Ristorante Al Mercante, Milano

While we were visiting Milan last Spring, we ate here one night. This restaurant was mentioned in the Michelin Green Guide (not the restaurant guide).  It is centrally located and has exterior seating in Piazza Mercanti – just around the corner from Piazza Duomo.

Some of the fish looked as if they are ready to jump out of the ice, “frozen” in motion.

While the quality and choices of food were unremarkable, it was not expensive, and the atmosphere and service was good.  Perfect for tourist.  It was a nice evening out for us.

Veal – Milanese style in Milan !

Osso buco

On the other side of the piazza was a McDonald.  Coincidentally, two of our evening meals in Milano were eaten from restaurants that are opposite a McDonald (the other one being Savini inside the Galleria) – evidently, we were going to touristy eateries. Before our next trip to this city, we must get some restaurant recommendations from a Milano cognoscenti.
