Flamant
5-Course Live-Fire Iberian Tasting Event
This brand new Granite Park bistro (it opened in June) has jumped right onto Eater’s List of “Essential Restaurants in Plano” as well as its List of “Hottest New Dallas Restaurants.” Flamant, which means “flamingo” in French, comes to us from the Michelin and James Beard-recognized team behind Rye and Apothecary in Dallas. Chef/Owner Taylor Rause, who also serves as Executive Chef at Rye, is bringing with him just what made that spot so special, with a menu rooted in the culinary traditions of Portugal, Spain, France, and Italy. We're talking bold, seasonal flavors, brought to life over open flame — from wood-fired wagyu and octopus, to delectable housemade pasta, to a decadent crème brûlée cheesecake. All to say, we seriously cannot wait to visit here and chat with Chef Rause once more. We hope to see you there!
