FRIDA Southwest
Oklahoma
FRIDA Southwest draws a line between Oklahoma, Santa Fe and northern Mexico from its home in Oklahoma City’s Paseo district. The restaurant uses those overlapping culinary influences to shape a contemporary menu with a clear Southwestern identity. Meat, seafood and vegetables all feature in the kitchen’s approach, with locally sourced ingredients informing the dishes. Traditional methods and newer ideas sit together, allowing the menu to move across regional references without losing its central theme. The bar is a substantial part of the experience, offering cocktails, wine and spirits. The Daley, its whiskey-focused bar and lounge, gives the address another setting for guests who want to make drinks a larger part of the evening. Weekend brunch provides an alternative to dinner. For a visit to the Paseo, FRIDA works as a place to pause and extend the outing, with enough range to suit a meal centred on the food or a more leisurely gathering around the bar.
