Peck

This is not a wine bar… they have an incredible range of wine bar and yes you can try some. But its not a wine bar. If you want a wine bar go elsewhere… is what i’m saying.
If you are very wealthy and would like to pay over the top prices for select luxury products then do come here. You will be very happy.

C’est bon? Oui, pas de doute.
C’est pas cher? Euh… Si un peu, voire beaucoup.
C’est cool au niveau de l’ambiance? Un peu guindé à mon goût.
Conclusion: j’ai bien mangé mais j’ai pas du tout aimé les lieux.

I have tried Peck for brunch and was pretty much satisfied with my experience here. Peck is absolutely a high scale restaurant with premium Italian food– this is also reflected in the bill.
Brunch is served as a buffet and you can try everything from cheese to prosciutto to seafood and even sushi! They also have a very nice selection of desserts. So, if you decided to splurge on food once in a while Peck is a good one!

Our lunch was elegant but the waiters were kind of disjointed! Expensive but expected! I am a fan of Peck. I go there every time I am in Milan.

My wife had this place bookmarked and we were lucky enough to find it in the pouring rain on our first day in Italy. This was a much needed relief!
The service was beyond perfect. When we walked in, we were a bit indecisive about whether we wanted to eat here or not. The host let us walk around and see what they have, without any pressure. We quickly realized it was good idea, and they sat us immediately.
Probably the cleanest buffet I’ve ever had the pleasure to pig out at. All the plates and silverware were spotless and so shiny you can check your hair in the reflection. The tablecloths were immaculate.
Every item was carefully crafted, and seemed to consist of high quality, local ingredients. The prosciutto and other cured meats blew my mind. And interestingly, they seemed to bring out new stuff to the buffet as time went by. I’ve never seen this before.
At 60 € per head, it is kinda expensive. And at that price point, I would’ve expected a lot more choices, not that it would’ve made a difference because I was stuffed like a Thanksgiving turkey.

We visited this place during our layover. The restaurant was located on the second floor. There was a food shop on the first floor, where you can buy dessert, cold cuts, tea, pasta and other delicious items. There was also a school like area.
Because of it was raining outside, we decided to have brunch here. It costed 60 euro per person, which was very pricy. Food was very good. You can definitely sample a good selection of items that they offer from downstairs. The staff were very welcoming and professional. Definitely expect to spend more than 2 hours at this place to try everything.

Came here for lunch on a rec with regards to great risotto on the 2^nd floor (restaurant level) Was immediately given table with bread and a small, light tomato gazpacho (which was delicious!). opted for the Risotto Milanese and a plate of Spinach Raviolo. Ordered a glass of wine to go with the meal and can say it was outstanding. Ravioli was light not to thick and full of flavor, while risotto was unbelievable. Would highly recommend if you’re in the Duomo area.

This place is like Whole Foods on steroids! The have a most luscious display for all of their goods and a few things you can sample when you go inside. The range of food that they have is vast from fresh seafood to robust and fresh tea leaves and of course a wine cellar downstairs. Upstairs is their restaurant which I didn’t go because it is extremely pricey. It’s quite an amazing experience to even walk around the inside. Sorry I’ve got no photos to post – my phone was stolen.

