Hotel Metropole Venice Photos: HO 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. 93 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. www.hotelmetropole.com HOTEL MEPTROPOLE VENICE 92 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.
