Zion Lacroix is an avant-garde filmmaker, author and musician based in Milan. Known for his provocative blend of absurdism, voyeurism and the intersections of trauma and pop culture, Zion’s creative world is both unsettling and captivating. After diving deep into the underground culture of Milan, he’s shaped his vision around themes of escape, self-denial and society’s outcasts—all framed through a warped lens of 2000s aesthetics.

As someone with an insider perspective, he gives us the lowdown on the best places to have a bite or drink in Milan during fashion week — from the best fusion tapas and aperitivos to where you should have a negroni.

Great crowd, good drinks and delicious small plates. It's a cozy bar and a perfect meeting point to have some good chill time.

Amazing place to eat the best burger at Chuck's or a great katsu at Katsusanderia and take a wine from Enoteca/Naturale. It's a collective of incredible spaces lined up side by side on a sidewalk. I highly recommend it.

Very tasty small plates, a judiciously experimental menu selection, easy/chill mode, nice people and an isolated place, away from other places where can exist on its own.

The overall experience of the place and the pizzas are very good, the gastronomic best version of traditional pizza and a very good wine selection, the interior design is really cool as well.

Traditional food with a modern twist, a great experimental restaurant in zone Navigli. 

Great fusion tapas, cozy atmosphere, good wine, easy mood. It's perfect because it's in Nolo and after Silvano you can go to any bar around and meet nice people. Especially in fashion week it's full of creatives.

Great aperitivo, tasty and unique plates, good drink!

Milan's best paninoteca and it's also the first one ever.

One of the best bars to socialize and have a drink during fashion week, it's an old school Milanese bar with its famous negroni sbagliato.

Good place to go in fashion week, with very tasty wines and especially delicious plates.

One of the most preferred bars on Saturday nights. A good melting pot and meeting point for locals and guests.

Great small bites, traditional patisserie, cute backyard, a great spot for having small and quick meetings.
