Grand Cafe Tre Marie - Milano

We booked as this hotel restaurant was convenient for us. Although fairly priced, the food was of a very poor quality a classic example of style over substance. The turbot mille feuille was particularly badly prepared the turbot being terribly undercooked. One of my dining friends thought it inedible. The imagination in the concept of the menu was terribly ill conceived. The best course was the simple Tiramisu, chosen from small group of traditional dishes at the end of the menu. We did have a delicious bottle of San Gregorio Taurasi, very reasonably priced. This was the poorest meal of our 4 days in Milan. We did wonder if they have a sous chef leading the kitchen on a Sunday? A shame!

Let’s down Eataly brand. Elegant setting, good ingredients but lack of flavour and weak combinations. Negligence or lack of skill.

Honestly a real disappointment given we only had one night in Milan. The place is soulless, the food average at best, the service not great. A crispy egg starter that had no texture whatsoever, Salmon that was tasteless, duck that had no taste and was still raw and chewy, beef that was also close to raw. Wine glasses that were dirty and had to be changed twice, and to do so took a lot of hand waving and shouting to get any attention. They did give us the two glasses of wine as an apology, but to be honest I would steer well clear. They are trying to do a modern twist in food and it isn’t working. There are far better places to eat in Milan.
