Ristorante di Houjie In Milano

21/04/2026: Let me start by saying that we only ordered the cutlet because we wanted to eat that. The quality is very good, but I wasn't thrilled with the breading. The reinterpretation with orange zest and pistachios might not be to my taste, but that's just my personal opinion. The cooking, however, was too raw near the bone.

19/04/2026: It's immediately clear why Consorzio Stoppani is in the top 10 percent of the most highly rated restaurants on TripAdvisor. It's not your typical Milanese restaurant: here, the atmosphere is cheerful, fun, and informal, with a vibe reminiscent of the best village festivals, but with excellent quality ingredients. We were there on a Saturday evening, and despite the restaurant being very large and featuring a spacious outdoor terrace, it was literally packed. Yet, the service was impeccable: extremely kind and welcoming, even to our dogs—a huge plus for their pet-friendly philosophy. The Menu: Seasonality and Innovation The seasonal menu—we tried the new spring/summer one—is short but meticulously crafted. Here are the dishes that impressed us: The Cotoletta: hailed as one of the top five in Milan, and our expectations were confirmed. Pistachio breading and the finest orange zest, served with a mustard, honey, turmeric, and mayonnaise sauce that's truly out of this world. A truly crunchy and refreshing combination. Mondeghili: a perfect reinterpretation of tradition, accompanied by a flavorful olive pâté. Agrì di Valtorta (Slow Food Presidium): served on a bed of hummus, crusco peppers, and plantains. Exceptional flavor, although I personally would have preferred fried plantains for a touch of crunch. Desserts: Don't miss the slightly alcoholic mango and lime sorbet. It's very reminiscent of a frozen daiquiri, perfect for a lively end to dinner. If you're looking for a genuine place where the quality of the food goes hand in hand with a convivial and unpretentious atmosphere, Consorzio Stoppani is a must-see in Milan.
