My family always enjoys eating at Cafe Flo. The food is fresh and creative and have never had a bad meal. Sitting outside overlooking the Lieutenant River is definitely a plus.

Whether you go for the art and stay for the food, or simply go for the food; you can’t go wrong dining at Cafe Flo.
We stopped by the Florence Griswold museum on a nearly perfect Autumn day and were delighted by the food, atmosphere, and service at Cafe Flo.
The cafe is seasonal with outdoor seating overlooking a bend in a gentle river that meanders by. The picture perfect views complement the experience.
Note: it can get breezy and be a bit cooler in the shade of the porch, so dress accordingly.
The menu and specials board presented the challenge of having to choose among several great options.
Choose we did, I opted for the beet and goat cheese salad, which was fresh and flavorful. My spouse order the mushroom bisque, having been inspired by the mushrooms of the Wee Faerie Villages (An annual autumn event at the “FloGris”).

Both dishes were fresh and flavorful.
For dessert we enjoyed the apple crisp pie, which we found to be done just right - fresh, subtly spiced, and not overly sweet.

In addition to the season food specials, several beverage specials were available as well, including alcoholic and nonalcoholic option.

Cafe Flo is worth a visit, whether you are visiting the art galleries/museum or not.

There were 8 of us for lunch and the food was absolutely delicious. Kudos to the Chef especially when we all got our meals hot and all at the same time. We couldn’t have gotten better service from our waiter. This was a lovely spot overlooking the Lieutenant River. We will definitely be back.

We had an amazing time at Flo! It’s hard to decide what’s better, the view or the food! They have a menu filled with so many great options it’s hard to decide what delicious meal to choose! Cafe Flo is consistently amazing at a reasonable price!
