Coffee, burger, gelato and panzerotti. Milan

Flower Burger

When you read about them, you want to bite into every burger. When you see the pictures, the temptation is even bigger. And when you try them, even meat lovers would like to have one more. Colourful, tasty, vegetarian, and interesting (in a good way). The burger “meat” is made from chickpeas, tofu or seitan, served with tomato confit, olive sauce, mushrooms and other great ingredients. Locals like to take them home or eat in the park, while others enjoy the crowded feeling inside. Viale Vittorio Veneto 10. www.flowerburger.it

Orsonero Coffee

Although, Italians are craaaazyy for coffee, they have their ways of enjoying it, and while espresso is good almost everywhere, cappuccino is another story that asks for more attention. So, if you are like me, looking not only for coffee but for good coffee, Orsonero is the name to look for. Drip coffee, V60, latte art and espresso. Coffee is king here, not disturbed by lots of food but a simple croissant is the thing. Milan must-visit. Via Giuseppe Broggi 15. www.facebook.com/orsonerocoffee

Luini Panzerotti

Panzerotti is the most famous street food in Italy, and it was famous even before the world got crazy about the idea of street food. Panzerotti – it is the true life of an Italian in Milan. Work and no time to eat. They say that there are no better panzerotti in Milano than at Luini Panzerotti. Freshly baked all the time (fried in oil I have to admit), they are filled with everything you can imagine, and not. Spinach and ricotta or pomodoro con mozzarella are the crowd pleasers. Via Santa Radegonda 16

Grom

I did not like their pistachio gelato, but the chocolate sorbet was amazing. It was like eating a chocolate bar – slowly melting in the mouth. A must after dinner, just as the locals do - no dessert in the restaurant but in gellateria. www.grom.it
