Manifesto

Horto is the restaurant on the rooftops of Milan. One Michelin star, and a Green Star for sustainability. One exacting idea: nothing we cook has travelled more than an hour to get here.

Michelin Star

For a kitchen that thinks, that argues, that has something to say.

Michelin Green Star

Short sourcing, zero waste. And a respect that reaches the land, the seasons and the people who work them.

L'Ora Etica

Nothing here has travelled more than an hour.

Small growers, an exact geography: the Ticino Natural Park, the Orobie valleys, the pre-Alpine lakes, the Adda Leonardesca. This countryside, in every dish.

The two menus

Two journeys. One philosophy.

Veal tongue in red wine, parisienne potatoes and cherries.

L'Ora Etica

Horto's signature journey, built each morning from whatever the growers bring into the kitchen. In seven, five or three courses.

Signature: Veal tongue in red wine, parisienne potatoes and cherries.

Gambolò beans, leek, mangetout and tarragon.

Vegetali Mon Amour

Vegetables as a point of view, never as a restriction. Seven, five or three vegetarian courses.

Signature: Gambolò beans, leek, mangetout and tarragon.

Two chefs, one kitchen

One vision, two generations.

Norbert Niederkofler

I want to light the world with the spark of ethical cooking, and change the way we eat, work together and live.

Milan is farmland dressed up as a city. Horto remembers that, every day.

The terrace

A step from the sky over Milan.

From up here the eye travels and Milan tells its whole story. CityLife and Gae Aulenti, the Torre Velasca, the Terrazza Martini, via Manzoni and La Scala, the Castello Sforzesco. Then it wanders off into the distance, as far as Monte Rosa. Facing you, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele. The Duomo close enough to touch. In the evening Horto becomes the finest table in Milan.

On the rooftop

From morning to evening.

The Duomo. Two lighter hours, the same height, the same grace: an invitation to slow down, if only for an hour, and let the mind wander.
