Karachi, Pakistan-75600
Hidden amongst the bustling streets of
Karachi, is a little taste of France. Step into Cafe Flo for a fine dining
experience. An ideal place for a business lunch, celebratory dinner or a
relaxing Sunday Breakfast. Now this short story will not have any hints of
value for money references because when it comes to places like these, you can
chuck away any sense of normality to your billing history, but rest assured, the
food quality will always be top notch. We were four friends, four steaks,
New Zealand T-Bone (which I had) will
cost you about PKR 2,600 for 370 gms approx. 10/10 VERY juicy, and if meat is
cooked just the way you want it and it will provide you with at least 30
minutes of continuous pleasure. I am serious. This is serious food territory,
had the T-Bone the first time in my life, and *cough* is great for BIG
occasions, not your everyday meal.
Wagyu Beef Steak : A friend ordered a Wagyu Beef Steak, which
cost him back some PKR 5,950 (OUCH), now that’s a lot, I mean, if you, maybe,
like.... WHAT Yes, you read that right, that’s five thousand nine hundred fifty
rupees plus tax of course. Couldn't get to taste any of that 200 gms goodness,
but apparently it was great. As you can imagine, one bite of that steak would
approximately cost around 500 to 600 Rupees, NOBODY would share that! It was
undercooked, so had to be reheated, which seemed out of sync for a restaurant
like Flo.
Other items that were ordered were Cream
of Mushroom Soup, Steak with Moriles sauce, and Barbeque undercut. I am already
a fan of the Steak with Moriles sauce 10/10, it is the best steak in town in my
humble opinion. It comes with a topping of creamy Mushroom sauce, a serving of
the Gratin potato and sautéed vegetables. Value for Money for this steak is
great in my opinion.For Dessert we shared the profiteroles, these are éclair
type things, smaller of course with ice cream, and chocolate. Very nice, and
recommended, 9/10
lets look at the bill now, Apart from
food, I just love the ambiance and the people, everyone is sitting there with a
smile, calm, relaxed, doesn't feel like Karachi.
Mushroom Soup - PKR 395
T-Bone steak - PKR 2,641.20
BBQ Undercut - PKR 1,010
Steak Moriles - PKR 1,390
Wagyu Steak - PKR 5,950
Profiteroles - PKR 370
10% Service charge is included in the
bill, so add 95 for water, and 110 for a coke and 2,105 for tax, this comes to
around a total of PKR 15,262.49!
you do get a little cream cheese with
some carrot and cucumber, and a bread basket with some butter before the
meal..... sooooo, Nah, still not value for money, but its great for special
occasions, excellent ambiance, friendly courteous staff, and amazing food.
9/10 for everything except Value for
Money Recommended for Special Occasions
