Joia in Milan: Where Michelin-starred vegetarian cuisine turns tradition into edible art

Wait 5 sec.

Joia, a Milanese sanctuary founded in 1989 by Pietro Leemann, was Europe's first vegetarian restaurant to earn a Michelin star. Now led by Sauro Ricci and Raffaele Minghini, the establishment continues its legacy with organic, biodynamic, and often dairy-free dishes. The menu artfully blends Asian influences with Italian ingredients, offering a refined and nourishing dining experience.
