Eppol — Restaurant in Milan

One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Milan. The service here is AMAZING. I came in at 5pm on a Sunday desperately craving breakfast/brunch (don’t judge me, it was a long Saturday night haha!) and they whipped up an omelette (the best I’ve actually ever had at a restaurant anywhere in the world), bacon, toast with butter and maple syrup, fries and a salad. All for about €12. I still don’t understand how that’s possible. Their Mimosa and Bloody Mary is fantastic as well - you can tell they use freshly squeezed juice. And their fries are perfect. Hands down the best fries I’ve had in all of Italy.

Even if the food wasn’t amazing (and it is!) the service would more than make up for it. They made me feel so, so comfortable. An added plus is that the restaurant is on such a beautiful quiet street that you just want to sit there eating their amazing food and sipping mimosas all day. Everyone from the bartender to the servers are so friendly and funny! I’d honestly move to this neighborhood only so this place can become my official neighborhood "spot" - that’s how amazing the experience was. The fact that here has less than 4 stars is a cardinal sin. 5 stars...

I regret not reading the reviews beforehand.

Service was slow and servers weren’t friendly. Mind you the place wasn’t even that busy for breakfast. A few small tables outside and another table beside ours inside were occupied.

Once we sat down, after waiting 5-10 mins without being serviced I had to ask someone if we could order. She just walked off to to do something else, I don’t know if she didn’t hear us or what but I waited a few more minutes and asked other server.

After that, we didn’t receive our drinks til about 10-15 mins after. Upon receiving a bottle of still water, I had to ask for cups. It can’t describe what a horrible feeling this left me. Service was just awful. Seriously, I think McDonalds would have better service and I don’t even eat there.

Food was below average and over priced (I don’t mind paying for quality but this wasn’t it).

Bathroom was not user friendly, the toilet seat was missing and the sink didn’t work so no hands were washed.

Save your money, time and efforts…....

A friend of the owner recommended the place to us. He knows that we appreciate interesting bars and restaurants providing good quality and service but simple and easy by its vibe. We didn’t book a table and arrived at 19pm on the 27th of December. Almost one hour a waiter ignored us, then he explained that he doesn’t speak italian. We speak 5 languages, but he didn’t care. After we finished our food nobody offered us to order smth more.

Risotto with porcini was quite good. It’s possible to order a vegetarian version of many positions of menu. We expected to find there a long list of cocktails but we didn’t, and, of course, nobody was willing to tell us what they can prepare for drinks.

There were dirty rags scattered on the clean coffee cups. We had to ask to give us cups from the bottom when ordering coffee. Coffee was not offered as well, we had to come to the bar...
