Carmen from Milan

I am a proud Canadian Montrealer and I moved to Milan way back in 2009. Officially, I moved for school but I was just looking for an excuse to travel the world and shoot pictures. I am addicted to the ocean, I never skip breakfast and I rarely leave the house without a camera. If you are in the market for some new wall art check out my website for some fine art prints! In...

Crazy Cat Café Milan

Wine with friendly cats...

""Crazy Cat Café" Milan is definitely not for you if you hate cats or don't like animals. If you do, come here for an aperitivo, but don't bring your dog!"

Let me start by saying that if you love animals this IS the place for you! Cats are free to run around and jump on tables as they please. If you are one of those odd human beings that hate cats, I strongly recommend you avoid this spot! The Crazy Cat Café is a bar, bistro, coffee shop that just opened in the centre of Milan. This place is also the home of 6 wonderful cats, Mina, Bowie, Elvis, Freddie, Blondie and Patti that can usually be found napping on tables or playing with friendly customers. These adorable furry balls were all adopted from shelters or difficult situations and given a home where they could grow and play.

I recommend the café for an aperitivo during the week, as there is often a line to get a table during the weekend. You can enjoy a cocktail with an assorted array of cheeses or various finger food. The atmosphere is home-like and cozy with sofas, a piano and vintage wood tables.

PS- For obvious reasons, you are not able to bring a dog at this coffee spot.

Frizzi & Lazzi

Your favorite beer garden ever

"Frizzi & Lazzi" is one of my old-time favorite beer gardens in Milan. It's an unassuming, easy-going place that has become a point of reference since '82.
