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...

The Botanical Club Milan

Refreshing experience!

""The Botanical Club" Milan has a restaurant and a drinking area, which is one of the first distilleries in Milan. I recommend the Oyster Complete cocktail."

It was a random Saturday night and I was meeting some of my best friends for drinks and some food. We went to Isola, one of the nicest and most upcoming areas of Milan, full of hip bars, restaurants and coffee shops...The Botanical Club is divided into a green bar area and a separate area dedicated to a fine dining restaurant experience.

The drinking area is one of the first distilleries in Milan. The cocktail selection is great and you can drink unique drinks that you will not find elsewhere around town. I personally recommend trying the Orange Spell or the Oyster's Complete cocktail that is actually served along with an oyster. If you sit by the bar and get hungry you can still try their menu. Every dish is fresh, organic and based on natural ingredients selected and cooked right from your backyard garden. I tried the vegetables dishes and they were really good even if a little pricey.
