FLIP a few dollars. It's worth it.
The first thing to know about FLIP A COIN is that its a "tapas" type restaurant. This means they serve their food in smaller portions meant for sharing. The benefit is that you get to taste several types of food at one sitting. And as tapas go, it can get expensive. Two people can expect to pay about $30 each to try 4 to 5 tapas. It's located just west of the Starbucks in Port Credit. There's parking on the street or behind FLIP.
They serve tea in a traditional tea set with a cast iron pot and a selection of teas. The Pork Ribs and the Mini FLIP were excellent. You'll want to have your own Mini FLIP :-) The Curry Shrimp Hot Pot was also excellent and perfect for sharing. The Thai curry has a nice kick to it. The Bamboo steamed Black Cod was tasty and I would vote for more cod on the dish.
The interior is interesting. The walls have some nice art and the music is perfect. The seating is a little "cold" except for the bench seats. But the space is only 3 weeks old. In time, this place will "season" nicely. The service is "enthusiastic". You can even win a prize if you can guess the secret ingredient in the Mini FLIP. It's not necessarily a spice and red cabbage or pork belly was wrong :-) Just a tip.
We went their early around 5:30 on a Monday night and it was empty. I think they will start seeing more people as soon as it gets discovered in Port Credit. The nice part about an empty restaurant is the feeling you are the only ones being catered to. That won't last long at Flip a Coin. If the menu keeps changing they will keep bringing people back.
Well done FLIP
