Chef Budel is the Queen of the Kitchen at Milan’s Award Winning Hotel Principe Di Savoia, where her new and innovative traditional Italian menu reflects her vast global experiences. The thirty-four year-old culinary talent boasts a variety of remarkable cooking experiences.

In London she was at Le Gavroche (three star Michelin), Munich’s Heinz-Winlder (three star Michelin), and also worked in Tokyo and Hong Kong. Upon her return to Milan she contributed to the award of the first Michelin star to Giannino restaurant, and in March 2002, she was the first woman to head up the Galleria restaurant of the Principe de Savoia.
Along with classics such as the Milanese veal cutlet and baby octopus in a tomato and absinth broth with a caper and chili flavored brioche, Budel offers original dishes like geranium honey-glazed duck and tarragon ice cream, corkscrew pasta with lemon sauce and anchovies marinated in traditional balsamic vinegar, steamed filet of sea bass with tasseled hyacinths and lemon verbena, broad bean and chicory heart cakes combined with crispy octopus and the fresh gazpacho with tempura prawns, cucumber and mint.
