In a very trendy area of the city you’ll find Taglio, a lovely restaurant and wine bar which serves the best brunch Milano can enjoy every weekend. Their eggs are perfectly cooked and their juices are delicious but we especially love their breakfast cocktails. Nothing cures a hangover from too many aperitivos the night before quite like a bloody Mary.

When exploring a new city, it is nice to step out of your comfort zone and try meals that you might not have had at home. That’s why we love Otto. Otto is famous for their quadrotti which is an Italian specialty consisting of slices of bread in a box, accompanied by fruit, yogurt, potatoes and coffee. A unique brunch experience.
