#food_concept
Role
Overseeing and conceptualizing the Culinary Experience, organizing and executing
the operations, documenting events, collaborating with artists on exhibition
concepts.
Goal
Transforming a former gambling den into a socially modular pop-up restaurant,
offering a vegetarian culinary experience.
Output
The establishment was renovated and converted into a pop-up restaurant, café
and bar with 80 seats and a stage for cultural and social events. The space was
transformable into a jazz stage and the bowling alley provided a platform for
long nights of great music and served occasionally as a gallery for local artists.
Culinary concept - In the vegetarian kitchen, 90% of the used products were
organic and sourced in Switzerland. In collaboration with the Urban Agriculture
Network Basel, we focused on utilizing what nature locally and seasonally provided
us in and around Basel.
Everything on the Milan’s menu was made in-house. Occasionally, carefully selected
external products such as “Laflor Chocolate” completed the culinary range.
