Weekend Grub: Flemish's special dessert is the best thing on its menu
It was over a cup of tea after dropping off their children at school that four women named Zainab Jafri, Maryam Faisal, Binish Khurram and Seham Merchant decided to start a restaurant.
After spending their mornings drinking coffee at different cafes, they wanted a place of their own where they could introduce new ideas for culinary feasting.
And so Flemish was born in May 2016. Flemish refers to any of the varieties of the Dutch language spoken in Flanders, the northern part of Belgium.
Where to go
Located in a quiet neighbourhood of Clifton in a two-story building, Flemish has managed to occupy a good lively place downstairs; the upper portion is given to pensive thinkers to display their art, in a gallery space called Spaces.
With plenty of space for parking, the restaurant offers three different seating areas for its customers. One may sit in the garden area at night to enjoy pleasant weather or perhaps sit inside for a more cosy experience. With ample space outside, Flemish has also opened its doors for bigger events in their garden, catering to up to 150 people.
