SweetBurger
Via Melzo, 24
In vibrant, trendy Porta Venezia, SweetBurger stands out with an unconventional twist: classic American burgers reimagined as squares. Flavours remain 100% American, featuring carefully selected beef, premium cheddar and three styles of chips: classic, sweet potato, and Frystyle (a mix of both).
The Lab – Unconventional Burger Experience
Via Pasquale Sottocorno, 5A

Tripburger
Via Emilio Cornalia, 8
A journey around the world without leaving Milan: that is the concept behind Tripburger, designed to showcase meats from Italy and beyond. There is an option for nearly every country: from prized wagyu beef to Australian kangaroo and Iberian pork, right back to the Italian Apennines with wild cervo. A genuinely unusual dining experience that earns its place among Milan’s top burger addresses.
Willy’s Burger
Via Lazzaretto, 3
When we crave comfort food, settling in with a great TV series is usually the first thought. The only dilemma is what to order and what to watch: Willy’s Burger sorts both out effortlessly. The menu is packed with fun TV nods, from Gomorza and Narchos to Breaking Egg, ending all dinner debates.
24 Burger Street
Via Guido Cavalcanti, 4
Craftsmanship and locally sourced ingredients define one of Milan’s standout burger destinations: 24 Burger Street. The kitchen relies exclusively on local producers, picking buns from Milan’s finest bakers and meat from trusted artisan butchers to give every burger its distinctive flavour.
FuoriFusto – Birrosteria
Via Silvio Spaventa, 19
Who said burgers have to be made with beef? At FuoriFusto, the house specialty spotlights pork. The surprises do not stop there: alongside classic dipper fries, sides include pomodorini confit marinated in green Tabasco or steamed peppers. Whether you are dropping in for dinner or late drinks with craft beer and cocktails, FuoriFusto always has the right match.
Billis Burger
Via Gaspare Spontini, 4
A thoroughly Tuscan character, refined flavours and an urban style that is purely Milanese.
