I had such a great experience at Bar Franco. The focaccia paired with balsamic was absolutely delicious—simple but full of flavour. And the tiramisu was honestly the best I’ve ever had! I’d happily come back just for dessert. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a relaxed spot with amazing food.
Haruka Ueda, 5 months agoWe had our wedding reception at Bar Franco and it was absolutely perfect. Ana-Maria was incredible to work with, she was so helpful throughout the entire process, offering thoughtful suggestions and truly acting as a safe pair of hands to bring our vision to life. From the very beginning, she made everything feel easy and under control, which meant so much to us during what can be a stressful time. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she and the team were always just a phone call away whenever we had questions. They coordinated everything seamlessly on the day, including our DJ and setup,
Nicole Schofield, 5 months agoMy husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at the Chef's Table + Trust the Chef option at Bar Franco and I can not rave enough on how brilliant the night was. We are big foodies and I always love trying to recreate delicious meals we have and the chefs Kash and Pedro were amazing! Talking us through what each dish was made of and even giving us a recipe! Food was delicious and the staff went over and above!! Highly recommend Chef's Table and the trusting the chef great value for money!
