The best restaurants in Milan for 2025

The best restaurants in Milan for 2025

Milan’s dining scene is booming, and we’re here for it. Over the past few years, the city has moved beyond classics like cotoletta alla Milanese and ossobuco (though you’ll still spot them on plenty of menus across town) to embrace a bold new wave of culinary creativity that’s made eating out a real treat, and an experience as interesting as visiting the Duomo .   To thank for that is a slew of new restaurants where tradition has been given a fresh update (ciao Creda, Cucina Franca and Silvano), but also food concepts that look past Italian cuisine and into inventive cross-cultural mashups. The only downside to all this deliciousness? It doesn’t come cheap. A great meal for two (with drinks) will run you upwards of 70-80 euros, which isn’t exactly budget-friendly. But follow our recs and it’ll be worth every bite. RECOMMENDED: Ultimate guide to restaurants in Milan This guide was updated by Marianna Cerini, a writer based in Milan. At Time Out, all of our travel guides are written by local writers who know their cities inside out.

The 14 best spots for shopping in Milan

Milan might be home to some beautiful buildings, Instagram-worthy sights and mind-bending attractions, but we can bet you any money that you’re (at least partly) here for the shopping. This is Italy’s shopping capital for a reason, and it doesn’t disappoint.  Here you’ll find plenty of luxury labels and world-renowned designers, but there’s plenty of boutiques and vintage shops alongside for more reasonable prices. Plus due to VAT refunds and transport costs, you’re likely to find some designer shops cheaper there. Ready? Us too.
