Where the desert meets the ocean

Nile & Palms is a cocktail bar in Milan born from the meeting of two worlds: the deserts of Egypt and the coasts of Mauritius, the Nile and the Indian Ocean. Every drink on the menu tells this story, blending Mediterranean ingredients with tropical notes in a space made to slow down and enjoy the evening.

A menu between two worlds

Over 30 drinks on the menu, from classic mixed drinks to six signature creations born from the meeting of the Egyptian desert and the coasts of Mauritius. Alongside them, a food menu built for sharing: gourmet bruschette, cured meat and cheese boards, toasts and salads, with build-your-own options for both salad and sandwich. Every afternoon, aperitivo with a spritz or a glass of wine plus a mixed board for €12.
