Milano Cortina 2026 at Da Cactus Milano
A journey between Milan and the Dolomites
On the occasion of the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics, from February 6 to 22, Da Cactus Milano pays tribute to the Olympic spirit with a special gastronomic experience that brings together sport, territory, and wellbeing, reinterpreting tradition in a contemporary and sustainable way. For the entire duration of the Games, the restaurant offers a journey designed to accompany every moment of the day, from breakfast to evening, with dishes and pairings inspired by the symbolic places of the Italian Winter Olympics and the values of balance, energy, and conviviality.
Olympic Breakfast energy without compromise
The day begins with the Olympic Breakfast (€13.00), designed to provide the right energy intake without giving up pleasure: a flexible and balanced proposal that combines a choice between a bar, a croissant, or a dense cake, a vitamin drink such as a fresh juice, a protein smoothie, or a freshly squeezed juice, and a hot drink of your choice between coffee, cappuccino, or matcha. An ideal morning ritual to face the day with vitality, whether you are athletes, sports lovers, or simply wellness enthusiasts.
Milano Verticale tradition in a plant-based key
In the evening, instead, Da Cactus Milano presents a special off-menu proposal, a true gastronomic story that travels through Milan and Cortina through flavors, ingredients, and Alpine suggestions. Milano Verticale reinterprets one of the symbolic dishes of the Milanese tradition with a plant-based version of cassoeula, a tribute to the host city and its ability to innovate without losing its connection to its roots.
Cortina Invernale the elegance of the Dolomites
Cortina Invernale brings the elegance of the Dolomites to the table with a delicate and refined dish: marinated and smoked char, accompanied by white turnip, Kissabel apple, and mustard, for a balance of freshness, acidity, and smoky notes that recall the mountain atmosphere.
Dolci Dolomiti the warming finale
The journey closes with Dolci Dolomiti, an enveloping dessert that celebrates winter and Alpine traditions through chestnuts, mulled wine, and dark chocolate, in a play of aromas and textures that warm and comfort.
RED FLAME the cocktail inspired by the Olympic flame
To complete the experience, the signature cocktail “RED FLAME,” inspired by the Olympic flame: Chambord, blackberry shrub, Modena PGI balsamic vinegar, and Prosecco meet in an intense and vibrant drink, a symbol of energy, passion, and celebration. With this special proposal, Da Cactus Milano invites you to experience the Olympics also at the table, turning every moment into an experience that celebrates sport, territory, and a new idea of mindful conviviality.
