This place was an adorable, they so had so many cute items. I could easily see bringing someone visiting to the store to get an Instagram photo and my daughter would've loved it! The food was pretty good, we came around brunch and missed out on a few things I would've liked to try but overall it was pretty good. The service left much to be desired but I think she was just very busy and we were not moving very quickly that morning. I would definitely come again, maybe early enough for a chocolate croissant next time. read more

La Menagere is a restaurant, a bistro, the perfect place for tea, a drink, a business breakfast, a romantic dinner! It is a garden, an emporium of beautiful things, and a library with more than a thousand books. Must visit on Firenze! I ordered breakfast- delicious! Service was prompt. The ambiance of the room was the best thing about this venue read more

The ambiance was top tier. Very beautiful and full of cute items you could buy. The food however was alright. A French Italian fusion can be a difficult sell, especially when the portions are very small. But I will say the assorted bread basket was really good. And it was warm which is not very common in this region of Italy so that was a nice surprise. And although the hostess was amazing, the server wasn't nearly as attentive. read more

Tucked away in the heart of Florence, Menagerie is pure magic--a hidden gem where books, jazz, and craft cocktails blend into an unforgettable experience. Recommended by our ex-pat friends, we stepped inside and were instantly enchanted. The space is overflowing with flowers, shelves stacked with books for sale, and one of the most stunning bars we've ever seen. The intimate piano room exudes old-world charm, while the underground jazz club keeps the night alive until 2 AM. The pianist played "Love of my Life" while we dipped our Aperole Sprit. The atmosphere was completely enchanting. Then we hit the jazz bar in the basement for two hours of amazingly talented musicians. Song after song of the set was better than the next. Whether you're here for a quiet read, a cocktail, or live music, Menagerie is a must-visit.

I came to this location after getting drinks at the Rome location 2 days prior. The space is a bit different than the Rome location, it's a bit more cramped in terms of layout instead of an open atmosphere. The drinks were made slightly differently, but still solid. If you order drinks, they also bring out some light bites for free, which is awesome, we did order additional small bites since we didn't know that they did that beforehand. The servers and bartenders were not as engaging but this is still a very solid, classy cocktail bar. read more

I was visiting my aunt while we were in Florence and we decided to grab breakfast here. This place is so cute and colorful. If I lived locally, I'd come for their little workshops or just go shopping in their store. We were seated by this beautiful flower wall. My cappuccino and croissant were great! I was hoping to come back one last time before I left, but wasn't able to make it back. I'll definitely visit next time I'm in Florence! read more

I loved visiting La Menagere while in Florence. It's an interesting concept being a bar/restaurant but also a boutique & flower design store. The atmosphere is so dreamy & I loved every bit of this place. I enjoyed a glass of wine & a salad, which was fresh. Just stop in here to enjoy the design & ambiance.

Very cute place, but disappointing customer service. We understand there can be a language barrier, but when we politely asked our server for butter, she went over to a coworker and very obviously began making faces and talking about us. It felt extremely unprofessional and uncomfortable. We brought it up to the hostess, who was very kind and apologetic. They even offered to cover our meal, but we ultimately decided to leave. A very unfortunate experience at an otherwise lovely spot. read more

This place was so peaceful and quiet even though they were busy. Service was polite. We ordered avocado toast, the ravioli, a pasta dish, and a burger. Not expecting the burger to be the best item, but it was done very well. I would definitely recommend going and staying for awhile. read more

We truly wish the food lived up to the setting here. Located a stone's throw from the chaos of Florence but charmingly removed from the hubbub, it felt like dining in a well-appointed restaurant version of Anthropologie. Sadly, the service was very spotty and the food was more inventive than tasty. The vegetarian salad and its almond-based Gorgonzola cream were intriguing on the menu, but left me dissatisfied (and still hungry). The food is style over substance and ultimately the glamorous brunch vibes can't overcome disappointed dishes. read more

I live in the neighborhood. I wanted to like this place. That's why I came back here twice. I wanted to see if it had improved since my first visit about four years ago. HORRIBLE. The ambience is nice, which is why I gave it two stars instead of zero. But the food is not only "nothing to write home about," (and it should be, due to high prices), the food is not good at all. I ordered a hamburger, medium-rare. It was barely pink at all, and instead it was dry and without spices. It was overloaded with mayo. The "sweet potato fries," as described on the menu, were "regular" fries and were way over done, and were cold. I will not be back. The service was not attentive at all. Had my waiter asked how everything was, before it came time for the bill, I would have told him about the quality of the food while they still could have at least replaced the meat or fries. As a side note, the waiter brought a bottle of San Pellegrino water to my table, which I had requested, and he didn't even bother to twist it open. I had to call him back to do this for me, as I have trouble with my hand. If you must go to see what La Menagere is all about, OK. Walk by to look appreciate the atmosphere. But do not go for the service or the food! read more

