Places to eat & drink in Milan
Breakfast:
The Dome Milano
Enter through a secret door for the perfect brunch spot.
Bar Magenta
If you're looking for a true Italian breakfast (or a great apertivo) this is your spot.
Mid-Day Breaks:
Chocolat
Perfect stop if you're exploring the Brera district.
Cova
Iconic Cafe and perfect mid-day stop.
Marchesi
Another piece of Milan's culinary history, this bakery first opened in 1824. Could also be a great place to stop for breakfast.
Dinner:
Paper Moon
If you feel like dining like a local, you can't go wrong at Paper Moon.
Obica Mozzarella Bar
Not a secret spot, but a must-go for nighttime views of the Duomo.
Il Salumaio
Opened in 1957, this restaurant is truly a piece of Milan's history.
La Latteria di San Marco
A traditional Milanese dairy-turned trattoria, La Latteria di San Marco offers a uniquely historic experience. There aren't many tables, so be prepared to wait.
Trattoria Madonnina
The place to go if you're looking for local. Expect a seasonal menu. I suggest sitting outside. There are heaters!
