Tour Il Brellin

THE LOCATION

El Brellin overlooks the Naviglio Grande and the picturesque Vicolo dei Lavandai, where once the washerwomen came with their buckets and, kneeling on the wooden "brellin", rubbed the customers' clothes on the "stone brellin".

THE ANCIENT PLACES

Next to the wash house stood the ancient grocery store where washerwomen once stocked up on hot water, brushes and soap. The premises of the old grocery store, managed by Maria Bambina until the 1950s, today host the "El Brellin" restaurant and café which have kept the atmosphere of the place and time intact

THE ROOMS

In the pleasant atmosphere of the rooms arranged on two floors, in an 1700s house with fireplaces and coffered ceilings, El Brellin can accommodate up to 200 people, lending itself both to candlelit dinners and to splendid wedding receptions, corporate dinners and receptions private. In good weather, lunch is served in the garden, otherwise at the Cafè d'El Brellin and in the Sale dell'Oca on the ground floor of the restaurant.
