Are you looking for a place to eat while attending Milan Design Week? Or maybe you’re just planning a trip to Milan and looking for the best restaurants? Well, either case, look no further than Beefbar Milano, a restaurant sure to satisfy both your appetite for design and cuisine.

This high-end restaurant (and the latest installment of its well-known restaurant chain), located in the heart of Milan, is a must-visit destination for design enthusiasts and foodies alike. Designed by the Monaco-based design studio Humbert & Poyet (who have been working with the Beefbar brand for over 15 years), this restaurant design is an excellent example of how classic and modern styles can be combined to create a unique and inviting dining experience, filth with understated luxury and “warm glamour.”

The Architecture

Located in Piazza del Quadrilatero, Beefbar Milano is housed in the historic Archbishop Seminary, which has been restored by architect Michele De Lucchi and his studio AMDL CIRCLE, who preserved the structure’s architectural history while introducing a contemporary look that elevates the restaurant design to the standards of the modern era.

The Beefbar Milano restaurant’s architectural features also pay homage to modernist architect and designer Luigi Caccia Dominioni, a key character of the so-called Milan style, with its meticulously repaired, hand-plastered vaulted ceiling, dark walnut fluted wainscoting, and terrazzo flooring with stylized wave pattern., which bring this restaurant design to a whole new level.

The Decor

Dominioni’s trademark fusion of curves and straight lines, steel and velvet, and the traditional and the modern also inspires the Beefbar Milano restaurant design with simple yet opulent décor and a mix of vintage and contemporary furnishings.

In this sense, the designers bet on this mid-century Italian vibe through a mix of furniture that ranges from standout pieces like the plush green velvet sofas and the red leader dining chairs (which bring vibrant splashes of color to the room) to the detailed dining tables with black marble tops, which themselves vary from circular to rectangular shapes., creating a fun layout that makes this restaurant design so much more interesting.
