If your head starts to spin thanks to all the designer stores, them you should drop in for a drink. Theres a cocktail that fits to the new shoes bought in Quad d'Oro at Sans Egal. Ambience is the main attraction here: Stools in leopard-print, ruffled fabrics on the ceiling and bamboo look suspiciously African, and actually are.

The expectations are accordingly high - cous cous or tajine. So what's on the menu? Then comes the disappointment. Instead of finger-food, spaghetti appears on the cards. Tyroler speck acts as if it fits to the decor and sits snugly in between gnocchi and steak on a menu that is out of touch with it's surroundings. Not to worry however, as the warm service and the cute terrace with a great view make it all worthwhile.

Apropos the view: the fantastic shopping paradise of Brera doesn't leave you much time to sit down. Your credit-limit was hard earnt, so go and spend it!
