Located in the heart of Embassyland, the people over at Flamingo (pronounce it the Polish way Fla-ming-co) have their crossbows aimed at the embassy and lady lunching crowd. And with their New Hampshire beach house decor (think pastel colours, white painted wooden floors, painted wooden furnishings) and mix of pizza, pastas, and evening mains of beef or tuna fillets, they might very well succeed. The centrepiece is a round wood fired oven in front of which the young chef prepares excellent pizzas although our ‘Michelle’ which consisted of shrimps and a spicy sauce did have us wondering just who Michelle was. A menu which changes through the day from breakfast (08:30-12:00 Mon-Thu, 09:00-12:00 weekends) to lunch to dinner makes this a place worth recommending at all hours. A huge terrace and summer garden add to the attraction.
