La Belle Aurore
BAR
A local favourite, this old-style bar recalls the city of Buenos Aires with bistro
tables and ocean liner posters. It attracts a laid-back, diverse crowd from breakfast
through to
aperitivo
and late-night wine-soaked chats. There's outdoor seating on
the tree-lined pavement in summer.

Torrefazione II
Caffè Ambrosiano
CAFE, DELICATESSEN
Inside this
torrefazione
(coffee roaster) there's no seating, just the best coffee in
Milan. Stand at the wooden bar and try not to buy something from the retro,
sweet-filled cabinets. In summer there is pavement seating on Corso Buenos Aires,
where you can sit and watch the world go buy. There's another branch on Corso
XXII Marzo 18.

L'Elephante
BAR
The arty-alternative crowd here is as mixed as its killer cocktails: gay, lesbian and
straight, locals and visitors. The grungy interior is dominated by shades of night:
black, metallic grey and deep purple.
