About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for scenic views
  • Charming
Under the culinary direction of Chef Somoza, Flora’s menu captures the spirit of Mediterranean seaside towns from Saint Tropez to Capri to Marbella, spotlighting the bountiful seafood and vibrant produce that are hallmarks of coastal cuisine. With a passion for fresh ingredients rooted in his childhood in the Spanish countryside, picking wild blackberries and foraging mushrooms and wild asparagus, Chef Somoza is drawn to local, farm-to-table cooking.

The Flora menu is made up of regional ingredients such as sweet corn, seasonal vegetables and fruits, local seafood and small farm sourced meats, and is anchored by a crudo bar and fish main courses including Dover Sole, Bank Scallops, pan seared halibut. A skilled pastry chef and boulanger, Somoza is also putting an emphasis on quality breads and an impressive offering of house-made pastries and ice cream, and the most delicious creme brulee.

    Our favorite spot in Newport! Coming back every weekend for a drink or dinner. The waiters and bartenders are top-notch! You should try their tuna tartare or octopus—it’s a-m-a-z-i-n-g!

    Very handsome venue with outstanding service Spanish cuisine. Wide choice original dishes; with some dishes too peppery. Good if pricey wine list. Definitely a "special occasion" place.
