Flor

The hype is real on this one... does it deliver? Just about. The latest modern European offering in borough market. Some absolute knockout plates, others not quite there yet. Went a few days after it had opened so we’ll see if they can reach 5* level after my next visit. Interesting menu it must be said.

EDIT: post-lockdown visit here was great. ASAP pizza for takeout or delivery is silly good. Thin-crust, sourdough. A lovely baked pie with really interesting toppings sourced from local producers. Lots of other yummy bits and bobs and some class sweet things.

Although the setting is absolutely lovely and food is good, the price for a few small dishes (5 plus a glass of wine) was too high, even if the location is popular and around other restaurants are not cheap.
Maybe more worth it for an aperitif with a couple of dishes.

Good food (but pricey). Amazing Lardy bun... But bad service.

One of my pet peeves is when you ask if your food is still coming (after waiting 30 mins after the starters have been cleared) and the waitress replies yes without checking with the kitchen.

We were waiting so long that the other waitress thought we had finished our meal and she asked if she could clear our plates.

Finally made it to Flor.

Can’t say good enough things about how great of an experience I had in spite of all covid limitations. Highly recommend to sit at the bar where you can see the super talented staff in action.

Had a selection of recommendations from our waiter who was very proactive and attentive given we only had 1.5hrs to eat and we pretty much wanted the whole menu! Favourite dish was the scarlett prawn rice and my date loved the veal skewers (not in pictures but also recommended). Only regret is not having had time (or space!) for the tiramisu. Will have to go back!

Perfect for a date or to go in a small group.

Some of the best croissants in London. Incredible sourdough. Can’t wait for them to reopen indoor dining.

Love this casual spot in Borough Market. They have absolutely delicious pastries and breads, and the dinner/lunch menu which constantly changes based on the season is really yummy. Throughout lockdown, ASAP pizza 🍕 was the best pizza in town, I hope it makes a comeback at some point.

Very enjoyable experience.
This place is great for a date or dinner with someone very close to you.
I highly advise to try and sit at the bar to watch the cooks prepare the food as it is a nice attraction and is not something you often see.
The staff is very welcoming and attentive.
The food is diverse and delicate. You won't eat much yet you'll feel full.
This place is great to try things you wouldn't have imagined existed.
I didn't like all the plates we've tried. Maybe it would be good if all the ingredients were listed on the menu to avoid bad surprises. This didn't impact the wonderful dining experience and is only a way to improve it even further.
It' cost about £30 per person, which I think is reasonable for the level of attention given to each dish and the quality of the food (I had never seen a chef going through a few basil leaves to pick the right one).
Overal, Flor is a place I'd visit again with my best friend or my partner. The food is quite unique and so is the dining experience. Highly recommended.

We were first in line for their dinner service, had to then wait for a text for 20 mins once we ordered. Although the toppings and flavours were delicious, black bottom and over crisp was way off. £36 to pick the black bits off. Drowned it in garlic dip to mask the char.
