One of the most amazing bar experiences ever – with a ‘caccio e pepe’ cocktail: 1930 Bar (8. June 2025)
The 1930 Bar was No. 50 of The World’s 50 Best Bars in 2024, and is located within the Premiata Pizzeria, but you can only get in if you have a reservation, which isn’t easy to get since you need to be a regular (or like me, lucky), to get a booking. The entrance is […]
A little bit alternative, but with a great tasting menu – and slow service: Restaurant Mater Bistrot (8. June 2025)
Given the place I originally wanted to visit wasn’t actually open (despite the fact that the hotel had confirmed the booking), I was forced to look for something on short notice – and sometimes you’re lucky with such cases, like I was that evening. The Mater Bistrot was at the other end of the city, […]
Quite a lovely restaurant with good vegetarian options: Restaurant Cactus (8. June 2025)
The Restaurant Cactus is located in an area of Milan I had barely ever visited, but I actually found the area quite appealing. At first, I was a bit skeptical of the restaurant layout because the sidewalk is between the restaurant entrance and the little outside patio, which I always find a bit unappealing. However, […]
A vegetarian Michelin-star experience … leaving with a mixed impression: Restaurant Joia (7. June 2025)
Sometimes I’m so positively surprised by vegetarian dining experiences, and sometimes I’m quite underwhelmed. The Joia was somewhat in the middle. The place isn’t located too centrally, so, it’s a bit of travel. And when you then enter the space, it’s truly nothing really special, which is a bit disappointing. But then again, I was […]
One of The World’s 50 Best Bars – and I dare say ‘rightly so!’: Moebius Bar (7. June 2025)
The Moebius Bar is one of The World’s 50 Best Bars (No. 38 in 2024), which I definitely felt like visiting when in Milan. I decided to give two drinks a try, starting with the “Fluffy Jasmin (GinRaw Original, Crema di Mezcal del Maguey, Lampone, Cocco, Panna, Jasmin)” (EUR 14.00), which did not only look […]
A lovely place with good service, and vegan dishes for a fair price: Restaurant The Meet (7. June 2025)
Sometimes you end up being quite positively surprised when you walk into a place where your expectations aren’t too high – and then you figure that it’s actually quite a lovely place to visit. They are offering a “weekend brunch” (EUR 25.00), which is composed of a few elements like a small snack from the […]
Theoretically amazing, if it wasn’t for the ‘hair incident’: Restaurant Ratanà (3. April 2022)
The Ratanà showed up on my research list a couple of times when I checked out new places for Milan. So, I decided to give it a try. The “Five-Courses Tasting Menu” (EUR 60.00) with the “Wine Pairing 5 Glasses” (EUR 40.00) makes for a great combination for lunch, and it definitely started great with […]
A truly amazing experience worth visiting – the ‘Discovery’ restaurant of The World’s 50 Best: Restaurant Contraste (2. April 2022)
I had booked the Contraste after I had googled a couple of places to be visited when in Milan and this place showed up a couple of times and its chef, Matias Perdomo, seemed to be able to surprise guests with delicious new combinations. Only later that night when already seated, I realised that the […]
