5 things to do in Milan this weekend

The weather is fickle, but our weekend schedule is contingency-proof: we kick off the summer with a guide full of events, venues, company, and music, ready to get the best out of Milan.

To Eat - Autem

Autem, the restaurant of young chef Luca Natalini, is Milan's first restaurant without a menu. "At Autem it is not the Chef who chooses the menu, it is the ingredients that do it," meaning the menu is ideally compiled day by day, based on the availability of products shown to the guest at the entrance of the restaurant, from a drawer hidden by the kitchen counter. With a semi-closed box, it is possible to choose from 4 tasting menus: the Carte Blanche, an "in the dark" route, and then Meat, Fish, and Vegetable, which take up the daily proposals according to the different categories of ingredients.

To Discover - Roamin' in the Gloamin'

On Saturday 27 and Sunday 28, the initiative will involve some young collectives and emerging projects on the Milanese scene committed to promoting sustainability in design, fashion, and music.

To Chill - Black Bear Coffee

Orsonero Coffee is a specialty coffee shop with a minimal design and an offer balanced between modernity and tradition. The café respects the Italian tradition of drinking espresso at the counter while also serving other methods of preparation, encouraging guests to slowly enjoy a specialty coffee.
