The best vegetarian restaurant in the north of Italy. It's one star Michelin but it's actually a 5 stars from every point of view. Do not hesitate to go there and have one of the best food experience even if you are not interested or keen in the vegetarian cuisine.
Excellent Natural and vegetarian cuisine. Quality ingredients and creative recipes.
Excellent wine list. Despite being starry and has the reputation that follows it has reasonable prices.
Assolutamente da provare! Piatti unici, esplosioni di gusto e colore! Una delle migliori esperienze culinarie mai fatte! Grazie!
Exceptional experience! The food was surprising and delicious. We shared two of the three available tasting menus and each dish was different and exciting. The service could not have been better, and while the setting is formal, it was not an over-the-top burdening kind of formality. It is worth mentioning that prices are very high, but that is not unexpected for a Michelin star restaurant.
Unique experience, great food (all vegetarian) and very kind staff!
Refined creative intense culinary and aesthetic experience
Conferma in toto le aspettative, mi spiace solo x il locale un po' angusto, ma x fortuna si viaggia con le varie portate. Consigliatissimo
The cult place of vegetarian cuisine, a step forward as ideas and vision of the kitchen that other starred chefs will reach in a short time ... A unique and unforgettable experience to try absolutely especially if you are not a vegetarian .....
I don't usually eat vegetarian but the rediscovery of some natural flavors, the true taste of the raw material, the art of combining flavors and color has awakened my palate. Local and first choice service. Excellent result.
Brilliant. Very nice place, very courteous service. Vegetarian dishes that do not regret meat and fish. In the same room there is a bistro menu at reduced prices. An experience to try
Tested more time ago out of curiosity than anything else. Surely there is a large studio and a lot of work, in some ways surprising. Definitely an experience to try even if you are convinced carnivores.
Terrible, tasteless, bland food. You couldn't pay me to eat that food! Who are you people rating this place 5 stars?!?! I want my money and time back for this horrible experience!
Absolutely fantastic.. Heavenly treat for the palate, the 25 euro set lunch is spectacular enough to impress, yet delightfully affordable..
I'm not a vegan, but it still a special experience. We were here to try the vegetarian michelin star restaurant. The quality of food is good, they make vegan food more interesting. The dishes are beautiful but isn't tasteful enough for me. For me, is kind of overpriced, the quality of service is way too low. Overall, isn't good enough to be a michelin star restaurant.
Amazing experience! A dinner full of taste, colors and aromas.
Restaurant nouvelle cuisine ultra-luxury for rich vegans/vegetarians! All prices shown on showcase are doubled in the internal menu. A Menu from 35 becomes 75. The First and the Second dishes from 12 becomes 25. A dinner for two More
The quality of the food is excellent and is accompanied by a remarkable visual beauty
Joia is simply put, perfect. The overall experience I had at Joia far surpassed what I expected, the single issue I had with the visit were my cups, of the 20+ restaurants I ate at in Milan/Como they were the only one to serve me wine in a cup that wasn't clean which to me is unacceptable.
Despite this I am giving this a 5-star on the basis of the food alone, the service was terrific other than the glasses, the food far surpassed what I have experienced in a restaurant before and the overall experience offered was so incredible that Joia has become the basis of which I base all comparisons of for Vegetarian restaurants. The outstanding dish to me on their menu would have to be 'a doorway to Heaven' which offered possibly the best taste I have ever experienced. The artichokes in this dish are beyond what I thought was possible to achieve with artichokes and served as the single most delicious piece of food I have ever had in my mouth.
We came and dined on two dishes alone, 'A doorway to Heaven' and 'The navel of the world', accompanied by these two were several additional courses which were included (at no additional cost) to round out what was possibly one of the best culinary experiences I will ever have.
My words cannot do Joia justice, view the pictures and visit this restaurant if you enjoy food.
Perfect service, beautiful presentations, and delicious food. The only thing missing was cocktails.
Very friendly staff, welcoming environment, impeccable food. On the advice of a friend, Monica, who knows the chef, I decided to visit this restaurant. Healthy choices and fresh food, dishes with strong contrasts but in harmony with each other. A lot of care in all aspects, starting from the welcome on arrival, the presentation of the dishes and the furniture.
It is always a pleasure to be able to eat in this restaurant
had dinner with bistro menu.
great evening, wonderful vegetable tempura.
experience / price super convenient!
The quality of the food is excellent and is accompanied by a remarkable visual beauty in the setting that makes the experience unique. Highly recommended even for omnivores like me. Prices sustained but not exaggerated considering the michelin star. Possibility of a lunch deal for 25 with a large plate of various tastes or 40 with a more structured menu including appetizer, main course and dessert of your choice. Wine tasting menu from 20
If you are in Milan and you want to try vegetarian cuisine this is the right place, simple place, courteous and discreet service, excellent dishes.
