Ajoblanco Milan

Hip aperitivo & dinner alternative

""Ajoblanco" is the perfect restaurant to enjoy Spanish tapa in Milan. The ambience & decor? Trendy and traditional. Protip: better enjoyed with friends!"

I don't know about you but I love tapas. It's fun, social and yummy. Sadly, it's usually one of the most difficult cuisines to find outside of Spain, with good quality food that is.

Ajoblanco comes close to it. The ambiance & decor are perfect - trendy and traditional at the same time. Their aperitivo offer with 4 free tapas for every liter of beer or sangria (before 20:00) is a great alternative to the Italian aperitivo (should you ever get tired of it).

I recommend to stick to the simple tapas though as the chef's capacity leaves room for improvement. Make sure you come early or reserve as many locals seem to think this is one of the places to be in Isola.

Tip - best to enjoy the place with a big group of friends.
