Italian pop music, large windows which open onto a cute yard, and golden flamingos welcoming you in: this is how you step into L\u00f9Bar<\/strong><\/a> for breakfast, as we did for this week”s TBS Taste<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

This coffee shop is right inside the PAC (Pavilion of Contemporary Art) in Milan<\/strong>, and it is getting trendier and more popular with locals by the day, especially for breakfast (but also for lunch and dinner, so you’ll find some fish- and meat-based Mediterranean dishes on the menu, too). The venue is classy, but not formal; the location is smack in the city center (via Palestro 16<\/strong>) but also nice and quiet, especially by Milanese standards: this is achieved thanks to its position by one of the city’s best loved parks, Parco Indro Montanelli.<\/p>\n

TBS Crew’s Vincenzo and Martina (and Mela, as a special guest) ventured to L\u00f9Bar to try their breakfast<\/strong> \u2013 an excellent way to start their day. As you walk into L\u00f9Bar, you feel like you’re in a small greenhouse, surrounded by arches, glass, and plenty of green, which make the most important meal in your day even more beautiful.<\/p>\n

What did our TBS Crew get?<\/strong> For Martina, an americano and a smoothie with apple, carrot, and ginger; for Vincenzo an espresso and a passion fruit smoothie for an exotic twist. With the drinks came a basket of sliced bread, with butter and jams of different sorts on the side: from hazelnut to citrus \u2013 a really lovely combination.<\/p>\n

What’s the story of L\u00f9Bar?<\/strong> This coffee shop is the brainchild of siblings Lucilla, Lucrezia and Ludovico Bonaccorsi, originally from Sicily \u2013 and it shows on the menu. It took a lot of work, dedication, and commitment, but they finally managed to persuade the austere world of Milanese museums to open up to this unconventional project. Let’s be honest: such a cool bar on museum premises, in Italy? That’s quite the thing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our dear readers have been recommending this place for a while, and we clearly did the right thing when we finally caved in! L\u00f9Bar is definitely worth our free time. Our warning to the Bonaccorsi siblings: you won’t get rid of us until we try the arancini<\/em> with shrimp and pistachio. See you very soon!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
