Culinary Turin – the best places to visit during Eurovision 2022

Last week we told you all about the highlights and must sees. This week, we’re taking a deep dive in all things foods and drinks. In doubt about where to go after a long day of exploring the city? Or looking for a place to dance the night away after watching the Eurovision show? Look no further, we’ve got you covered!

Turin is known for its sports cars and… Chocolate! And obviously we’re in Italy, so pasta, pizza and wines are top notch where ever you go. There are a lot of options, so as a foodie you will not be short of anything when visiting this beautiful city. We have made a small selection of some of the best restaurants and bars. Since Turin is rather overflowing with tourists, we do recommend making reservations ahead of time.

Crostone

Crostone is a perfect place for a quick bite. You can even place your order in advance when you’re in a hurry to get to Pala Olympica in time for the show. This restaurant is vegetarian friendly and relatively cheap. 

Just

Just is a very popular bar in the city centre of Turin. This place is very suitable for some pre-party drinks and a small bite. While enjoying a good cocktail, you get a nice view of one of the most beautiful squares in Turin; Piazza Vittoria Venezo.

Infusion Cafe Bistro

We would describe Infusion as a very cosy cafe. The staff is very friendly and the options are endless. From your traditional coffee orders, to soy cappuccinos, Infusion has it all. This bistro is perfect to pay a visit for breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up. 

Ca Dij Mat

In the mood for a home cooked meal but still feel like eating out? Ca Dij Mat is the perfect fit for you! This restaurant specialises in authentic and traditional dishes and has a wide selection of wines to match with your meal. Pay a visit to this place during an evening where you have a little more time for a sit down dinner, to make the most of your evening.

Queever

Queever is one of the most known gay bars in Turin. This bar is found in the San Salvario area and just a 10 minute Uber ride away from the Pala Olympico, wink wink. On May 14th, there’s a special Eurovision event in collaboration with Club Centralino. Check their website for details.

COVID-19

COVID-19 restrictions are still present in some parts of the world. We don’t want any unpleasant surprises for you upon arrival. Check the website of the official Italian authorities, before heading off to Turin. Safe travels!

Get to know Søren Torpegaard Lund and “Før Vi Går Hjem”

Picture by Nikolaj Thaning Rentzmann This year Denmark is represented by Søren Torpegaard Lund, one of the favorites to win the whole contest! With his song “Før Vi Går Hjem” Søren won the Danish national final Dansk Melodi Grand Prix. At the moment of writing, the song stand as third favorite in the bookies to win the Eurovision Song Contest 2026. Every now and than the singer also takes a look at the odds, but they don’t have effect on him in any way. Søren on Eurovision 2026 For Søren Eurovision feels like he’s at the peak of his carreer: “This is definitely the biggest thing I’m experiencing this far, which is absolutely amazing to me. I still can’t believe it’s happening!! But LET ME TELL YOU, it’s very much just the beginning. I’m already working on the next thing! I’m working on new music already, so you’ll find out. Then I’m working on mixing my acting career with my music career” Lund’s Eurovision Journey However his Eurovision adventure didn’t just start this year. Ever since Lund was a small child he was in awe by the magic of the song contests. “I do remember the junior Eurovision of 2001, I got it on a CD, and I was only 3-4 years old, and I remember thinking, wow these kids are on that big stage, how must that feel!”. In 2023 Lund took part in Dansk Melodi Grand Prix with “Lige Her”, but didn’t make it to the super final. Experience Over Results In the end Søren isn’t doing Eurovision for the results, but rather for the experience: “It would definitely mean a lot to have a good result. But my goal with entering this competition is never to think about the points of the result, it takes away from the fun, and to be in moment when I perform”The “Før Vi Går Hjem” singer of course wants to take Denmark as far in the show as possible.He added that “if I don’t get to the final, I’ll probably be a lil’ sad.” However thankfully Torpegaard thinks of himself as a potential winner, and with that mindset, it’s a great step towards to victory. Meaning of “Før Vi Går Hjem” The message of Søren Torpegaard Lunds Eurovision entry is: “this very human feeling of surrendering to the mistakes we all make, going back to a person over and over again, that we know is toxic, but it is also what makes us understand ourself, grow up, and live life to the fullest, letting go!” His musical inspirations for the song were the full popstar fantasy, like Troye Sivan and Danish artist Clara Sophie, who is one of the song writers of “Før Vi Går Hjem”. Søren will perform 10th in the Second Semi-Final. We hope you got to get to know him a little bit better, and read into the message behind his Eurovision 2026 entry “Før Vi Går Hjem”.
