Best brunch in Milan
Brunch in Milan lives or dies on two things: the coffee and the egg. Roasters maps the cafés in Milan where both are taken seriously — small kitchens with seasonal menus, baristas dialling in espresso behind the bar, and the kind of room you'd want to spend a Sunday morning in. Milan is one of 144 cities with a “Brunch” guide on Roasters.
Booking is sometimes possible, often not. The rule of thumb in Milan: arrive before 10am on weekdays, before 9am on weekends, or after 1pm when the first wave clears. Roasters lists each café's typical wait times and whether they take reservations.
