Frida Kahlo

What Frida Kahlo does

Frida Kahlo (legally "Alexandra Specht," operating under the trade names "frida kahlo ❀ art bar food" and "frida k") is a single-location restaurant and bar in Nuremberg's Nordstadt district, founded in December 2011. The establishment offers freestyle tapas-style dishes drawing on world cuisines (vegetarian, meat, and seafood plates), salads, and desserts, alongside a full beverage program of cocktails, organic wines, and draft beer. The venue is differentiated by its themed aesthetic inspired by the artist Frida Kahlo, a colorful chestnut-shaded garden for outdoor seating, and a program of rotating art exhibitions by local artists, positioning it as a casual evening destination rather than a high-volume restaurant. Operations are limited to six-day evening service (Monday–Saturday 17:00–23:00) at Pleydenwurffstraße 1, 90408 Nuremberg, with a takeout channel that offers a 10% price discount on all food items ordered by phone or voicemail. The business is structured as a sole proprietorship (Einzelunternehmen) under owner Alexandra Specht, with no external investment, subsidiaries, or disclosed financial data.
