Caffeina In Lecco

07/10/2025: Great bar and delicious food, try the homemade vegan mayo!

06/10/2025: I started frequenting this brewery in 2018, when I moved from the Marche region to Lombardy. My husband introduced me to Herba Monstrum, and I have to say it's become my/our favorite place ever since. They have a wide, varied craft beer list, which is always a great discovery. For example, this summer I tried the Berries, and it's become one of my favorite light beers, along with Meile' (their famous honey beer) and Frika (hemp beer). Overall, they're delicious, and the medium beers are 0.5L and very reasonably priced. The place is very nice inside, but also in the Garden, which is ample outdoor space and is perfect in the summer. The aperitif is brought to you at no extra charge and consists of a platter with chips, olives or gherkins, spicy salami or other cured meats, and toasted bread to accompany it. The aperitif can change depending on the venue/cuisine, or the season: the last few times, they've had delicious stuffed crostini with fries on the side. In short: the aperitifs are always excellent! There are obviously many options on the menu, including homemade burgers, various fried foods, and homemade desserts. I've been addicted to the spicy fried food for years; I've never tasted that kind of fried food in another restaurant; it's so good! My favorite dessert: cheesecake with fiki or strawberries, or "stuffing," depending on the season. The menu also offers vegan and vegetarian options, including burgers. The atmosphere is familiar and relaxing, I feel at ease here, and the staff is friendly and helpful. My last favorite beer: Pedalo. Absolutely at the top of my list!
