La menager

Modern elegance

The French name of the bar is a tribute to the household items and furniture store that opened in 1896. From 2015 on, however, this exquisite bar in the center of Florence has built its own identity – a cocktail bar, bistro, store, and flower shop – and renewed it with the restyling work that ended in 2021. The same period saw the beginning of beverage director Luca Cinelli’s adventure: he coordinates the cocktail offering on the lower level and the ground floor housing the bistro. In the bar, cocktail mixing highlights quality products with exclusive techniques, the drinks are signatures only, and the menu – very well balanced in the choice of spirits – was designed to pair cocktails with cigars due to the presence of a cigar room. From 6 PM, the bistro serves a contemporary, less experimental drink list, meeting the needs of those looking for an excellent aperitivo in the city center. The flavors are delicate, and “Italian-style” twists on classics take center stage. The latest idea? The option to pair dishes with wine-based cocktails.
