Fine Italian cuisine is what Milan does best. Choose from fusion food in designer
eateries to hearty dishes in the city's trattorias, serving up
Milanese veal and risotto dishes. Or sample cosmopolitan cuisine in the Brera
district and canal quarter.
Eclectic: Brera
Trendy Brera has the full spectrum of eateries including homely Italian
trattorias, fancy sushi and spicy curries. Its late opening hours making it a beacon
for night owls. Head here also for pre-dinner cocktails and Sunday brunch.
After a refreshing aperitif, dine in the good-value, laid-back restaurants in the
canal districts of Navigli and Ticinese, south of the centre. Choose a
cavernous eatery for a romantic meal or tuck in at a busy waterside pizzeria.
The area between Porta Romana and Bocconi University is packed with
Italian, Milanese and ethnic cuisine from Argentinean steakhouses to Mexican grills.
Noodle and rice cravings? A few metres away is Via Paolo Sarpi, the hub of
Milan's Chinatown.
For an all-in-one evening, busy Brera offers pre-dinner aperitifs, diverse
restaurants, late-night bars and a few spots to take your dancing shoes. Many
restaurants close on Sundays but there will always be somewhere open. It is normal
to add 10% on top of any cover charge.
