Where To Eat Out in Milan

It’s kind of the skaters of Milan headquarters and it was also the first bar I went to, to celebrate my birthday the first year I moved to Milan. I’m pretty attached to it.

My friend works there and she makes the best sweet and spicy shots, and as a shots girl that just gets me emotional.

I would say that [this bar] is like a landmark in Milan. There’s a tiny club underneath and the owner is known and loved by everyone. It’s also the first place I ever DJ’d in front of people, so also a lot of sentimental value for me.

One of my favourite trattorias in the city, I think one of the few trattorias left in  Milan, that still has the OG mindset of it. It’s like going to your nonna’s house for lunch: authentic Italian meals at super reasonable prices. I always go there to have a nice lunch or dinner with friends, it’s always good energy and good food.

There’s a Nigerian restaurant that actually isn’t on the internet, it’s called Jarnas Bar and Cafeteria in Via Lodovico Settala 3 (Angolo Via Panfilo Castaldi 23), but it’s super cute and authentic with Madam Eve that runs the show. It’s primarily a bar, but if you call in advance you can create your own menu, and if you go there randomly there’s the meals of the day. I absolutely love it, I was looking for a place in Milan to eat Nigerian food and when I found this gem I almost cried. I organised a massive dinner with a bunch of my friends so they could try it as well.

I’m obsessseeeeedd with tacos. I could probably eat just tacos for the rest of my life and the absolute best tacos in Milan are Santo Taco. Super authentic tacos and cocktails, in a cute a cosy restaurant, 10/10 in love.

Where we all get our hair done (they are great at crazy colors).

The tattoo shop of the “cool” kids of Milan. I don’t go here but they do cool residencies sometimes.

Similar to five guys in style but it’s not a real fast food chain. It was opened by somebody in the Milan scene. Nice burgers, cool environment.

Chinese restaurant I love. Mad cheap, AWESOME Food.

It's a coworking/restaurant and hang out spot, they make open sandwiches that are banging (it’s in Chinatown).

Incredible Tuscan food (a bit expensive but definitely worth it).

Cheap home made food, cash only. Like grandma’s kitchen.



Typical Milano food, I bring all my guests here for real local food (higher end but worth the money).

Iconic streetwear store and distribution company in Italy.

Best magazine and book selection (close to Prada foundation).

They make their own gin, the owners used to work in fashion and design. It’s an incredible place for late night drinks.

Vintage/flea market + lots of food trucks, music. It happens once a months but they have now extended it to every weekend. It’s set in an old factory - you need LOTS of time here.

It's a squatted building where they organise different art shows, photography exhibitions, different music nights. The worst stuff goes on here but it’s a staple in Milan culture. It’s very fun!

It looks like a beautiful greenhouse but it’s a restaurant and a bar. A piece of heaven in Milan

Plants, gin, more plants, gin again but mixed and special gin. Well, it’s not just that. The food? Amazing. The place? Beautiful. Your date could fall in love here - but beware, it may be with the gin

You know the tiny winery full of antique, super rare bottles in a small town in Tuscany where you can sip extraordinary wine and take a bite of homemade bruschettas? Ok this is the thing, but in Milan

We present you your new food addiction: cotoletta alla milanese. Try it here and your transformation in a real local will be completed by saying 'uè grazie figa' instead of a regular thank you at the end

Brunch. A sunny day, the nature surrounding you, the comfort food. It’s not an Instagram picture, it’s this place. Make a call and remember to book a table to enjoy your brunch in the garden!

Someone - well, pretty much everyone - say they make the best pizza in Milan, the only one that tastes like a ticket for Naples

The place in Milan for contemporary art since 1954. Exhibitions of international artists happen all the time, so you can’t miss

For the last 25 years Fondazione Prada has championed contemporary art and culture through its innovative and experimental program. A visit is mandatory not only for the exhibitions and stunning architecture, but to IG story your time at Bar Luce which will make it seem as if you're in a Wes Anderson movie

It's a mainstay in the streetwear scene since its launch in 1989. If you’re a real streetwear addict this is basically a pilgrimage destination

Best movie theater in Milano. They screen really cool and diverse movies at literally every time of the day. Movies are not dubbed! You don’t have to hear your fav actors speaking with a weird Italian voice! Yes!! Another awesome thing about this place is that the lovely lesbian couple who run it got it from the local church. I have no idea how they manage to screen stuff like a death metal documentary there but I swear they do!

Illustration and comic book art museum. They have great exhibitions and workshops. The place where the museum is located is very nice. There is a cool funny statue, a little park with a tiny skatepark and a bar called Boom where you can enjoy happy hour sitting outside or on the rooftop.

The place is def not fancy and they only make pizza, but it's super delicious and it gives you an idea of what the Isola district used to be before hipsters and gentrification arrived.

It's a public swimming pool, but also a theater and venue that hosts various events. It's really a unique place, where beautiful 1930s Italian architecture meets contemporary art and happenings.

Triennale is home to the Italian design Museum and hosts some of the best exhibitions in Milano. They also have concerts and sometimes music events that start super late at night and in the morning. Outside in the garden there's a bar, amazing sculptures and a fountain by Giorgio De Chirico.

Probably the best gelato in Milano. Fucking amazing! Try salty pistachio!

It is the first fetish boutique in Italy opening back in 1998. Arianna and Martina are super nice and they have the best lingerie, toys and latex in Milan. What I love is that they also carry pin-up dresses and 50s inspired clothing.

Super fun and friendly place in the heart of Lambrate. They brew their own unpasteurised/unfiltered beer and have won many awards for it. They sell their craft beer to a lot of pubs in Milan, Italy, and abroad, but this is the original spot where it all started in the mid 90s.

I like Rob de Matt because food is good but it’s also a very cool concept/project. The association who runs it provides work and help to marginalised people. They have a big garden/outside area that is fantastic in the summer where you can have brunch outside in the weekends and they hosts lots of happenings.

If you love to be surrounded by books like I do, this is the place for you! It’s a wine bar/bistrot/second hand bookshop all together. You can go for lunch, aperitif, dinner or just drinks. They host poetry readings, stand up comedy nights, little concerts and you can take your drinks outside in the nice little square.
