Café Flo

Café Flo is open 11:30 to 3pm on Fridays and Saturdays and 11:30-4pm on Sundays June through October.


Café Flo is located at the Museum in the John and Dyanne Rafal Landscape Center with seating available in and around the center, including the historic garden. Diners may also choose to use one of the available picnic blankets and baskets and enjoy their meal near the Lieutenant River.

The Café's delicious and inventive dishes are prepared by Gourmet Galley using only the freshest ingredients available from local farmers and purveyors.

 

 

 

 

The addition of Café Flo is just one way the Florence Griswold Museum promotes local farmers and food purveyors. For the past 14 years the Museum has organized Market En Plein Air for the annual Old Lyme Midsummer Festival, held the last Saturday in July. Fashioned after French outdoor markets, local vendors are invited to sell their products from the lawn of the Museum. It has become one of the highly anticipated events of the summer.

Café Flo is also an example of how the Museum continually looks for creative ways to work with local artisans and businesses. For example the café tables were designed by housewright Erik Block of Hadlyme using reclaimed wood salvaged from a Connecticut mill. The 2010 season of Café Flo was sponsored by The Cooley Gallery of Old Lyme.
