    With invitation code 77660078527627

    The best cool and quirky bars in Milan

    Nottingham Forest for artfully prepared cocktails

    For several years, due to its surprisingly original cocktails, Nottingham Forest Milano has been on the most important lists of the best cocktail bars in the world, including the prestigious “The World’s 50 Best Bars”.

    The Nottingham offers the most advanced expressions of molecular mixing with more than 500 eccentric cocktails recipes. Here every single ingredient is chosen with care and the preparation technique is maniacal. Every time you order a drink from the menu, you never know what you can expect.

    For example if you order a “Feng Shui Stone” you will literally find river stones at the bottom of the glass, marinated in alcohol and aromas.
    When asking for “The Revenant” you will taste an ultrasonic extraction of oak in vodka served with insect eggs and pine resin.
    The cocktail “La Sferificazione” contains a special molecular liquor that is hard on the outside and soft on the inside.

    The café owners had the idea after visiting Neko café in Japan (neko in Japanese means cat) so they recreated the same atmosphere in Osaka but with the typical lifestyle of Italy.

    The food is homemade and tied to the traditions, those dishes unlikely to be found in sophisticated restaurants that depopulated in the city.
    Depending on the season, you can enjoy risotto with saffron and ossobuco, veal with tuna sauce, grilled swordfish, lasagna or the legendary Milanese cutlet.

    Risoelatte is spread over three levels and the feeling is a bit to enter the someone’s house particularly fond of retro atmospheres.
    Decor is atmospheric, with Formica tables, set up with red and white checked tablecloths, pastel green walls, a pantry full of pots with oil, jars and tea services even the clothes stretched between one floor and another.

    Beda house bar for the lovers of historic settings

    Bar Luce for a cinematic look

    Bar Luce, designed by the director Wes Anderson who wanted to recreate a typical cafe of the old Milan, has been one of the most instagrammed places in Milan in the last years. It seems to be on the set of a movie in the fifties!

    Bar Luce – Milano

    There are furniture in formica, old pinball machines, glass jars full of candy, the ceiling that recalls that of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, pastel colors and lights of course. The bar proposes a transversal offer throughout the day, from breakfast (with sweets from the Marchesi pastry shop) to a quick lunch (with cold cuts, cheeses, pickled oil and canned goods), to an aperitif.