So sometimes when you are eating bruschetta you feel like it is missing something.
You think … «damn this bruschetta would be so much better if I had balsamic vinegar …»
Then you are like, «fuck … I don’t have any …»
The sadness overwhelms you.
(Like when you overeat soggy pasta and cry all night because you paid 60 euro for it)
But suddenly you are like wait, and you totally remember …
«I’m in fucking Italy right now yo.»
(A small lightbulb appears overhead — like LED sized)
You think, «OK I’m gonna Google the shit out of this.»
You learn that Modena, (the city famous for many things including the birthplace of Enzo Ferrari who started a small car company of the same last name), is actually where balsamic vinegar originated.
Adrenalin surges. «Oh fuck, I’m gonna go to Modena and get balsamic!»
(A huge light bulb appears overhead — like street lamp sized)
But then it hits you. «God dammit, I’m in Milan right now …»
(The huge lightbulb explodes shattering glass all over you. Blood streams down your face. It is glossy. Viscous. A dark reddish-​brown. You taste it. It does not taste anything like balsamic vinegar).
You feel sad. Oh so sad.
Because you really had your heart set on buying a Ferrari.
You have forgotten your goals.
Your dreams.
Your bruschetta.
Then you remember the thing that is known as the grocery store. You connect this idea with the concept of «googling the shit out of things» …
And you learn of a thing called Peck.
They do not sell Ferraris — but they do sell balsamic vinegar that feels just as expensive.
They have many things in this gorgeous store — and the balsamic vinegar does not disappoint. From Modena even. Worth the $ 200+ bucks you will pay for it? I don’t know, and I don’t care.
My bruschetta tastes sublime.
And I just saved $ 249,800 dollars … and who knows how fucking much on car insurance.

Peck is a very high-​end specialty food store. A great place to browse, but the prices are awfully high if you’re actually going to buy anything. It looked like pretty much everything was private labeled (Peck brand). If there is something you’re looking for, I’m sure you’ll find it here – it seems like they have everything. From smoked meats, seafood, breads, and fresh pastas, to desserts, candies, and chocolates – this would be a great place to buy gifts for the foodies in your life.

Photos make it seem as though this is a gourmet market. It isn’t. It definitely is a smaller gourmet specialty shop which offers extremely overpriced goods. I was unable to find anything reasonable priced so I personally did not take advantage of this store but there was nothing to take advantage of other than them robbing you blindly.
They are located directly across the street from Ladurée, hard to miss with such tacky fonts and logos printed along their awning. The restaurant upstairs is full of older sophisticated clientele, businessmen, not a scene for younger diners unless you’re looking for a sugar daddy. If you land one be sure to send one my way. I’d love to eat fresh shaved white truffles for life. Put that shit on everything! haha ;)

The most beautiful, upscale food emporium in Milano. Just off the Piazza al Duomo, the store is on a small street Via Speronari.
The windows will make you drool immediately. The counters are organized by type of food and these are displayed as if they are jewels.
I was amazed by the prepared dishes with seafood and vegetables. The colors are so bright and everything is picturesque.
If you are looking to impress guests or a potential significant other with a meal in your home, you cannot go wrong with food from Peck. Just be sure you have a large balance in the bank to cover the costs.

Located on a side street about a minute walk from the Duomo, Peck is a good place to stop by to see and shop the various gourmet food and wine as well as dine at the restaurant upstairs. The wine selection is in the basement. The ground floor has the retail section with desserts, deli, meats, etc. The upstairs restaurant is popular with the locals as well as the tourists. The lighting is a bit too bright for my taste since it sorta reflects off the white table cloth, but a lot of businessmen are there so it’s a good place for office luncheons. There’s also free wifi; my waiter brought me the passcode without me asking.
I had a delicious house made pasta with pork sausage that the waiter recommended for lunch. The wait staff are friendly and speak English. The bread basket is nothing special, but the pasta is delicious. It came out piping hot, and the pasta was cooked al dente just the way I like it! I didn’t have dessert, but they have a cart that they push to your table so you can see which one you like.
I also took awhile after finishing my meal to sip on the sparkling water since I had a whole bottle. I like that the waiter didn’t rush me. Overall, a yummy, non-​tourist trap restaurant conveniently located in the touristy Duomo area.

High end (No joke on the high end, $ 6,400 euro a kg of truffles when you walk in) deli with lots of pre-​made items to choose from, fruit section, olive oil/​vinegar section, and a very interesting meat section with exotic fouls and their heads still on so you can identify what that bird is you just ordered.
Friendly service to match the price (I’m being sarcastic here), I learned from the rolled eyes that asking for recommendations is annoying. Got it. Minus 2 stars for that, but otherwise this store is a delight to browse and pick up some nice gourmet items.