One of the most creative restaurants i've been to. A constant surprise plate after plate. Vegetarian Magic!
I'm not a vegetarian and I must admit that even though I was skeptical, the flavors were good. But the portions ... the dishes ... the prices were an exaggeration (in negative). An advice to the waiters ... you are not constantly on the customer. You also accompanied me to the bathroom ... I thought you wanted to come with me ...
Incredible evening that will always remain with me. We took the Zen menu, and at the end of the evening we were really in a state of peace and serenity. In addition to the 11 courses there have been brought so many tastings, all incredible, stimulating, never predictable, sometimes amusing, sometimes reflective. Many memories have surfaced and a great desire to get back on the stove has returned. The service is impeccable, highly prepared, young, full of energy, dedication, humility. Chef Leeman also came to the table to greet us and share his culinary and philosophical choices. Really interesting person. We arrived at 8, and without realizing it it was 11:30! A lovely, memorable evening. Only attention: the menu is not vegan but vegetarian lacto. Price more than fair but not for everyone, but coming here cannot be the norm, but a precious moment to share with those you love.
Great, fresh and new flavors and very nice location. Impeccable service.
Wonderful experience of creative haute cuisine at cheap but acceptable prices. Consider the valid promotions.
a true taste experience with ample space left to the vision.
Extremely refined and well-kept in all its parts.
Beautiful experience of taste and aesthetics. Courteous and helpful staff. The presence in the dining room and the greeting at each table by chef Leeman is a really welcome plus.
Very friendly and efficient staff. Amazing food! A dinner at Joia is basically a magnificent taste experience
It is completely accurate to say this is the best vegetation food I have ever had, but it only tells 10% of the story. This is among the finest restaurants in the world. Period.
The subtle combinations of flavors each sitting side by side and yet separate in their effect will delight everyone.
If you care to be vegetation for moral, ethical or climate reasons you will be left wondering what it is you have been eating all these years. If you are an omnivore or just a meat eater, you will be amazed that a meatless meal can have so much flavor.
The Japanese have a term called kodawari, which means a complete devotion to craft. Maestro Leeman would be instantly recognized in Japan as having attained the highest level of kodawari as well as promoting a buddhist ideal of enlightened eating. In the west, we d just call him a master chef.
Beautiful experience, excellent food, attention to detail and the right attention received by the dining room team. Chef Leemann was friendly, helpful and interested in our opinions!
Dinner was waiting to be discovered. New and absolutely pleasing combinations. Courtesy and professionalism.
In my opinion the best vegetarian restaurant with vegan proposals in Milan! Awarded with a star from the Michelin guide. Impeccable dishes and great service (I speak of the starry, I have not yet been in the bistro). The peculiarity is that in the same room there is the restaurant area and the bistro area .... so when you book you have to specify! They accompanied me to see the place (I was in the first room - which at lunch welcomes the diners of the restaurant - overlooking the road not really pleasant, so I asked to see the rest for future visits since the kitchen is truly sublime)! ... and the love for the second "Cielo" room was created as a restaurant for both lunch and dinner with a view of the kitchen !!! From now on I will go to Joia only if there will be room in this beautiful room! Follow me on Instagram for my delicious discoveries @di_corsa_in_pasticceria
Tasting menu "the ecstasy of nature" sublime. 5 stars are few to define the dishes. All excellent
I have been with my partner, the cuicna is really excellent, the refined environment and the refined dishes, as well as being presented divinely, are at the same time delicate and tasty with combinations that are sometimes risky as well as apt. In short, highly recommended to all, vegans, vegetarians and others.
What to say that has not yet been said. The paradise for veg
Amazing experience. As a vegan it was emotional for me to have a high quality culinary experience and to prove to myself and companion that we can enjoy creative tasteful food without hurting animals!
Joia is a vegetarian gourmet restaurant. We took the lunch menu at 45 with starter dessert. Very good starters and gourmet dishes. I was a little disappointed with the desserts (I found the desserts not sweet enough for my taste). The waiters are friendly and the service is waiting for you.
Wonderful Michelin star and vegan restaurant. The highlight of the trip. Consider the wine tasting. An extraordinary experience.
Definitely worth eating here. Fairly reasonable portions for a Michelin star rated restaurant. The food has Indian references but is unmistakably continental although a bit gimmicky. Only Michelin rated vegetarian restaurant apparently.
We reserved at the last possible moment but they found us table immediately. athey were very welcoming from the first door. We really liked the modern art atmosphere. They started with firing a candle and asking about type of water. Then they bring us a first compliment from the chef vegetables from his garden with mouses from them. The fruit cocktail was very tasty. There were separate forks and knifes for each dish. Every few minus someone from the staff brings us compliments, pouring water or cleaning. The food was very delicious and very creatively decorated. The toilet was clean and there were spare towels and napkins. We enjoyed the deserts very much. Highly recommend!
