Panattonin
In ancient times, the “Panattonin” was a small cake that could be eaten all year round. Hence the idea of the creators of this original eatery, Roberto and Andrea, who offer sandwiches made from panettone dough with the addition of honey and pumpkin. It is a street food in a gourmet key. To be picked up and taken away or eaten on the spot.
Panattonin can be eaten in both sweet and savory gourmet versions. Savory versions include with the schnitzel elephant ear, ossobuco and veal tonnato. Prices range from about 5 to 13 euros. In addition to sandwiches, you can also eat traditional Milanese first and second courses with tasty side dishes. See the menu.

Typical, small and cozy place where you can find homemade and excellent quality dishes such as cassouela excellent, stuffed pastas as well. Kind and helpful staff (which is not a given). You eat well and spend less than 25 euros per person. The price may rise a little with drinks. However, everything can be said but that it is expensive cannot.

Grouse
If you like chicken, stop by Grouse’s. Different versions of this meat seasoned with ginger, truffle, citrus, chili, with spices, or classic with rosemary.

De Santis
Another place to try is the historic De Santis sandwich shop, active since 1964 and an icon in Milan. Small but stylish retro venue has an endless list of sandwiches. But don’t think you are eating an ordinary sandwich eh. In fact. This is real art, a feast for the taste buds. Excellent creations with exceptional combinations. Just to give an example: the Nadia sandwich has Piedmontese meat tartare, sun-dried tomatoes, mustard, capers, oil, salt, and pepper. The Sheila has fig jam, gorgonzola and Culatello di Zibello DOC. Again, the Fjord has Norwegian salmon, goat cheese in wine, lemon and pepper.

Li-sei Deli
Delicious Korean place near the Dock. Truly a love. Run by Okhee together with her husband Kihyuk. In this lovely restaurant you will find excellent typical dishes from Korea cooked with love and passion. For an alternative and very cozy evening Li-sei Deli is the right fit. Very good bibimbap (the classic Korean dish with rice, vegetables, egg and meat). Definitely drop by. Prices from 10-12 euros per plate.

Mabuhay
Mabuhay is small but very cozy and we eat Filipino. We like it a lot. They are super nice and make sure everything is good and you feel comfortable. Very reasonable prices considering that it is located in the center of town. Super recommended. Prices 10 to 13.50 euros per plate. Appetizers 2-3.50 euros.

FUD Bottega sicula
If you want to taste some Sicilian land, you have to come to FUD, another among Milan’s cheap restaurants. Here Sicilian tradition meets contemporary style leading to the creation of something super special. The menu is really very inviting and varied. FUD is also workshop not only restaurant. It is worth spending an evening there, cheap and pleasant!

The Sidreria
Among cheap restaurants in Milan, you cannot miss this authentic Milanese trattoria that offers Italian food to eat in unlimited quantities. The menu changes monthly, and you can eat as much of what is there as you want. An encore, a trio of first courses? You can. Do we like dessert so much that we want to eat it 4 times? And go for four times. Paradise. 25 euros fixed price per person to binge as much as you want. 30 euros on weekends. Ah, also unlimited is the Cider that is tapped directly from the barrel present in the hall!
Where: arcangelo Corelli Street, 31
Alhambra
Among the cheap restaurants in Milan we also feel like putting Alhambra. You eat at affordable prices but you decide that as you pay according to how much the dish weighs. That’s right, because you choose the dishes from the counter, all vegetarian with an oriental twist, and then based on how much you have taken you pay. Obviously the more you fill the more the cost goes up.
Where: via San Gregorio, 17 – Milan.
