The splendid exhibition of Dali's art has satisfied our thirst, but you know that art puts a little peckish, so we decided to stop for lunch in Milan. We want to
something fast, close and not too demanding from an economic standpoint as well, wandering in the Duomo area, we came across the " Zen Sushi Restaurant" located in Via Maddalena, on the corner of Corso di Porta Romana.
From outside the room is small: it overlooks the road and not particularly attractive. Through a well-lit corridor and made wider by appropriately placed mirrors, one arrives at the main hall where beautiful of whether the Kaiten (a kind of treadmill run where all the plates of sushi and sashimi).
Zen was the first Japanese restaurant in Italy to use the Kaiten that abroad is rife.
In another room which is accessed via a bridge (maybe a little 'kitsch but perfectly in tune with the place) there is a restaurant with table service. Intrigued by the novelty we sit at the counter and begin to glimpse the delicacies that the tape parade in front of us.
Each plate has a color which also sets the price. They range from around € 2 to € 7 for a more expensive which is now a sashimi of tuna. There is plenty of choice: seaweed salad, carpaccio of salmon or tuna, and rolls of nighiri all types (each plate contains two pieces).
Within twenty minutes we find ourselves in front of two stacks of empty plates: get carried away in an instant!
I nighiri and rolls are good and the quality of the fish is more than satisfactory, however there is still a bit 'of space (unbelievable, right?) So we let groped by a portion (of 8) of uramaki fried with shrimp: Very tasty though, in my opinion, the sauce is too abundant and dominates the other flavors.
finally sated and satisfied, let us pamper september wonderful afternoon and we enjoy a walk in downtown Milan before returning the way home.
Price: 80 € (with a beer and a half mineral)
money : Middle
Rating: 7
Notes and personal considerations: Inside the restaurant is a magazine about the events of Zen, including art shows, theme parties, exhibitions of Bonsai and interesting pages on the history and culture of Japan.