We had a limited but pretty awesome experience at La Ménagère in the middle of walking back to the center of Florence from where we ate dinner. Honestly, we just had Limoncello, but the overall atmosphere and vibe of this place were fantastic. We were seated in the bar area and watched the incredible amount of skill and artistry going into the cocktails being made. Had we been more sensible people we would have ordered one of those instead of the basic Limoncello we got. But the Limoncello was cold and gave us exactly what we needed that night. The food that we did see come out had a similar sense of artistry as the cocktails we saw being made. AKA it looked phenomenal and there are many vegetarian options on their menu as well. Being here, and seeing what we saw, made us wish we were in Florence longer to get the full experience of La Ménagère. It has a wonderfully casual yet upscale funky look about it. It was comfortable and felt nice. It truly looked and felt exceptional to be in that space. read more

I started my day here 7 out of 10 days when in Florence. Allow me to set the scene: You are walking the cobblestone streets of Florence, you look to your right and see a beautiful but likely overpriced coffee shop and notice 5'10 (178cm) Mexican-American 5 months overdue on a haircut sitting outside at a marble table in a wicker chair drinking a large French press coffee between bites of his plain croissant, pounding into his 2018 MacBook keyboard working hard on writing yelp reviews that are likely never to be read by anyone... Hahahahahaaha what a brutal run-on sentence that was. But actually this was head and shoulders the most beautiful restaurant or coffee shop I went to when I was in Italy. I'd have to say it feels like you are in a boujee rainforest café almost, it's honestly awesome. I just felt surrounded by creativity in there. It's also a fantastic place to sit for an aperitivo and people watch as it is located just down the road from the Basilica de San Lorenzo. It pains me to only give 4 stars here but as others have mentioned, the portion sizes at dinner are microscopic. What is this... dinner for ants?!?! Nonetheless, I will always have a major soft spot for this place. read more

While the ambiance and vibe were both very nice and welcoming, the culinary experience left much to be desired. First, portions of the menu were unavailable for some reason which made for a frustrating ordering volley. Second the food that was served was well presented, however lacked flavor and begged for salt. I was rather underwhelmed to say the least as was my spouse. Additionally, it was difficult to gain our server's attention even when waiting overlong for our check and the opportunity to leave. All told, I'd spend my money elsewhere in Firenze for a better experience. A cute place to be sure, just not the best restaurant in town. read more

Very classy cafe, with nice music playing, and relaxing vibe. My daughter loved that they have a variety of iced coffee drinks. We each had an iced latte, and it was lovely. The food looked really good, too. They have indoor and outdoor seating. It was raining pretty heavily, but our table on the top patio was very well protected. Nice spot! read more

Amazing ambiance for some cocktails with friends. Intricate floral setting, fun dejours, adventurous cocktails.

If you're looking for ambiance, this is the place for you. If you want literally anything else, look elsewhere. The food and service are beyond lacking. 2 weeks in Italy and obviously service is just different in Europe, but this service and food quality was truly pitiful. Would honestly never recommend to anyone. Really poor. read more

Food is good. I know there are some people on here complaining but we had no problems with the food at all and thought all of their egg dishes and avocado toasts were actually very good. The mochachinos are also amazing and we came back for them every morning. Also the shop is expensive but to die for!! However, the staff that serves you food (not the staff in the shop) are clearly over it. Just plain old rude and seem like they hate their jobs. They might, and the service industry is rough, but it's slightly annoying to pay the higher prices here to be treated poorly. Overall, I'd go back, but just be prepared for rude staff. read more

Overpriced, very small portions, service was lacking. Avocado toast was 15 euros for half a bagel and avocado. Eggs Benedict was half an english muffin with one under cooked egg. read more

La Menagere is the perfect choice to celebrate my wife's birthday while we are in Florence. We were surrounded by beautiful arrangements of flowers and elegant decor. The French/Italian cuisine experience was like being in a Michelin-star establishment. The service and food were perfectly executed. We just couldn't get over the sauces and how they blended with the meat. This was one of the most amazing dining and celebratory experience to partake in Florence. read more

We had two lovely meals here a few weeks ago in Florence. We did the tasting menu (mostly) as a big group. It was nice seafood tasting but really not 7 distinct courses. If I recall they served it more as 4--the first three dishes, then the ravioli, salmon and dessert. That said for 100 euros the food was quite nice and I would definitely go there again. I stopped by for breakfast one day as well and have the poached egg and hummus which was excellent. Just the right amount of food to start you on your day, with a coffee of course! read more

A larger cafe/restaurant/bar with a beautiful ambiance! It is super busy and popular, but I love going there first thing in the morning for a quick cappuccino at the bar or a mid-day snack. It has a gift shop, tons of seating options, great spot to study or socialize. Not your traditional cafe but still a fun option! read more

