La Ménagère – Cupcakes, coffee, salads, aperitivo, flower shop, what else? In Florence.

 

la Menagere – Florence

This is how it introduces itself: a bunch of things, interesting, nice and a little vintage. But the place is much more…completely restyled, it’s very huge and you can enjoy every parts of your day inside of it: it works for breakfast, lunch, a simple tea with friends, very good meals – those which sound and taste a little American 😉 – even if the name it’s French and its business card says Florence since 1896 (?!)

Anyway, what I found most interesting was its internal design and weird furniture. In fact La Ménagère shows exactly how much the static and conventional things are changing, including also the restaurants that maybe are one of the most traditional concept we have – ore better, we had.

Now you can enter a trattoria and buy flowers, cakes, stylish chairs or pictures, things for your home and so on..it means to buy the whole experience.

Have a look:

 As you can notice, my pictures aren’t exactly based on their menu and meals 😁 maybe because I appreciate the sorrounding concept more than the restaurant. They got it.

If you are around Via de Ginori (near Cappelle Medicee and leather market of Florence) have a look inside this concept-restaurant!  

Lion’s Fountain: an Irish pub in the centre of Florence

I was hanging around, just off the office, so why don’t have a great beer-time in one of the best Irish pub of the city? 

Here we go: Lion’s Fountain is its name and it’s located exactly in the centre, in San Pier Maggiore square.

Here you are its famous ‘fountain’:

As you can see from these pictures, it’s one of the most international place because thanks to its position, its special beers and above all to the fact that it’s possible to watch Football matches, it has become very popular among the foreign students who live in the city. 

All the football supporters always go there.. before, during or after the matches, and this is its great fortune. 

Moreover, you can also choose to have a delicious brunch:
