La Ménagère
Florence, Italy
Arguably Florence’s hottest spot at the moment, this former cleaning equipment shop is now the site of a cocktail bar and a lauded restaurant as well as a florist’s. Arched ceilings and an industrial facade give way to walls of artwork, soft lanterns, long sharing tables and hanging plants. Downstairs in the brick- walled cellar, jazz musicians play to guests who lounge on velvet sofas and nibble seasonal dishes while choosing from a colourful selection of cocktails.
