Cracco

Milan, Italy

Located in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II – an elegant glass-roofed shopping centre dating back to 1877 – Cracco's interiors are equally as decadent, with hand-painted wall paper, mosaic tiles and antique mirrors across a trio of dining spaces and two private rooms. Carlo Cracco, who trained under Alain Ducasse and Milan's Gualtiero Marchesi, serves Milanese food with a modern spin. The menu is delightfully concise across the a la carte, plus there's a nine-course tasting option. Think salad of goose, arugula and caviar; veal with wild herbs and mustard; char with rice, spinach and turmeric; and a light-as-a-feather pistachio cream served with strawberry sorbet. The site also includes a ground-floor café (for breakfasts, lunches and less formal dinners) with an outdoor area, and wine cellar containing 10,000 bottles of mostly Italian and French wines.
