7 brunch places in Florence we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Florence | Brunch across every city.

Brunch in Florence leans on the city's bigger, light-filled rooms rather than its tight trattorie. La Menagere in San Lorenzo and Santarosa Bistrot, set against the old walls in San Frediano, are built for long late mornings, while Ditta Artigianale near Santa Croce brings serious coffee to the table. For something more formal, the Atrium Bar at the Four Seasons in Santa Maria Novella does the polished version.
