Flama - Review - Eixample - Valencia - The Infatuation
"Flama is the go-to for fish and well-cut meat cooked over an open flame, surrounded by polished concrete, shelves of wine, and the smell of smoke drifting in from the kitchen. The steak tartare arrives engulfed in smoke like it wandered in from a forest fire, and the grilled tellinas—tiny local clams—pack a salty punch that pairs perfectly with a cold glass of cava. If it’s fish night, go for the Cantabrian turbot, a meaty gem of northern Spain, or the San Pedro that they’ll present to the table raw for you to admire before they grill, cut, and debone it right there. Feeling carnivorous? The steak doesn’t miss. End the night with the brioche cremaet with cappuccino ice cream comes hidden under a massive cloud of cotton candy—a nostalgic nod to Valencia’s boozy coffee drink and a finale that’ll have you grinning like a kid at a fair.