La Ménagère is the most beautifully decorated restaurant I have ever visited. It doubles as a restaurant and store, offering home decor, flower arrangements, and more. I believe they also have a community table and a more upscale restaurant on the side, though I am not certain. The decor alone is worth a visit, even if you don't stay to eat. Our server was exceptionally kind and helpful, explaining unfamiliar items like the pink latte and even offering to take a group picture. The food was very good, though not extraordinary. It was beautifully presented and a refreshing change from the typical Italian cuisine we had been eating. I especially enjoyed the sweet potato fries and the truffle burger, which was the highlight of our meal. However, some dishes felt overpriced for the portion sizes. While the iced coffees were good, the pink latte was aesthetically pleasing but lacked flavor. Overall, I would return for the excellent service, stunning decor, and a break from Italian food. read more

La Menagere? More like La MeNOgere! Do NOT come here unless you'd like to eat overpriced, poor quality, lousy portions of food. My €17 salad came out of a bag and I'm pretty sure the chicken was microwaved. My friend got the avocado toast with salmon and she said "it tasted like I was eating the ocean floor." It's hard to even call it avocado toast though because she got 10% avocado and 90% salmon on a bagel. Her gagging on her food really set the ambience for the meal. If you want a gourmet meal for a mouse, order the banana bread. Only okay quality stuffed into a mini container. Florence has so many awesome food places, and after 2 1/2 months of living here, I can say this is our least favorite meal we've ever had. read more

We very much enjoyed brunch at La Menagerie. The surroundings are beautiful. Service was professional. Would return for dinner.

We came for dinner on recommendation of my sister-in-law. First of all, the ambiance of this place is amazing. A+. Really nicely done, with a shop and floral display. So I had high hopes for the food. We had some cheese, which was good. (But, it's Florence. The cheese is always good.) We didn't get fancy drinks, just some spritzes. After sucking down Aperol, Campari, and limoncello spritzes all week, I was a little disappointed at how much ice and how little spritz there was. Then came the entrees. Now, I've been to plenty of "tiny food" places and the exquisiteness of the tastes usually justifies the small portions and high prices. This is not one of those places. I actually had to suppress a snort of laughter when they set the dishes down. I kinda felt like we were being punked. Now, the bucatini was good. But again, it's Florence, so pasta had damn well better be good. My daughter claimed the duck tasted like pork, but she liked it. The teeny-tiny ravioli were obviously hard to make, but the super puréed pesto was a weird texture, and the taste was not improved by the puréing. There were zero eye-rolling groans of joy or loving invitations of "you have to try this!" like happened regularly while dining in this city. I didn't bother with dessert, because I couldn't handle more disappointment. In a city where you can't swing a cat without hitting 2 or 3 great restaurants, I'd say come here for a drink to admire the ambiance and then go get food someplace else. read more

A lot of brunch places in the world look like this but I believe this concept is new to Florence. We arrived on the train on a weekday morning and it was busy, but a group happened to be leaving so we grabbed their table by the entrance, part inside, part outside. The only downside is you could smell the smoke. They have a nice selection of pancakes, including vegan options. When you order coffee, they are willing to have a conversation about how you want it prepared (if you're like me who doesn't know that much about coffee). The bathroom is decent, which I appreciated, and in the back. There are additional dining rooms, which I assume are open to guests for dinner. The shop area was filled with fun and unique knicknacks. read more

The ambiance is superb. The place pops. You can't take your eyes away from it when you walk by. But do yourself a favour, and keep it that beautiful gem you wonder about when you get home from your dream Italian vacation. The food was passable at best for the cost, and down right mundane at worst - save for the cocktails which had presence, but personally, I would have rather a Campari Spritz which would have set me back 10 euro less. The service is the kicker. I'd almost recommend it for the ambiance alone if the service wasn't so poor and unwelcoming. I expect this is not the standard the owner would expect of their service staff, but it really made us regret the visit. Check the place out for its beauty! Buy a book. Sample the overpriced cocktails. But I can't recommend anyone submitting themselves to anything more. read more

Checked out this place on a friend's suggestion and at first glance it is a beautiful locale, if you're into spots for social media picture purposes, this place is for you!!! decoration gets an A+ and my only reason for 2 stars, otherwise 1 star is more appropriate. We had Aperols and cappuccinos, they were good, overpriced (expected because of the place) but nothing special. A friend had the tiramisu and loved it. Service was lackluster, indifferent and they seemed annoyed when trying to get their attention.

Nice atmosphere. Hostess kindly got a table for my group of 6. But a *BIG DISAPPOINTMENT* Got a 13$ espresso martini which was well worth the price. We ordered 2 ceviches and 2 cheese plates which the waitress said would be enough for all of us, but there was only enough for a bite of each. The waitress didn't tell us the portions were small, and if our group had known that, We would have just ordered our own appetizers I Got the ravioli as a main and DAMN, 8 pieces? It was obviously homemade, which should be a given in Italy, but had NO TASTE. It was as if the goat cheese and sun dried tomatoes were just present so the dish had some color. Such a disappointment. My other friends felt that their dishes were small and tasteless too. Splitting the bill into 6 came out to $62 each. This was the BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT of my 3 days in Florence. I got pasta at other restaurants that were good, if not much better, for a quarter of the price. NOT WORTH THE PRICE read more
