With the beginning of September, Milan returns teeming and effervescent, just like its busy inhabitants, to start the year full of purpose and initiative, but without giving up the golden hour of the aperitif, a true Milanese institution par excellence.
Brera, a neighborhood with a bohemian soul and a chic and trendy flavor, hides some of the most popular gems of the Milanese, where you can relax in the warm hours at sunset, in company or alone, sipping a glass of wine or a cocktail, paired with a respectable amuse bouche.
International atmospheres, bold contrasts and original dishes mix in the romantic alleys of the pedestrian area, between secret courtyards, colored doors and small illuminated windows, in a meeting of flavors and smells that will help to restore that desire for relaxation which is typical of the aperitif, in perfect Milanese style.
Whether you are looking for a place to feel pampered at home, want to experience a location “in the spotlight” or immerse yourself in a food and wine trip, Flawless has the right solution for every wish … cheers!
