Anastassov Journal

Inside Ralph’s Bar Milano for brunch: a secluded garden, dreamy music, refined Ralph Lauren details, gelato and one of the best burgers I have had.

Dinner at Gloria Osteria Milano in Brera, with Cacio e Quattro Pepi, peach sorbet and one of Milan’s most expressive dining rooms.

Courtyard lunches, Old Town seafood and waterfront dinners worth planning into a Dubrovnik trip.

A terrace above Lapad Bay makes sunset the time to book dinner at Hotel More.

Octopus ragù with creamy polenta anchors dinner at one of Dubrovnik Old Town’s long-established seafood restaurants.
