Milan

In the heart of Milan's Chinatown, a bright and airy address, where green plants and large wooden tables make up the decor. Somewhere between hipster and New York style, the local clientele gather here with friends for breakfast, lunch oraperitivo, over a cup of matcha tea or a red fruit infusion to accompany a few hours of coworking. On apprécie aussi la formule déjeuner composée de : deux petits plats (pâtes, salades...), des fruits, du pain, un café et de l'eau, en libre service.

Milan has its own vegetarian takeaway bistro where most of the products served are certified organic: Radice Tonda. Close to the busy Corso Buenos Aires, this natural address offers over 200 different types of soup and velouté every day, followed by lasagne, quiches, veggie burgers, sandwiches and salads that are as healthy as they are tasty. The drinks are just as organic as the rest, from smoothies to beers. Also great for aperitifs. An address for a healthy lunch break that's also gourmet.

Gino Sorbillo (the greatest Neapolitan pizzaiolo ) has finally arrived in Milan with his famous thick-crust pizzas, according to the best Neapolitan tradition. A few steps from the Duomo, the address is more like a canteen than a real restaurant, but the pizzas are sensational. It seems that the menu plays the multiplication card: 7 antipasti, 7 wood-fired pizzas, 7 special pizzas , 7 beers, 7 wines and 7 digestives! For the unconditional fans of the tomato-mozza disk. Attention: no reservation is possible and the wait is often long.

A neighborhood trattoria where people come from far and wide to taste its fish and seafood. On the menu, a long sequence of hot and coldantipasti , fried and grilled meats, without forgetting the lobster à la catalane (with tomato), pride of the store. Among the primi, linguine with lobster or risotto with squid ink do not deviate from the leitmotiv of the menu. The chef's nod to Sardinian pecorino (his region), which is cut from the wheel. The Lobster Bar annex offers a new formula, whose star is the lobster!

Vintage atmosphere for this modern bistro. Its long table in the centre of the room evokes dinners in good company; for couples, however, a few stools allow you to sit at the counter. The menu is divided into two parts: on the one hand small tapas-style portions (pepper stuffed with cod cream, breaded mini veal chops, poached eggs, beef tartar...) and on the other hand main courses(spaghetti or gnocchi carbonara, sliced beef with porcini mushrooms, burgers). A fun address where you can taste everything.

Unusual setting for a Milanese restaurant that has chosen to live in a pretty mansion house from the early 1900s, surrounded by a large terrace overlooking a square, surrounded by the heights of the skyscrapers in the Porta Nuova district. Chef Cesare Battisti dynamically embraces the Milanese and Lombard culinary tradition, while simplifying the preparations and reworking the basics with his personal touch. The result is more than satisfactory both in terms of taste and presentation. Risotti to be discovered and a great audience.

This former neighbourhood dairy had the brilliant idea of installing some cutlery in its tiny shop. Every lunchtime, we jostle each other in the two rooms with tiled walls, but for a good reason: the vegetarian dishes based on seasonal vegetables and dairy products are a real explosion of flavours. And while you're enjoying a dish of herb lasagne or grilled cheese, notice the prints and photos that evoke the Milan of yesteryear, when the city lived to the rhythm of its canals, the Navigli.

The silhouette of Giannasi's kiosk has become a familiar sight to residents of the Porta Romana district. Since 1967, this unusual merchant has been selling the city's most delicious roast chicken. Marinated in olive oil and spices overnight - once tasted, you'll find it hard to swallow any more... In the tradition of old-fashioned street food, Giannasi also offers fried dishes, lasagne, risotti and mondeghili (typical Milanese meatballs). To take away and enjoy in a sunny park.

A few wooden tables a little too close together and pizzette al tegamino (small pizzas in their mould) baked in an electric oven, this is what you will find at Meucci, located one street away from Castello Sforzesco. The pizzettes are deliciously thin and crunchy, despite appearances, as evidenced by the fact that the address has been open to the public since the 1960s. And although the legendary owners have handed over to new managers, the flavours are still there. Kids will love it, grown-ups will love it!

Everything that arrives on the table of this bistro is steamed on the spot: meat, fish and vegetables are served in small wooden baskets that are very environmentally friendly. But there's no shortage of fresh offerings like the Life Bowls: bowls bursting with mango, goji berries, bananas, agave, maracuja, granola and other vitamin-rich freshness. Smoothies, macedonies and pressed fruit are also on the menu. About sixty seats distributed over two floors in a functional, linear facility, perfect for lunch break.

On the border between the Brera and Porta Nuova districts, a "risto-shop" that showcases the regional gastronomic specialities of Emilia-Romagna and especially the king of Italian cheeses, his majesty Parmesan. In the shop, where everything is on sale, it's like a cheese dairy where tastings are the order of the day. On the plate, tempting recipes such as meat tortellini sprinkled with the famous cheese, cannelloni au gratin and a cheesecake obviously made with parmesan. Also available as an aperitif.
