SANT'AMBROEUS

Opened in 1936, Sant'Ambroeus quickly established itself as one of Milan's most chic and refined patisseries. Although named after Ambrogio, the famous Milanese bishop and patron saint of the city, its tarts and mignardises are often inspired by French recipes. However, it's a great place for breakfast, with its cornetti and irresistible panettone, served with whipped cream. For lunch or dinner, the elegant wood-panelled dining room is illuminated by imposing Murano glass floor lamps.
