Let’s make dinner plans. Seriously, you deserve a night that feels fun, fills your glass with something glorious, and has you sending your friends “you need to see this” selfies all evening. Welcome to Flamant, Plano’s downright lively European live fire cocktail bar and bistro, where delicious happens right by the water, table by table.
Pull Up a Chair. The Night Starts Here.
If your idea of a good time is somewhere between breezy patio vibes and eye-catching murals, Flamant’s got your number. Step into 5880 State Highway 121, Suite 103b, Plano, TX, and you’ll spot velvet banquettes, a red stone bar, a wall-sized Picasso-style mural, and a kitchen so open you’ll catch every fiery bit of action. It’s the kind of space where you immediately relax, maybe run your hand over the bar top, and say: Yep, we’re staying awhile.
The scene outside? Think patio perfection, boardwalk breeze, and all the energy Plano’s Granite Park can offer. Grab your favorite people. Grab a spot on that patio. Let the conversations roll.
Flamant’s Menu: Where Europe Gets Cheeky
Flamant is the brainchild of the Michelin and James Beard-winning team behind Rye and Apothecary, and the playful genius shows up in every bite. Forget basic, because the kitchen is bringing you bold flavors cooked over an open flame, inspired by the best of Portugal, Spain, France, and Italy.
-
Savory Cannoli Dip: Italian cannoli shells that scoop up whipped ricotta, mascarpone, sea salt, pistachios, lemon and smoked honey. It’s half snack, half conversation starter.
-
Faux Gras: Plant-based, ultra-silky and topped with lacto-fermented blackberry jam, preserved lemon and herbs, served with crunchy wood-fired bread.
-
Scallop Crudo: Ocean-blue thanks to spirulina, dressed with lemon, herbs, and Portuguese chiles. It’s a vacation on a plate.
-
Wood-Fired Wagyu Burger: Chuck, cheek, and ribeye meet fontina, Spanish tomato, garlic whip and chive on a bun with bark.
-
Ragu Bianco: Gnocchi rolling in pork ragu, minus the tomato so the herbs can shine.
-
Crème Brûlée Cheesecake: We’re talking crème fraîche, red wine caramel, and duck fat cookie crumble. Try not to text your mom about it mid-bite.
For the “let’s share everything” crowd, Flamant’s got tinned fish platters (think old-school sailor, modern chic), charcuterie loaded with Euro meats, fresh pastas, and—yes—mussels that’ll have you fighting over the last one.
Drinks That Wink: Flamant’s Cocktail Adventure
Here’s where Flamant totally leans in. The bar program is chef-curious, inventive, and weirdly wonderful in all the ways you want. Cocktails are like little experiments—think pepperoncini brine, squid ink, salted honey, and even croissant in your martini lineup.
Order a round (or three) and get playful:
-
Salt & Pepperoncini Margarita: It’s got that herbal French liqueur heat and enough salt to make it seriously snackable.
-
Espresso Martini Mania: Flamant triples down with versions featuring rum and salted honey, gin and fig, or a surprise croissant twist.
-
Sgroppino: Gin, limoncello, prosecco—imagine the grown-up lemonade stand of your dreams.
-
Vespa: Vesper martini meets charred lemon and Bombay murcia lemon gin; you’ll want to toast with this one.
-
Porto Tonico: Portugal’s answer to happy hour, light and refreshing.
They’ve even dabbled with THC-infused beverages (while Texas says yes), so you can add a little chill to the mix. Go for bold. Go for silly. Flamant makes it easy to be a “just one more?” guest.
Brunch, Happy Hour, and Waterfront Chill
Should you wait for the weekend? Not at all. Flamant shines at brunch with a $40 unlimited plate deal that’s built for explorers and sharers. Hit up croquettes, croissant benedict, French toast, patatas bravas, and more. If you’re here for lunch, dinner, or late-night nibbles, the plates roll from 11AM most days, with kitchen hours that keep the party going until late. Happy hour? It pops from 3PM to 6PM, with drink deals that basically command, “text your crew now.”

Let’s raise a glass and linger a little longer—this is how Plano does playful, and it’s absolutely worth another round.
