The story

[bu:r] Milan – Modern Italian Cuisine by Chef Eugenio Boer | Wattafork

A Return to Italian Roots

In the heart of Milan, on Via Mercalli, [bu:r] is the expression of Chef Eugenio Boer’s vision of Italianità – a celebration of Italian identity through food. Together with his wife Carlotta, Boer reopened the restaurant with a clear philosophy: only Italian products, treated with the creativity that has defined his career, served in an atmosphere of genuine warmth.

The restaurant’s visual identity was shaped in collaboration with young designer Gianluca Carone, whose mark is evident in the space. The result is a setting that feels both contemporary and intimate, a place where the “familial” warmth Boer speaks of is palpable.

A Menu of Italian Virtuosity

The menu at [bu:r] is described as a break from past culinary contaminations – an homage to Italian cuisine expressed with inventiveness. Every dish draws from the country’s rich pantry, transformed through the chef’s technique without losing soul. While the kitchen’s exact creations change with season and inspiration, the guiding principle is constant: Italian ingredients, creatively interpreted.

Wine plays a central role here. The selection, curated by sommelier Leandro Cunha, is designed to complement the kitchen’s work, offering bottles that tell stories of Italian vineyards.

Recognition and Recommendation

[bu:r]’s commitment to coherent, high-quality cooking has earned it a place in the Michelin Guide as a Recommended restaurant. It is a recognition that aligns with the restaurant’s ethos: not chasing trends, but refining a personal, Italian point of view.

Whether for a dinner of quiet discovery or a celebration hosted in the restaurant’s event spaces, [bu:r] offers a Milanese experience rooted in authenticity and craft.
