RISE live bistrot In Vimercate

08/02/2025: Stopped by yesterday morning for a refreshment stop after a walk in the cold. We were a group of nine people "a little bizarre" (with special needs)... as soon as we crossed the threshold we found ourselves immersed in a very welcoming and elegant environment. The food lived up to the context and the manager, to whom we renew our warm thanks, proved to be a true gentleman, attentive and generous.

07/02/2025: I went to Festina Lente for the €20 brunch formula, which included a savory dish chosen from 4 options (we chose a croque monsieur and an avocado toast), a mini yogurt with granola and berries, a mini cocoa muffin, American coffee or hot tea and a fruit juice. The food didn't impress us. The toasts were made with industrial bread, the muffin was packaged (Tre Marie brand), the portion of yogurt was small. Furthermore, by ordering avocado toast, we didn't expect to receive avocado toast but also salmon (which hadn't been mentioned)... luckily I didn't order it, as I don't eat fish. The choice between just two hot drinks is a bit limited; I would have preferred to drink a cappuccino. Teapots and cups should be washed better, as they are stained with tea/coffee. The environment is welcoming and characteristic, a bit in English style. At the entrance there is a very nice corner with books for sale.