This is the most beautiful deli Ive seen. Actually, deli isn’t really accurate. It is a higher end, more specialty oriented version of perhaps the Whole Foods (or Draegers) deli+cheese-counter+prepared-foods+bread. We had a number of the prepared dishes: ravioli, a baked eggplant dish, and a few others as well as something from the cheese counter, a Mortadella, something from the bread counter, some anchovy+caper stuffed pepper, and a few other things. They have a great selection of cured meats as you would expect in Italy. And a very large selection of cheeses from around Europe.
The only downside is that it is very expensive. Two people, with eyes bigger than their stomachs, can easily spend 80 Euros on dinner. Of course, it is central Milan and it is a very upscale concept.

Egalement restaurant, l’un des meilleurs d’Italie et probablement le meilleur de Milan. Incontournable pour sa qualité, et la simplicité de son service. Privilégier le midi, moins chichiteux (clients) que le soir. Addition en conséquence !

Atemberaubend schönes Feinkostgeschäft. Sensationeller Weinkeller. Allein wie die Ware präsentiert wird, ist einmalig und lässt selbst Harrods alt aussehen.
Wer alte «Berkel» Wurstschneidemaschinen gerne mag: an jeder Ecke steht eine, in perfektem Zustand, auch aus den Dreißigern.

Il vino… So schöner Weinkeller, tolle Auswahl. Und danach geht man die Stufen wieder rauf und kauft sich die passenden Antipasti dazu. San Daniele aber auch Culatello di Zibello…

Definitiv gibt es im Peck so ziemlich alles was sich der italienische Gaumen vorstellen kann.
Eigentlich fehlt nur die Café Auswahl, um fast sämtlichen italienischen Speisen dort einzukaufen.
Einen Wermutstropfen gibt es allerdings. Die Speisen sind überteuert. Der Parmesan, den man in ähnlicher Qualität im Laden um die Ecke für 10EUR/​pro Kilo bekommt kostet hier 25EUR.
Wer also keine Zeit hat und auf Nummer sicher gehen möchte, sollte hier einkaufen gehen.
Wer etwas Zeit mitbringt und sich auskennt, findet die gleiche Auswahl auch in den unzähligen Seitengassen beim Fleischer um die Ecke. Für den halben Preis.

Leider hat Pocahontas ja schon alles geschrieben ;) Der Laden ist echt Klasse, drei Etagen voll mit Spezialitäten, die man probieren kann. Kostenlos sind die Zubereitungstipps, die man an den Theken bekommt und die Tipps, welche Waren den Transport im Flugzeug überleben.
Alles wird liebevoll in Papier und mit Schleifen eingepackt und das Auspacken zu Hause macht richtig Freude, weil man an Hand der Form versucht zu erraten, was sich im «Geschenk» befindet.
So einen Laden hätte ich gerne hier, zumal die Preise zwar nicht gerade günstig sind, aber für die Qualität auch nicht zu teuer.

