Vip Limousine Milan Takes you to the Mercato Centrale
The new meeting place in Milan
Milan is a city famous for always being in turmoil and offering new ways of spending time alone or with friends: the new Mercato Centrale Milano is one such place.
Although the Covid-19 pandemic has slowed down Milan's pace and hindered many events and initiatives, the city is slowly getting back to normal, while paying close attention to contagions.
The inauguration of Milan's new Central Market finally took place on 2 September 2021. Milan's Mercato Centrale is only the latest to be opened after those in Florence, Rome and Turin and, according to the president and founder of Mercato Centrale, it is also the most ambitious.
Vip Limousine Milano cannot avoid talking about this new city attraction that already promises to be a success and very popular not only with the Milanese, but also with the many tourists who want to indulge in the culinary arts.
Workshops, artisans and food
The Mercato Centrale Milano (Central Market of Milan) is located right at Milan's Central Station and covers two floors, with a total of 4,500 square metres.
The area is made up of numerous shops and food artisans (29 to be precise) where it is not only possible to buy food and take it home, but also to eat it on site thanks to the numerous tables made available to customers. Different types of shops have been brought together in one place, allowing shoppers to shop in one place without having to compromise.
Imagine going to this new Milan Central Market with your friends. When you're with friends, you don't always want to eat the same things, but you usually have to make compromises in order to have a good time. By deciding to have a meal in this new city meeting place, you will no longer have to settle. Here you'll find a variety of cuisines and food ranging from fish to meat.
The basic idea is very similar to the famous Anglo-Saxon food courts. Tables are available to everyone without distinction of shop or restaurant. Once you have booked your meal, all you have to do is sit down at the table of your choice without worrying if it belongs to a particular restaurant and without paying any extra.
What to expect from the Milan Central Market?
Let's go into more detail and try to understand how the new Mercato Centrale Milano works. As mentioned, the tables are free and are not connected to any kitchen: everyone can sit at no extra cost.
As far as the shops are concerned, you can decide to do your shopping and go home, as you would in a normal market, have it delivered directly to your home or consume the food on site.
You can choose between a well-stocked fish market (it is well known that Milan is home to the most important fish market in Europe), an organic market, hot and cold ready meals, bread and cakes.
If, however, you don't like queues and want to avoid having to wait longer than necessary, you can place an order by entering your arrival time: everything will be delivered at the agreed time and you can skip a possible queue.
Every shop and every restaurant has its own till, so you don't have to walk away to pay, which could lead to long queues, but you pay directly at the shop.
Our four-legged friends are always welcome and thanks to the powerful free Wi-Fi, the market promises to be particularly popular with Milan's many workers during their lunch break.
The Mercato Centrale Milano has everything, including a convenient information point, educational workshops, a dedicated radio and the American Barbecue restaurant of Joe Bastianich, the famous chef of MasterChef.
