Flores
This exciting bar and kitchen occupies a stunning grade-II-listed Georgian building at the bottom of Leicester’s New Walk, and inside you’ll find many more reasons to be impressed. While retaining the classic integrity of its home’s historic architecture, the interior of Flores (decorated by award-winning designers) presents an elegant, contemporary environment in which to relax, drink and dine.
Flores take inspiration from Spanish-born American philosopher, George Santayana, who said, ‘to be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring’; and they embrace this value wholeheartedly. The menus here are adapted to reflect the revolving seasons and make use of the finest, freshest ingredients all year round. From chilly January to joyous June, abundant August to indulgent December, Flores’ creative team strive to bring you a menu that reflects the year’s changing mood.
The pulutan-style fare encourages diners to choose a diverse selection of smaller plates, resulting in a collection of tempting tastes to share. Sample the likes of Skylark Fa rm goat’s cheese with beetroot, honey and mint; merguez sausage with Moroccan vegetable sauce and cous cous; or succulent mussels baked in a loaf with leeks, saffron, nutmeg and cream. Those watching the calories might opt for a super-food salad of broccoli, sunflower seeds, beans, pomegranate and Goji berries, or roasted spiced pineapple with burnt ginger crumbs. As well as specialising in this wonderful style of dining, Flores serves up individually selected drinks, seasonal beers and wines, sourced from all over the globe, bringing the world to your glass, your plate and your palate.
The informal atmosphere at Flores allows for a quick drink at the bar with friends, a lunch with business associates or an evening spent enjoying a meal in the stylish dining area. There are also tables outside, under the leafy canopy of the nearby trees, where you can sit and watch the world go by when the weather is warm. While the seasons come and go, you can rely on Flores’ commitment to bringing the world’s most engaging flavours to your table.