This is the experience that at least once in life should be done, even by those who do not have such an extreme power supply among the strings. What I most appreciated is that the sensory journey proposed by Pietro reflects his being and his philosophy.
Love it. To find such creative vegetarian cuisine is a treat!
This is the best vegetarian dish I have ever tasted, and every dish is carefully designed! Come straight! It is a star of Michelin!
Sensory experience to be enjoyed slowly, great staff and relaxing atmosphere.
I'm not a vegan or a vegetarian, but for lunch the menu (around 12 eu) is more than enough to satisfy your appetite. Excellent quality. Optimally combined flavors and textures. For a light and quality meal I recommend it to everyone, carnivores and not!
I approached Joia's kitchen with so much curiosity after having read the story of Pietro Leeman and his spiritual path alongside Maestro Marco Ferrini. I tried the square plate at lunch time and it was all excellent. Five mini courses that satiate and satisfy. Explosion in the mouth of flavors that is difficult to explain. Competitive price for the quality offered. A gourmet lunch break that leaves its mark. Congratulations!
Great veg restaurant. Who complains or is not vegetarian or is the usual user of groupon et similia ...
I had the most amazing vegetarian meal at this place! The food was excellent (not to mention, guilt-free), the staff were lovely and the decor was amazing. It is very zen and relaxing. It was a great experience and definitely worth the price. The chef is also very lovely and he comes to every table to check that you are content with your food. The ingredients used are all natural. This place deserves two Michelin stars, not just one!
Every time a surprise. A must for Milanese restaurants
I've been to lunch. Refined cuisine, excellent service and great courtesy.
I state that I am not a vegetarian and that I have rarely eaten in vegetarian restaurants. I found it quite good especially for the surprising ability to elaborate the available ingredients creatively, also from an aesthetic point of view. I found a certain taste towards "sour" which is probably part of the type of cuisine. When I went, the staff (and therefore the service) left something to be desired, for a starred restaurant. However, try it to taste this type of cuisine at a high level at least once.
The top! The research behind each dish is crazy, everything is a surprise to discover
Very refined and particular Cibio. Service is a bit slow. Lukepid rice.
Simple but well-kept environment, helpful, kind and professional staff. Quality food, tasty but I expected more from what they had told me. Clean and well maintained bathroom, excellent soap
At the suggestion of one of my customers I wanted to try this "starry" vegetarian restaurant .. very disappointed. I can not get out of a restaurant where you pay a velvety cream that is nothing more than pureed shake with an excessive amount of sour cream 3 gigantic spoons of beluga lentils 30 euros thinking that maybe I have wrong dish .. No you can not. The sensory experience I have tried ... too much everything in a dish coming to disgust and not to see the time that my guest ended up leaving and not having to see that "too much". Beautiful idea of innovation in the kitchen nice to combine various tastes flavors and aromas but too much. Always. He will surely be a chef of scream and certainly from him there is so much to learn .. But I do not recommend it. So much smoke and nothing roasted ..
Excellent, nothing to complain! Intriguing dishes and delightful staff.
I have been several times over the years and it has always been an extraordinary experience. Forget the prejudices about a vegetarian restaurant Joia of vegetarian cuisine has made an art, which satisfies all the senses. The last time I was there on April 1, 2016 was for my wedding dinner!
Sensational .... For the attentive palate a kitchen made of seasonal and simple ingredients devoted to amaze through, textures, temperatures, textures and scenographies ... A unique experience
Innovation and very high quality. Unique flavors in a surprising combination. The wisdom of transforming natural elements into a decidedly original experience.
The thoughtfulness in responding to a request to purchase a voucher for a dinner expires.
Never contacted by email and never by phone.
In the end I opted for Cracco from which in 5 minutes I got what I wanted.
A fantastic gift, everything perfect from the kids in the dining room to the kitchen, of course. As a vegan, the menu was changed to replace everything without problems, the endless courses, all a discovery of flavors. I can't complain about anything, to return for the next special occasion.
Fantastic place, the philosophy behind Joia stays in you even when you go out.
Thanks to the kindness of the staff and professionalism.
Try it at least once in your life.
A must is the Zenith menu, which is a pleasant experience both in terms of aesthetics and cuisine.
Fantastic dishes and unique flavors ... who would have thought that eating vegan and vegetarian could be an exceptional experience! Congratulations
Apparently the world's only Michelin starred vegetarian restaurant. We went for two of the tasting menus, and as always with tasting menus in these kind of fine dining places some dishes I was a bit ambivalent about, but some were very good - particularly the vegetarian version of foie gras and the potato and truffle soup. I think it was actually reasonably priced as well, for this type of fine dining place - in particular the wine - flights of three glasses chosen by the sommelier from 15 euros.
