Bar Flor - named after the Spanish word for flower as well as a term in aging wine - is described as the ‘playful sibling’ to Wildflowers, and will serve an ever-evolving wine list that champions bold producers and lesser known growers as well as a range of pintxos inspired by the founders’ favourite parts of Spain.
The menu will feature pintxos and tapas designed to pair with a selection of drinks from vermouths and wine to traditional Basque cider. Pintxos include prawn and Ibérico guanciale; Cantabrian anchovy; seafood gildas; and blue cheese and salt baked quince.
Tapas dishes will include holiday potatoes ‘bravas’ - a re-imagining Wildflowers’ signature side; mussel escabeche; and a calamari sandwich. Basque cheesecake (pictured below); Almond turron, and chocolate cremosa with macadamia and olive oil will feature on the desserts menu.
Bar Flor’s interiors – created by Hart – will reflect the spirit of Wildflowers with soft lighting and timber tones, while encapsulating the vibe of a traditional Basque pintxos bar. A large floral mural from artist Jo Faulkner will feature on the walls, while seating will include a mix of bar, high-top, and banquette options.
Bar Flor will open Wednesday to Saturday evenings, with capacity for 80 standing or 20 seated for a feasting-style menu.
