Hotel Metropole
Venice

The Metropole Hotel has a reputation for bold
decisions and superb results, because courage
deserves reward, and because there is no need
to travel far to find excellent food. The Tracontemporary menu, introduced by the Met Restaurant
(1 Michelin Star) in 2012, merges two opposite
but complementary philosophies. Rigorously Italian recipes are presented both traditionally and in
a fresh, contemporary manner. The menu includes
the great dishes that have written the history of
Italian food, as well as contemporary versions of
the same recipes, presented in creative and unexpected forms and colours. While past and present
are in stark contrast, all the Met’s dishes are made
from carefully selected, top quality raw materials,
and fresh seasonal products. Guests can savour
typical Venetian Sarde in Saor, made exactly as
our grandparents made it, or in contemporary style, with the sardines cut into little squares and with
onion that has not been mixed in.

Then there are equally exquisite but contrasting
versions of casunziei ampezzani: classical raviolotti filled with red beetroot and smoked ricotta cheese, or contemporary fresh pasta strips
with the beetroot cleverly accompanied by poppy seeds and crisp radicchio. Extraordinary food
demands an extraordinary setting, and the Met
Restaurant reflects the dualism of tradition and
modernity with a context of rare elegance. The
dining room is illuminated by suffused light from
Murano glass
lamps of metaphysical design, made by the glass
maestro Seguso, and from a discrete but charming fireplace. In perfect harmony, antiquity, in
the form of 17th century paintings and engravings, creates a clear link to the historical heart
of Venice, a city with a traditional passion for art,
culture and beauty.

HOTEL MEPTROPOLE
VENICE

Venice, a captivating city which strikes the eye
and moves the heart with the colours of each season, its perfumes and the flavours of its food. Enveloped in the same magic, the Metropole offers
you emotions involving all the senses. Eccentric,
warm, eclectic, a place where the décor becomes
an emotional experience, where each detail tells a
story and the atmosphere is imbued with the enthusiasm for welcome and hospitality inherent in
those who, as in this case, own and run a hotel
with passion and creativity, sharing the pleasure
of collecting antiques with their guests. A 5 star
hotel that seduces and charms, a restaurant that
surprises for its creative cuisine and the fame of
its awards. Behind both of them, love, care and
persistence. The resulting mood is incomparable.
After all, here nothing happens by chance.
