Milan Fashion Week kicks off today in Italy’s fashion capital.

Da Vittorio Café Louis Vuitton
For those on the ground, we’ve put together a guide of the best places to organise breakfast meet-ups across the city.
Marchesi 1824

Founded in 1824, the Milanese pastry institution remains a classic stop for coffee and breakfast, with locations including Via Monte Napoleone and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Its elegant setting and traditional pastries make it a natural address during fashion week.
Andrea Aprea Caffè Bistrot

Located inside the Fondazione Luigi Rovati on Corso Venezia, Andrea Aprea Caffè Bistrot serves breakfast in a contemporary museum setting. The venue also offers a dedicated ‘Breakfast at the Museum’ experience.
Sant Ambroeus

The historic Milanese café and pastry shop on Corso Giacomo Matteotti dates back to 1936 and returned to its original Milan location in 2022. Breakfast begins early, with an offering rooted in Italian tradition alongside international and healthy options.
Da Vittorio Café Louis Vuitton

Inside Louis Vuitton’s Via Monte Napoleone flagship, Da Vittorio Café offers a polished morning stop with desserts, coffee and Italian-inspired creations. The café opens from 9am daily, placing it directly within Milan’s luxury shopping district.
Armani/Caffè

Located on Via Croce Rossa in Milan’s Quadrilatero della Moda, Armani/Caffè brings Giorgio Armani’s aesthetic to a sleek all-day dining setting. Start the morning with Italian coffee and breakfast before heading to the day’s shows and appointments.