Si tu est voyageur gastronomique, tu as probablement visité les traiteurs de luxe chez le Bön Marché à Paris, Harrods à Londres, et le depatchika de Takashimaya à Tokyo. Donc, voir Peck — qui est bien plus petit — peut être un peu deçevant Tous les mêmes chocolats et cafés exotiques, plats chauds à emporter, hors d’oeuvres bien preservés dans l’aspic gelée Rien de neuf !
Bien sûr, chaque produit est de la meilleure qualité — le nom Peck est à côté de Cracco, le chef étoilé qui dirige le restaurant Cracco-​Peck ! Mais si, comme moi, tu né peux pas manger là, tu peux au moins prendre un plat à emporter et profiter-​en devant le Duomo ou dans une petite place sous les arbres.
Malheureusement, Milan est connu comme le Londres de l’Italie car le temps peut être bien mauvais. Mon avis? Monte à l’étage et demande un table au salon de thé.
C’est pas forcément bon marché, mais assez accessible, et on peut essayer les créations Peck sans les formalités d’une reservation de dîner La carte est naturalement plus simple, mais on doit bien profiter du cocktail maison ou une coupe de Prosecco avec un plateau de fromage, tous servis sur la vaiselle luxe Comme Discobitch chante, C’est beau la bourgeoisie !
Si tu es bien dingue, tu peux commander un café Kopi Luwak, dont les graines étaient chiées par un animal indonisien ! À 14EUR la tasse c’est vraiment fou, mais si on est vraiement voyageur gourmand, on doit le déguster !
Mais la meilleure partie est le peccorino alla zafferana (peccorino saffrané) au plateau de fromage. C’est si bon, j’ai acheté un gros rond en bas, oubliant les limites de ma carte bancaire. Oups
Le service, alors, n’est pas comme on souhaite pour un salon de thé au façon Ritz, les prix sont tout élévés, et on doit payer au caisse à la sortie (possible à table, mais avec un peu de difficulté). Mais si tu es vraiement gourmand, une visite chez Peck est un bon antidote aux nombreux restaurants médiocres de Milan.

en periode de crise, il fut voir les queux dans et devant le magasin pour les fetes de noel, c’est impressionnant
les meilleurs produits aux prix les plus eleves mais on se bat opour acheter

peck is a gastronomic delight in the centre of milan fairly close to the cathedral (duomo)
this is the delicatessan that sets the standard for the rest of the world — there’s just so much great stuff under one roof — and they will ship your order anywhere
… trading since 1883 peck is THE place to shop for :
— the very best of cheese, hams, wines from every region of italy & other parts of europe/​the world
— the best olive/​aromatic oils and flavoured balsamics
— fantastic selection of chocolates, speciality biscuits/​cakes

Ich müsste abschreiben, denn Pocahontas hat zu dieser Location schon alles geschrieben was es zu schreiben gibt. Für mich ist natürlich die Auswahl an Champagner wichtig und die ist dort reichlich vorhanden. Die Liebe mit der dort der Kunde versorgt wird ist einmalig, so etwas fehlt in jeder Stadt in Deutschland.

Stellt Euch Butter Lindner, Dallmayer, die Lebensmittelabteilung des KDW oder ein entsprechendes Geschaeft in Eurer Stadt vor. Und jetzt stellt Euch das ganze in Italien vor, wo Essen eines der wichtigsten Themen ueberhaupt ist und selbst der einfachste Arbeiter sich weigern wuerde, abgepackte Penny-​Salami zu essen. So, das Ganze jetzt bitte nochmal hochpotenzieren auf Mailand, einer Stadt des etwas teureren Geschmacks, und wir sind ungefaehr bei Peck.
1883 von einem Einwanderer aus Prag eroeffnet, begann der Aufstieg des Peck von Metzgerei zum Feinkostladen in den 50er Jahren und ist heute mit dem Geschaeft samt Weinkeller, der Italian Bar und dem Restaurant Cracco Peck eine feste Institution fuer Gourmets.
Als ich das erste Mal drin war, fragte ich mich, warum diese ganzen gut situiert aussehenden Herren, die die Kundschaft des Ladens ausmachten, so viele kleine Geschenkpaeckchen mit sich herumtrugen. Das Raetsel loeste sich, als mich einer der freundlichen Angestellten auf meiner Tour durch Kaesetheke und Salumeria geleitete, denn Castelmagno, Prusciutto Crudo, Culatello und Salami Negroni wurden jeweils einzeln mit dezent gemustertem Hochglanzpapier und brauner Schleife liebevoll verpackt. Etwas chichi fuer jeden Tag, sicher, aber die Preise sind ja auch nicht alltaeglich. Zudem muss dieses Geschenk an die Geschmacksnerven doch auch durch rituelles Schleifenloesen und Papierauswickeln gebuehrend zelebriert werden!
