5 GREATEST BRUNCH SPOTS IN MILAN
I bet you are hungry just by reading this post. Keep reading further, these are the 5 greatest brunch spots to try in Milan.
1. Ofelé. Coffee & Cuddles
Ofelé, Coffee & Cuddles is the place to go when a desire for sweet or savoury brunch kicks in. Hidden at a cosy spot at the beginning of Via Savona, Ofelé is particularly famous for its pancake breakfasts. I am eager to try the ones with maple syrup!
In Ofelé’s words, they are a bakery and bistro with a cosy atmosphere that resembles a grandma’s home, a place where everyone feels at ease. As the inside place is quite small, you might either need to wait for a bit or you can book a spot in advance. Children and four-legged furry friends are welcome!
Ofelé also encourages smart working so you are welcome to come work at Ofelé while enjoying a good cup of coffee and some delicious snacks. It’s best to give them a call to book in advance though.

2. Hygge
The word “Hygge” (originally Danish) is a well-known concept in the northern countries. Hygge means to take time away from the daily rush to enjoy time with people you care about (friends or family or even alone) to relax and enjoy life’s quieter pleasures.
And Hygge, a fully specialized brunch restaurant between Colonne di San Lorenzo and St. Ambroggio does just this. It takes on the concept of Hygge and incorporates it into their daily work. Hygge is the place to go if you desire brunch in a cosy cafe with a relaxing and international atmosphere.
Brunch at Hygge is served on Saturdays and Sundays, between 10 am and 3.30 pm. Brunch is available only on reservations, so you need to book in advance to guarantee your brunch spot.
