Located in the heart of Milan, Moebius is a multifaceted space where cuisine, mixology, culture, music, and hospitality come together to create a unique experience. Founded by Lorenzo Querci, the venue—once a textile warehouse—has been transformed into a dynamic open-space concept featuring a cocktail bar, a vinyl shop, live jazz performances, and two restaurants: a tapas bistrot and a fine dining restaurant, both offering ever-evolving culinary experiences.
The venue’s name is inspired by the renowned French illustrator Moebius, known for visually linking sci-fi settings with dreamlike and futuristic characters and atmospheres. This influence is reflected in the venue’s design, which combines iron elements with warm wooden accents and natural details, including a magnificent 700-year-old olive tree from Andalusia that spans both floors of the space.
Since its opening in 2019, Moebius has received numerous international accolades, thanks in part to the leadership of Chef Enrico Croatti, who has earned three Michelin stars over his career.
The culinary concept of the Tapa Bistrot revolves around the idea of sharing, offering a modern and creative interpretation of tapas influenced by international flavors and cultural contaminations. The fine dining restaurant Moebius Sperimentale, awarded one Michelin star in the 2025 Michelin Guide, reimagines haute cuisine through innovative techniques. In 2024, Moebius was recognized as the Best Food Program of the Year.
