Al Gatto Verde
Modena, Italy
Set in the Emilian countryside, the barn-turned-restaurant demonstrates how a philosophy of circularity can scale – applying sustainable, low-waste principles even to an expansive and diverse menu. With an emphasis on wood-fired cooking, the kitchen sources felled trees for grilling, is plastic-free and uses only solar power sourced from its roof. Choose between seating in a primly manicured garden decorated with sculptures and pine trees, and a dining room adorned with installations by Ingo Mauer, Kehinde Wiley and Olafur Eliasson. The a la carte menu features a delicately flavoured sturgeon spaghetto cooked in dashi and finished with smoked Royal Oscietra caviar, or let the kitchen guide you with a seven-course tasting menu that captures the spirit of northern Italian dining. Finish with a glass of wine sourced from the neighbouring vineyards or the tire a l'erable: a refined spin on a Canadian carnival taffy made with maple mousse and cream fudge.
