Hôtel Métropole extends popular ZIA pop-up until end of September

ZIA, the creative pop-up restaurant that has been serving diners in the Odyssey area of the five-star Hôtel Métropole with experimental pizza and dessert concepts all summer long, has announced that it will be continuing its evening service until the end of next month. 

Since opening on 12th June, the ZIA pizza pop-up, led by chefs Manon Santini and Rocco Seminara, has been enchanting guests of the hotel and visitors with its unique blend of traditional Italian flavours and modern culinary techniques. 

The ZIA concept, which had been due to wrap up at the end of August, has proved so popular that the Hôtel Métropole has decided to extend the restaurant’s evening tenure of the Odyssey’s garden space by a full extra month.

ZIA’s menu features classics, such as the Margherita and Napolitana, alongside more inventive and unusual pizzas, like the avocado, truffle and caviar pizza creations.

The desserts also stand out. Chef Santini, who won a World Champion Pizza Dessert title in 2019, has designed an array of sweet treats, with two guest favourites being the strawberry-pistachio pizza and the Piedmont chocolate hazelnut plate.

All dishes celebrate high-quality, Italy-sourced ingredients and are made with dough prepared and left to rest for 48 to 72 hours. 

The restaurant will be open for dinner from Wednesday to Sunday until 28th September.
