Getting There
INFO
It is not often you find a hidden gem like this. Le Flamant is truly outstanding, offering a warm and welcoming environment that is very well presented.
What really sets it apart is the atmosphere; the area is comfortable and relaxed with a brilliant vibe fueled by a perfectly curated music selection that hits just the right note. It’s the kind of place where you can truly settle in and enjoy the moment.
The staff are nothing less than fantastic—polite, attentive and highly professional. We tried a variety of dishes from the menu; the steak was out of this world and cooked to perfection, the pork chop was amazing and incredibly tasty. The chicken with blue cheese was also a hit, with the sweetcorn halloumi fritters were a particular highlight.
To finish, we had the cheesecake and the chocolate mousse with coffee which was an amazing end to a lovely lunch.
We also like the idea that the menu changes regularly keeping the variety
Highly recommended and well worth several visits; we will definitely be back.
