Florence - Firenze

The temple of the mythical bistecca alla Fiorentina, located in the heart of the historic district, very close to the cathedral. To the delight of the carnivorous, this former antique shop, opened in 1875 (now transferred to Piazza Massimo D'Azeglio), has become a dashing steak house with a chic brocante decor. Grilled over an open fire, seasoned with coarse salt and herbs, carved before your eyes, juicy and exceptionally tender, the local Chianina prime rib continues to be a Florence staple.

An address that stands out! The young owners have given it a quality identity, offering freshness and zero mileage raw material: a considerable asset in offering dishes with Florentine aromas. A culinary journey through local artisanal products, between delicatessen, meat and cheese... a delight! The place is bright and friendly, decorated with simplicity, with an open kitchen. Very nice and pleasant the few tables outside, on the charming square of San Pier Maggiore, next to the Arco di San Pierino.

Originally from Pavana, a small town in the province of Pistoia, in northern Tuscany, Savigni butchers work according to the oldest Tuscan traditions and provide the finest meat (including the famous and tasty Cinta Senese). A real family story, initiated by Fausto in 1985! You will have the chance to taste their products on the first floor of the Mercato Centrale. The opportunity to choose porchetta, a real treat, or beef tartare with truffles, just as delicious, and all nicely priced.

A corner of paradise, far from the tourist chaos, although located in the heart of the city. Brac is first of all a bookshop dedicated to contemporary arts, but also a table. Its imaginative chef is specialized in vegetarian and vegan cuisine. Relaxed atmosphere and good music. Sunday brunch is delicious (coffee, cappuccino, fresh fruit juice, pancakes, scrambled eggs...). Brac, born in 2009, seduces with its "library with kitchen" formula, and has established itself as a reference for all lovers of cuisine and contemporary art.

A new philosophy in the heart of Florence, in the ancient cloister of Santa Maria: Quinoa is the first "Gluten Free" restaurant in the city. Food specialists and chefs have combined their know-how to create a quality cuisine exclusively gluten-free. An ambitious project that allows to discover new recipes but also traditional dishes based on this cereal called quinoa, a flour rich in fibre and protein but gluten-free. In short, a charming place in the heart of history serving an innovative cuisine!

A classic of Florentine cuisine, located right next to Santa Maria Novella, a stone's throw from the cathedral and chic via Tornabuoni. This restaurant is a landmark for Florentines, over 130 years old and renowned for its famous bistecca alla fiorentina on embers and meats on its famous spit. First-rate meat at a fair price, with the same quality and expertise as our other specialities. A historic venue where intimacy and romance are the order of the day, as is the friendliness of the staff.

Since 1981, it has been the reference restaurant for vegetarian Florentines, where a relaxed and friendly atmosphere prevails. The menu at the complimentary rates is reduced to three or four primi and as many second courses (in addition to personalized salads and delicious desserts), but changes every day. Tasty regional and ethnic cuisine; fresh raw materials are guaranteed. Service is provided at the counter, after paying at the checkout. Also a wide variety of teas and herbal teas to finish the meal in a healthy way.

Here is a special address in the San Frediano district, for its quiet location in the charming piazza del Cestello, in the shade of the 15th century church of the same name, for its clientele of regulars and, finally, for its refined atmosphere. As soon as you enter, an imposing bar and a fish stall welcome you. The menu favours seafood products, such as shrimp carpaccio or tuna tartar on a bed of mozzarella. Courtesy service in the image of this first-class restaurant. As a bonus, the presentation of the dishes is quite exuberant!
