Francs Description

The French Franc may be dead - lost to European conformity - but in Chester Francs is very much alive. They've recently celebrated their 15th anniversary and, true to French tradition, they're not conforming to anything! They like to think that they add a special ingredient to French cuisine - fun!! The French just don't have their own word for it; at Francs, they take fun very seriously.

With three dining rooms buzzing with the residents of Chester, tourists from all over the world and local business people, the atmosphere at Francs is legendary - an essential part of what they are; not traditionalists but keeping the very best of rustic ideas and throwing in a few of their own.

The ovens were first switched on in 1987, since when 1,000,000 meals have been served, an impressive statistic when you come to do the sums. Certainly this delightful place remains one of Chester's favourites and the new ownership has taken on a big responsibility.

There are so many trusted and reliable dishes on the menu made in the spirit of minimal interference with the food and a desire to let the ingredients tell the story. Such simple things as the potage fume, with smoked haddock, potatoes, parsley, lemon and cream, or the passpartout with its joints of chicken slowly simmered with chick peas, sweetcorn, celery, fennel and spicy sausage in a creamy tomato sauce.

Your Reviews of Francs

Brian.Everton (2 April 2008)

Four of us went there for the first time on a quiet April Wednesday night, using a restaurant voucher. The phone booking was slick and efficient and the welcome was pleasant but not overbearing. The Times set menu had 3 – 5 choices for all three courses. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal and were not pressured to vacate the table, even after we had finished our coffees - I liked that. However, I think their staff can maintain better levels of hygiene in their service.

Joan (19 November 2007)

I ate there and enjoyed every mouthful. We both had calf's liver for the main course and it was cooked pink and tender. Why we haven't eaten there before when visiting Chester we can't imagine. We had the cheapest bottle of wine and it was very enjoyable. It’s definitely on our list of will visit again.
