This is a lovely, spacious health food shop in central Milan with two floors of healthy foodie and…read morenatural beauty bits and bobs. We popped in here for a quick snack to tide us over till our dinner reservation. We ended up browsing the shop for some time. There were also a variety of tasters to try within the shop which was a really nice addition to our visit. The only downside is that it's quite an expensive shop like health shops often are. Also, a lot of the beauty brands I can get at home and they work out much cheaper there. Still, this can't be helped. - Staff were really friendly and helpful. We were so pleased this shop was open late and offered such a huge selection of healthy snacks for us to choose from. Stomach rumbles averted. (For now!)

Great little spot for a quick, light, and healthy lunch with fresh juices too! We were shopping at…read morethe Via San Marco street market and stumbled across this place by accident. It's a yummy find and a nice break from all the pasta we had been eating!

Fortuitous find when I overshot my way towards Universo Vegano restaurant…read more Conveniently near the Moscova Metro. They had a huge display case of vegan mock meats and cheeses. They had several soon to expire products at 50% discount. The sold dried goods including ingredients for baking and incense upstairs. Downstairs, offerings included ingredients for Halloween/Thanksgiving, gluten free and other special chocolates, the aforementioned refrigerated section, and a shelf full of non-refrigerated vegan mock meats (roast 'beef' slices, veggie 'burger', veggie 'roast'). The prices were higher than what I found for comparable seitan products in Germany (they had a similar sized lollipop shaped wurst for 2x the German price) and in the US; however, they feature unique brands I have not seen in either country. Buying the discounted products, though, made it a comparative bargain! Also, I was impressed they even had wurst of both types (straight and spiral).

Discovered Superpolo a few years ago after realizing that if I wanted real Mexican food I had to…read morecook it myself. (Then I realized that if I wanted to cook it, first I had to learn how, but that's another story...) So after some research I discovered there was a minimarket chain in town that had some Mexican products (mostly canned goods). I used to buy cans and cans of La Costeña sauces, beans and chipotle, sour cream (almost unknown in Italy), pricey avocados, etc. I also discovered they have lots of foreign products like curries, american, oriental, arabic and mediterranean ingredients. Betty Crockers cake, muffins and pancakes mixes, Colman's products, jams, sushi rice, lots of spices, etc. But what people mostly come here for are the bio/natural products, from beauty stuff to gluten-free foods, fresh fruit and veggies, frozen specialties,etc. Not giving it 5 stars because prices are a bit high (of course, it's one of the only places that has this variety so they charge you for that), and the last times I have been there I noticed they didn't have many Mexican ingredients left (no more salsa verde? c'mon, I can't be the only one who buys it!). The shop has been under construction for some months, while it remained open for business, it was impossible to shop with the dust, noise and the smell of burnt iron, hopefully it's over by now and they have more space and more products!

We had a late lunch here, and sat in the cafe area as the restaurant area was closed. We ordered…read morethe eggplant Parmesan and a caesar salad. Both were excellent. Service was a tad slow, but we came at an odd time. The desserts looked amazing!

De Canto was my favorite caffe in Milano on my recent stay…read more The location was perfect right on the Piazza Della Scala. I stopped in after looking at the Galleria D'Italia, a space with free exhibits owned by Banca d'Intesa. This caffe has a warm wood interior. You may order at your table any of the food or drinks and the waitstaff will bring it to you. I spent a countless number of times at de Canto because I had just window-shopped along the Via Montenapoleone or had visited Rizzoli in the Galleria nearby or just wanted an oasis of quiet in this mad, chaotic city that was away from the crowds. There is no copperto so you don't pay extra to sit or stand. It's copperto free! I enjoyed having a cup of tea in each visit. If you order a coffee, you get a small piece of Venchi chocolate - a nice treat! Tired from shopping, from visiting the Duomo, from your crazy co-workers or sweetheart who has been nagging you all day, stop by de Canto. You will leave refreshed and feeling very zen.
