Overview
Eating out in Milan
Milan's food rhythm follows its working life: a quick lunch near the office, aperitivo from 18:00 along the Navigli or in Brera, then dinner. Risotto alla milanese, cotoletta and ossobuco sit beside an international restaurant scene.
Fashion weeks, Salone del Mobile and the Fiera bring business visitors who need a quick menu in English. Prices and offers change with these weeks, so printed menus date quickly.

Each menu has a default language plus any extra languages you add. You translate item names and descriptions per language; allergen labels and dietary tags come from built-in lists and appear translated automatically. Guests switch language on the menu page itself.
With ListoQ
How ListoQ runs your QR menu in Milan
One QR code that never needs reprinting
ListoQ gives each venue a permanent QR code and link. Change a price or a dish of the day and guests in Milan see it the moment you publish.
The 14 EU allergens on every dish
Tag allergens and vegetarian or vegan options per item in ListoQ, so the information guests ask about is on the menu instead of in a folder behind the bar.
Import the menu you already have
AI import in ListoQ reads a PDF, Excel, Word file or photo into a draft. You review it, add your languages and publish when it is ready.
