fondue Parmesan
sauce. Though her cuisine is mostly Vegetarian
and Vegan, she also includes a few light meat and fish dishes in her menu and
aesthetics play a big role. “At Capra e
Cavoli we offer contemporary cuisine, healthy and creative, which respects the aromas
and natural flavors of the ingredients. We hope you’ll discover the same
sensations and emotions that we had when we created them for you.” She adds.
Capra e
Cavoli. A Ginger Caipirinha is served as
an aperitivo. The atmosphere is relaxed
and at the weekends the Brunch menu, which offers all you can eat, is very
sought after.
