New Concept Flora King Opening in Castro

According to Hoodline , a new eatery listed as Flora King per a liquor license notice is debuting in The Castro.

Coming to 4248 18th Street , the restaurant will take over the former Vico Cavone space, landing near establishments such as Mollie Stone’s Markets, Takara Sushi SF, and The Hotel Castro.

Flora King’s Co-Owner, Ignacio ‘Iggy’ Garat — who will operate the business alongside his wife Angela Pryor-Garat — tells What Now San Francisco , “We are not ready to report anything yet,” however, he promises to loop us in when the business is closer to opening.

Nevertheless, Pryor-Garat confirms with Hoodline that the new restaurant will be called Flora King, after her great-grandmother. She shares, “She was a pioneer in Argentina that came from Scotland—We owe much to her.”

“Public records indicate Garat applied for the Type 41 beer and wine license on October 8 and the application is currently pending. Garat did not transfer the Type 47 license from Vico Cavone owners Alessandro Raimondi and Sanaa Hams,” Hoodline reports.

An opening date has not been announced yet, so stay tuned for updates.
