In the heart of Milan, SUQSU blossoms as a vibrant place, where couscous becomes the protagonist of a sensory journey weaving together Food & Design. The name unites two worlds: SUQ, the bustling markets of North Africa, and KSEKSU, the Berber word for couscous. At the core of the SUQSU experience lies couscous, steamed in the traditional way and elevated with authentic flavors. SUQSU is a celebration of taste and design.
A place to dine, to discover, and to share a journey into new arts and cultures.
With us, couscous is not just a dish, it is a ritual.
Every grain, hand-rolled with care, comes alive through steam, transforming into a symphony of flavors.

Francesco Lucati, a new-generation chef from Puglia, grew up with cuisine in his heart, nurtured by family traditions. After experiences across Italy, he carries with him a simple philosophy: to honor raw ingredients and transform them into emotions. For him, couscous becomes a universal language, capable of uniting cultures and telling stories of conviviality.
At SUQSU, he finds this same vision: a project where food, design, and art merge into a single experience. Today, as Consulting Chef, he guides SUQSU on a journey that renews an ancient dish, making it contemporary and close to new generations.
