A True Hidden Gem in Milan – A Must-Visit!
Our family had the absolute pleasure of dining at Hoya Milano during our recent trip to Milan, and it was an experience we’ll never forget.
From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by Wafa, the owner, who instantly made us feel like part of her family. Her hospitality was heartfelt and sincere, and it set the tone for what turned out to be a truly memorable meal.
The ambiance at Hoya Milano is modern, cozy, and inviting—perfect for families, couples, or anyone looking for a warm and comforting place to dine. But what truly stood out was the food—every single dish we tried was bursting with flavour and beautifully presented.
Our son started his morning with freshly baked croissants—buttery, flaky, and served warm. He couldn’t get enough of them and declared them his new favourite! He also indulged in Nutella pancakes, which were fluffy, perfectly golden, and generously layered with rich Nutella. Each bite was sweet, soft, and pure joy.
My wife chose the Bonjour Marrakech and was completely impressed. It came with a delicious Shakshuka, where perfectly poached eggs were nestled in a spiced tomato and pepper sauce, rich with cumin, paprika, and hints of fresh herbs. The dish was served hot with warm bread on the side to scoop up every last bit of the sauce. She savoured every bite and loved the balance of spices that added depth without overpowering the dish.
I ordered the Club Sandwich, and it was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. The bread was lightly toasted, and the sandwich was layered with juicy grilled chicken, crispy lettuce, ripe tomatoes, cheese, and a flavourful sauce that brought everything together. It was hearty, well-balanced, and incredibly satisfying.
We also shared the Beef Tagine, and I honestly can’t recommend it enough. The beef was slow-cooked until tender and infused with Moroccan spices. The dish came with prunes, almonds, and a savoury sauce with just a touch of sweetness. It was served in a traditional tagine, and the aromas alone were enough to make our mouths water. It was rich, comforting, and simply sublime.
To drink, we tried their freshly squeezed orange juice—refreshing, naturally sweet, and full of flavour. A perfect complement to the rich dishes we enjoyed.
As a beautiful gesture to end our visit, Wafa offered us lovely Moroccan tea, fragrant and soothing, paired with gold-dusted dates that were not only visually stunning but also delicious. It was the perfect final touch that made us feel truly looked after.
The service throughout was outstanding—attentive, kind, and genuinely welcoming. You can feel the passion and care that goes into every aspect of Hoya Milano, from the food to the hospitality.
If you’re visiting Milan and looking for a place with heart, flavour, and warmth, Hoya Milano is a must. Whether for breakfast, brunch, or lunch, you won’t be disappointed. It’s rare to find a restaurant where every member of the family leaves happy, full, and already planning to return.
Thank you, Wafa, for such a beautiful and...

It's too interesting to miss out on... even if it's just to enjoy a simple coffee. In this well-kept location you can taste some Moroccan dishes, such as chicken or beef Tajine, Hummus, lamb Mechoui, Zaalouk and much more, but also their excellent desserts (baklava, stuffed dates, kataifi etc., which I will try next time I pass by here. Elegant service with an all-female staff at the front desk. Tables inside but also on the small outdoor area on the street. I had fun! A must try for those who still don't know...
