Pavé

A pastry laboratory and a "living room with a kitchen," near Porta Venezia. The signature brioche weighs 160 grams, 100 of which are homemade apricot jam. Sit-down breakfast, the way Milan rarely does it.

Three friends opened Pavé on Via Felice Casati in 2012, and it became the Milan pastry argument almost immediately. The Brioche 160 is the dish: buttery, fragrant, filled with their own apricot jam and named for its weight in grams. The cappuccino is the other reason to come. The space looks like someone furnished their grandmother's living room with intent: velvet couches, vintage dressers, mismatched chairs, an open laboratory at the back. Lunch from noon (panini, soups, mixed cheese and salumi boards), aperitivo from 6. Closed Mondays.
