From Milan to Rome, the success of the El Porteño format
The Dorrego Company is Sebastian and Alejandro Bernardez and Fabio Acampora’s Argentine holding company. With a portfolio of renowned lounge bars and restaurants, it brings its magic from Milan to Rome, creating unique experiences. After the success of Milanese venues such as Living Liqueur&Delight and El Porteño Darsena, the company has also conquered Rome with El Porteño Valle in 2020 and, more recently, with El Porteño Gourmet, Terrazza Flores and Flores Arena.
The Terrazza Flores location
Terrazza Flores, opened in September 2023, is more than just a bar: it is an oasis en plein air offering spectacular views of the Palazzo Quirinale, the Altar of the Fatherland and the dome of St. Peter’s. The design has had care lavished on its smallest details, from warm nuances to touches of green and soft lighting, so that every moment spent here becomes special, enfolded in an intimate, welcoming atmosphere.
The drinks list of the Flores Terrace classics
Ready to be surprised? The Terrazza Flores drinkslist embodies the qualities of elegance and excellence typical of the Flores Cócteles brand. With the clear purpose of reviving classic mixology, the menu offers historic recipes prepared with traditional methods and enriched with a contemporary touch. Its new drinks list includes all the most famous international cocktails, such as Paloma, Daiquiri, Moscow Mule as well as Martini, Cosmopolitan and Margarita. These classics, with their timeless elegance and strong personality, are enhanced by the use of selected ingredients.
Specials, exclusive cocktails
These classics are joined by the Especiales cocktails, exclusive to the Terrazza Flores. The Golden Bloody Mary, which enriches the traditional recipe with basil oil and a milk punch made with brandy or bourbon and milk; the Mate Fizz, which includes an infusion of yerba mate; the Flores Tommy’s Margarita, with agave syrup and tequila infused with Butterfly Pea (a legume of Asian origin). Or a Negroni reinterpreted with Chinese lapsang black tea-infused gin; and the signature Dulce de Leche Espresso Martini that combines vodka, coffee liqueur, espresso and a spoonful of dulce de leche ice cream.
Its drinks list is completed by a selection of spirits, as well as a list of sparkling wines, designed to accompany the Terrazza’s rich and tempting culinary offerings.
The dishes at Terrazza Flores
The menu, simple and informal, glances at the typical dishes of Buenos Aires, without excluding international inspirations. They range from the trio of Asado Tacos to Empanadas, typical Argentine oven-baked turnovers, here exalted from street food to gourmet dishes. All the way to the Wow Tuna made from bluefin tuna sashimi, tomato water and croutons with Mediterranean spices. To finish with the Tris di Wagyu
