Restaurant

Burbee is a great little hamburger joint that is open seven days a week from 12.30 to 15.30 and 19.30 until 00.30. Choose from a choice of prime Irish Angus beef, horse meat or the vegetarian option to put between your burger bun. As well as classic  plain, cheese or bacon and cheese burgers you will also find a number of specials on the menu, such as "Summer" with mint, lime and tomato or "All In" (tomato, iceberg lettuce, cheddar, bacon, blue cheese, aubergine, peppers, courgettes and onion) for those of you with a cast iron digestion! Otherwise why not make up your own from the list of "Additons" you'll find on the menu.Burbee is particularly well known for its selection of microbrewery beers which go down a treat. Choose from Chiara, Bianca, Bionda or Rossa - depending on what you choose to eat. Burbee's premises are quite small, so if you want to sit on one of the stools which line the walls, make sure you get there really early (preferably before opening time). Otherwise you'll be disappointed as it's always packed. Prices are really reasonable (approximately €15 for a burger, fries and beer).  

Eugenio Boer's latest restaurant offers informal dining in one of Milan's trendiest areas. As you can guess from the name, Fish Bar de Milan specialises in both classic baked and grilled fish dishes as well as more unusual ones which really liven up the menu. To start with we shared the delicious baked gratinated scallops, onion rings with curry and mondeghili del mare with french fries (fried Milanese meatballs). We also couldn't resist the Salmon Thai green curry soup with noodles which was unusally light and had a lovely tang of lime and ginger. To follow we sampled the Fish Tacos, insalata con baccalà (salted cod salad with mixed leaves, cherry tomatoes avocado, carrots and ginger) with a lime and honey dressing, and the famous Fishburger de Milan, which is made from 3 types of fish (red prawns, cod and mackerel), white onion chutney with star anise, lettuce, tomato and wasabi mayonaise. Simply scrumptious. The dessert menu is equally tempting, although we limited ourselves to only trying the delicious passion fruit cheesecake.Make sure you also check out the blackboard that lists the "Catch of the Day" which, although it varies, usually offers a selection of mussels (raw or cooked), oysters and ceviche (marinated fish and seafood). Fish Bar de Milan prides itself on its selection of natural wines. It is open for lunch and dinner and costs approximately €30 per head.  

Open first thing in the morning for breakfast until after dinner, Anche is part bistrot, part coffee bar, part wine bar with a Hipster vibe. Located in the heart of Isola, Milan's latest up-and-coming district, Anche is a few minutes walk from Porta Garibaldi station.Anche takes its food very seriously and all of Anche's suppliers are scrupulously chosen to ensure  that the quality of  their meat, cheese, vegetables and baked goods is of the highest standard and that producers conform to certain ethical guidelines.Unlike many other restaurants the ingredients take central stage at Anche rather than the chef. Often receipes are created thanks to the discovery of a new ingredient or the desire to try something new, such as Anche's signature piece: cotoletta alla milanese Sbagliata di Maiale Nostrano con mandorle e arance (Milanese "wrong" Pork Escalope with almonds and oranges). Simply delicious! The menu changes regularly depending on the seasons, so you may find anything from: cruda di chianina o fassona con fiori e germogli (steak tartare with flowers and shoots), tortelli di zucca con crema al castelmagno e polvere di amaretti (pumpkin tortelli with castelmagno cheese and a dusting of amaretti biscuits), beetroot canederli and ubriacone cheese with chocolate shavings, 8 verdure cotte e affumicate (8 cooked and smoked vegetables) or petto d'anatra con il suo fondo e ristretto al Balsamico e uva con purè di patate viola (duck breast with balsamic vinegar and grape jus and purple potato puree).On the dessert menu you will find mouthwatering dishes such as: budino di ricotta con biscotto croccante e salsa di cachi  (ricotta blanchmange served with crunchy biscuits and persimmon sauce) or mousse al cioccolato fondente con pere caramellate e salsa mou. (plain chocolate mousse with caramalised pears and mou sauce)Every Monday to Friday from 17 alle 19 Anche broadcasts live on radio.Anche is also open on Saturdays and Sundays for brunch, when in true American tradition sweet and savoury are mixed together in a very Italian way. Prices are very reasonable. Lunch starts at €10 and includes water and coffee, while you can enjoy a three course dinner for €30 plus or brunch for €20. 

"Things and cooking" is the motto of this Neopolitan  restaurant, temporary store and chic place hidden on the tree-lined street of Via Castel Morrone, ten minutes on foot from Porta Venezia. Gattò has two rooms as well as an outdoor area set up with tables and chairs in pale grey wood. The entrance area used to be a boutique, whereas now it is an area used for light dinners and aperatifs. Periodically artists and designers exhibit their work in this space and temporary sales of clothes, accessories and bags are held.The restaurant is family owned and the menu is typically Neopolitan, although dishes have been adapted so they are slightly lighter than traditional fare. The most popular dishes are the light parmigiana melanzane (made with grilled aubergines rather than fried ones), Neopolitan ragù, salted cod (baccalà) cooked with milk and oil, curry meat loaf (polpettone), tiramisù and pastiera napoletana at Easter!
