Throw on your most comfortable outfit for an afternoon of relaxation

Per leggere l’articolo in italiano, clicca qui.

Now that summer has arrived in all its splendor in the city, we can hardly drag ourselves through one work day, let alone one week, and harbor a single dream shared by all: that the holidays and study breaks come as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, the trick to not let the heat get you down is to turn your weekends into relaxation sessions, with some great food (and a lot of it)! Brunch is a “ritual” that arrived in Italy from America and has become a popular pastime all over the world. Brunch is now an essential weekend tradition in the Milanese capital because it satisfies both families and the most demanding of palates.

In our city, traversing a wide landscape of culinary offerings, these places that we suggest stand out not only for the high-quality food and drinks, but for the venues, including charming courtyards, gardens, and outdoor patios ideal for the summer season!
