Breakfast on the terrace at Excelsior Hotel Gallia
Two exclusive dates to mark in your diary. Terrazza Gallia becomes the ideal setting to enjoy spring weather, gourmet dishes, music and breathtaking views
Spring has arrived and, to make the most of the season, Excelsior Hotel Gallia, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Milan has organised two exclusive events for hotel guests and Milanese locals alike. Save the dates: on 10 May and 14 June, from 11am to 2.30pm, a delicious breakfast will be served at the stunning Terrazza Gallia Bar on the seventh floor, showcasing the luxury hotel’s distinctive flair.
The signature elegance of Excelsior Hotel Gallia transforms morning breakfast into a convivial, relaxed gathering with an atmosphere reminiscent of ‘soft clubbing’. There is something for every palate: seasonal fresh berries and fruit, honey straight from the hotel’s own beehives, spreads and jams by Marco Colzani, and whipped butter. Spread over a curated selection of artisan baked pastries, Italian brioches or fragrant fresh bread, they are hard to resist.
To accompany breakfast, guests can choose a hot drink and fresh juice. Excelsior Hotel Gallia always knows how to treat its guests: you can also choose a sweet or savoury dish alongside a side dish from the à la carte menu. Options include an Avocado Toast with pane ai cereali misti tostato, guacamole, salmone affumicato, erbe fresche, ravanelli marinati and a finishing touch of fiori di zucca; Uovo Principe di Fino alla benedettina con salsa olandese with caviale Asetra “Cru Caviar”; or, on the sweet side, French Toast con gelato alla vaniglia e lamponi.
Sweet choices also include a Pancake topped with salted butter, maple syrup and red berries. Naturally, the menu does not end there, but we cannot ruin the surprise. For those wishing to try every treat the hotel offers, there is the sweet room where the finest artisan pastry meets refined contemporary flair. An experience made even more immersive by the Italian sounds of the 80s and 90s from the DJ set and the splendid view over central Milan, turning breakfast into an elegant listening clubbing.
Mild temperatures also bring fresh additions to the menu at Terrazza Gallia Restaurant, with dishes that strike a balance between quality, innovation and seasonal ingredients. Try the Carnaroli “Riserva San Massimo” con asparagi, provola affumicata, caffè, limone e prosciutto crudo or the Linguine ai ricci di mare, limone, bruscandoli e muddìca atturrata to see for yourself.
Main courses feature Loin of lamb with lamb essence, broad bean salad, myrtle lamb skewer and its jus and Marinated mackerel, green apple and “Centogiorni del Vesuvio” pea essence. The Milanese hotel also returns promptly on 17 May with its now iconic Sunday Brunch at Gallia Restaurant (on the ground floor), the most exclusive, unmissable Sunday food treat of the weekend.
Spring and early summer, filled with gourmet flavours, music and breathtaking views, find their most sophisticated setting on the terrace of Excelsior Hotel Gallia.
