Flambo restaurant!
I am near St Armand's Circle and I had checked an old thread for restaurant recommendations and got the usual (Columbia, Crab and Fin etc.). Well, we stumbled upon an outstanding restaurant last night and I tried to add a recommendation to the original discussion and it was locked, so I decided to do this post. Just off the circle on Boulevard of Presidents is Flambo restaurant which opened at the end of 2025. It is owned by a father and son of Catibbean origin.
Every dish we had at Flambo was a hit. My husband is a bit sensitive to spice, and the chef/owner will tailor the spice accordingly. We had the corn soup (this was perfection ), pholouri (fried split pea fritters), lemongrass mussels (with the roti), samosas, beef stew and whole snapper. The mango dessert was like a frozen mango sorbet pie. Cocktails were excellent: the clarified pina colada was so good! We also had the passion and guava martinis. Service was amazing--the owners care deeply about their customers. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a true culinary experience in the area!
