The most beautiful restaurant in Florence!

La Ménagère in Florence is absolutely a haven for vintage maximalism! 🌺 Every corner of the restaurant exudes a rich retro atmosphere, from the intricate floral walls to the delicate decorations, and the warm, yellow lighting. 🪔 It feels like stepping into old Europe from a movie in just a second. Taking photos? Just press the shutter randomly, and you'll instantly get an Instagram-worthy shot! La Ménagère is not just a restaurant; it's a perfect blend of a café, bar, and home decor store. You can even buy exquisite tableware and fresh flowers here. The entire space is so large it feels like a maze, with different areas having various styles: the dining area is elegant, the café area is cozy, and even the restrooms are so exquisite you'd want to take photos and share them on social media! Every detail is designed just right, and even the menu 🥗 can serve as a decorative piece. Tips for taking photos and ordering: - Make a reservation by phone or through their website and arrive early! It's best to dine during off-peak hours. - Otherwise, you might not get a good spot! Arriving early also allows you to pose at your leisure without worrying about other customers constantly entering the frame. - The dishes are also top-notch, and the menu updates seasonally with random new items, full of surprises. 🌟 Recommended Dishes: - Wine-Braised Steak 🍖 Very tender and juicy, with just the right amount of rich sauce. - Pan-Seared Salmon 🍖 Aromatic and perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. - Risotto 🫕 This dish was the most surprising to me. It has a subtle spinach aroma, is refreshing and not greasy, and has a rich texture. Dishes to Avoid: - Braised Beef Cheek I found it a bit gamey, so I don't recommend it. - Chai Tea 🚫 I expected it to taste like milk tea, but the first sip almost made me gag. It tasted like someone just mixed two handfuls of mud with 500ml of water and served it to me. But after checking, chai tea is a medieval recipe that is good for health. I pinched my nose and drank it (as a Chinese person with no resistance to health remedies XD). Don't forget to try their wine! Even if you're a novice, the waiter will recommend the most suitable wine based on your preferences. Final reminder: Make a reservation in advance! This place is incredibly popular. Without a reservation, you might end up queuing outside, watching others take photos and dine. In short, La Ménagère is an absolute must-visit in Florence. It's beautiful and delicious, warming both the heart and the stomach. Average Cost: - 50 euros (for a full meal) - 30 euros (for afternoon tea) #CityExplorer #AestheticLiving #FlorenceTravel #Florence #HiddenGemRestaurant #Europe #MyMichelin #AmbianceRestaurant #Italy #RestaurantReview
