6 brunch places in Milan we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Milan | Brunch across every city.
Brunch is a recent import to Milan rather than a native habit, so the best rooms tend to be bakeries and cafes that simply extend into the late morning. Pave in Porta Venezia leads the field, its pastry counter and long communal tables drawing the weekend crowd. The Bacon Club nearby takes the savoury, sandwich-led approach, while Marchesi 1824 in the Centro Storico offers the more formal, pastry-first version.
The Bacon Club ★ 4.2
The Bacon Club on Via Lecco in Porta Venezia makes Milan's most generous American-style brunch: eggs Benedict with locally cured pancetta, thick-cut French.
OrderEggs Benedict with pancetta and house hollandaise
