I truly believe that the best food in the world is in Thailand. I´ve lived in Paris, Bangkok, Milan, Mexico City, and Wisconsin (lol, that one is a joke), and I would still pick Thailand and Thai food every day over anywhere else. Luckily, I lived in Thailand for three years and had the time to explore all the amazing Thai food. The Bangkok restaurant landscape is constantly changing, so this is based on my past experience, but also my recent visit there. Many of these are local favorites that have stuck around for a long time. Here are all…

My Top Recommendations for Where to Eat in Milan, Italy The amount of places there are to eat in Milan is insane if you know where to look and book. Most restaurants in Milan do require advance reservations. You can occasionally get away without booking, but I wouldn’t risk it. Obviously, Italy is a food destination, but usually people don’t think of Milan as a foodie city. This is simply not true. Milan has extensive, amazing places to eat and it’s my favorite activity in Milan. Even writing this made me miss it. Here are some of my favorite places…

Ok, so sometimes, when you are in Milan, you crave something other than pizza, pasta and panini. While this country and city are very traditional in many ways, there are a growing number of excellent international food restaurants in all price ranges. The city has a thriving Chinatown in particular. So this is for everyone who needs a small break before getting back to their pizza, pasta and paninis. The below is a small subset of the options in Milan, but they’re my favorite places for international food in Milan. If you’re looking for more traditional Italian options, check out…

One of the best things to eat in Italy besides pasta and pizza are paninis and prosciutto, and these places have some of the best panini and prosciutto in Milan. Milan has so many good places to grab a quick panini or sit down with friends to have a large charcuterie board and several bottles of wine. This was one of my favorite things to do in Milan, and this is my list of my favorite restaurants serving panini and prosciutto in Milan.

Obviously, if you’re in Italy, you must eat pasta. Milan itself is actually less known for pasta and more known for Risotto. However, despite that, it has a significant number of incredible pasta places, and based on my extensive research, these locations have the best pasta in Milan. It is important to know that pasta is very regional. For example, if it’s a Roman pasta restaurant, you’re unlikely to find a pesto pasta because that is from Genoa. Most restaurants will focus on a specific regional Italian cuisine. My personal favorite is Roman cuisine with it’s Cacio e Pepe, Amatriciana,…

Based on extensive research of eating pizza over a period of 10 months in Milan, this is my personal list of the best pizza in Milan. Obviously, Napoli is the most famous place for pizza in Italy, but Milan has it’s fair share of good places. There are many types of pizza, but most of what you’ll find in Milan is either Napoli style or Roman style. Napoli style is thin-crust, and Roman style is more of a focaccia with toppings that you buy in terms of weight. Both are equally delicious in my opinion (but I’m sure Italians would…

For the past two years, my husband and I have debated what to do for Christmas. He cannot go to the U.S. because we are waiting for his green card, and the flights to Colombia around Christmas are expensive. So last year, we spent the weekend in San Miguel de Allende – see the post A Weekend in San Miguel de Allende – and this year, we decided to spent Christmas weekend in Puebla, Mexico. Only about two and a half hours by car or bus from Mexico City, Puebla is a large city that feels like a town. The…
