Bistro Franc

Excellent visit, lovely food and great service can't wait to try again.😊😊

Very nice and reasonably priced food. Nothing could be faulted

We were placed on a small table which meant it was difficult to fit everything on the table at once. We felt the portion sizes were quite small and when the waitress brought us dessert menus it took her over 20 minutes to come back to us by which time we had changed our minds and asked for the bill

Food and service was brilliant as ever and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Will be back again soon.

Such a shame that a very nice meal ended with the waitress asking "Do you want me to bring your change?"...... I would have tipped, but to be asked for a tip is just plain wrong. 20 years a catering manager..... I'd be horrified to find a member of staff asking for a tip. So the 75p we left, which you probably thought was an insult, was meant to tell you something!

Food nice but service slow and a bit unin terested unfriendly.

Service was very poor and inflexible. Will not be coming back!

Lovely food. Fantastic venue. Lovely, friendly staff.. Highly recommended x

The waitress was friendly. The food wasn't as good as I epected it to be. The boeuf bourguignon was quite watery and the apple and blackberry (I think) crumble didn't really have any crumble. But I did eat every scrap so it wasn't horrible, just not to my taste I suppose. The decor is nice.

It was a good experience in general. There was a small issue but they solved it quickly. Recommended.

I booked the restaurant to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday. Having been there on several previous occasions and had a wonderful meal with great atmosphere I was expecting the same. It was extremely disappointing - the service was clinical and the food lacked flavour. I will not be rushing back.

We went for the pre-theatre menu, 2 courses for £11.95. I expected small portions for the price. The meals that arrived were delicious and big portions. Brilliant value for money, we’ll definitely be back!

Really nice evening in Bistro Franc food was lovely. Had a great waitress and service was excellent. Good value for money. Will go again and would recommend highly

I really feel like something went a little bit wrong in the kitchen? I have been here before but was confused with some of the menu items, as what we received was not what was described. Firstly the seabass with tomato and olive tapenade on menu was seabass with a bit of chopped onion and olive. My partner's side dish of dauphinoise potato was cheesy mash?? My mushroom and tarragon risotto from menu was mushroom and cheese no tarragon and very rich....Desert... Well this was the most disappointing as just nowhere near what we ordered, menu was a chocolate roulade with black cherry compote which turned out to be a slab of shop bought chocolate cake with that thick frosting, and my partners was a blackberry and hazelnut tart which was another shop bought tart case very thick and dry with some thin blackberry sauce poured in and 3 hazelnuts on top? I just think maybe there was a problem or a new chef. In no way was this a bad meal just not what we ordered.

Good food and pleasant service . The ideal place to spend a rainy Wednesday afternoon, prior to our trip to the theatre. All in all a good days birthday celebration .

Excellent food & service, first time customer but will be returning in the near future. The food & drink were at reasonable prices, good night out.

Service was attentive and our dishes were delivered promptly. All of our dishes were prepared with care and attention to detail and our party was very pleased with our dining experience.

Great food, friendly service and relaxed atmosphere. The place feels very French without any pomposity or stuffiness. Excellent value for money, easy to book online whereyou can confirm or cancel your booking without hassle. I have been using this restaurant for years and have never been disappointed.

Service was excellent food was delicious. Although the Bistro was really busy the staff stayed cheerful and friendly. Had a lovely afternoon. Would highly recommend 👌

Food was good but th portions were slightly reduced. Service was acceptable, a bit slow with the liqueur coffee. The room was half full. I expected it to be busier although it was the day after Valentine's Day.

Excellent food at affordable prices. The sea bass fish was beautiful as were the accompanying vegetables. Out of four of us, three had the apple and berry crumble, which was very tasty but I found the crumble a bit stodgy. My friend said the creme brulee was delicious.

Very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. Food delicious served hot and quickly . Staff very friendly and helpful and unassuming. Merlot was very tasty. Delighted 😊

Lovely food. Great staff. Great surroundings. Would definitely go back again. The presh theatre menu was great value for money and I loved the cheese board with my glass of red wine😊

Great service,lovely food and excellent Sunday wine and dine deal. Good value for money for the quality of the food. Very attentive staff. Nice ambience

Sorry bistro Franc meals tonight dry and uninspiring quite disappointed as was looking forward to my birthday meal. Have been many times but tonight did not hit the mark.

Excellent food and ambience. I would recommend them to anyone The brie was fantastic and the cheesecake is to die for. All in all good value for money.

Great food, good value, great setting. Only slight problem was feeling cold by the window which is easily rectified, don't sit by the window :)

Very busy, very enjoyable, very good service, very reasonable. Very tasty food, very convenient before show at Echo Arena. Need to book for pre theatre dinner.

Pleasant friendly atmosphere. Ate from a la Carte menu. Very quick service. Good sized meals in fact too large. All piping hot. Offered bottle of water. All in all a lovely meal on a snowy night. Also live music from a singer and guitarist which was a bonus.

Another excellent night at Bistro Franc, food excellent as always, great atmosphere, and staff as lovely as ever. The restaurant was very busy so a few choices not available, which is great news for a restaurant on a cold Tuesday night in January. Still plenty of choice though

The food and service was as good as ever and the added element of live music as a background made it a very enjoyable night.

Lovely food reasonably priced and friendly quick service . Ideal place to eat their pre theatre menu is excellent . We have visited three times before and have never been disappointed.

Overall grewt waitress, great service and great meal. The restaurant was very busy however our table was ready waiting for us. The service was very good and we had no feeling of being rushed to release the table. Great value for money in nice surroundings.

Bistro Frank as always serves us excellent food we are never rushed and the staff are very pleasant and professional good service on every visit.

The food wasn’t as good as it had previously been. The linguine pasta sauce was watery and didn’t coat the pasta. The potato fondant with the duck looked like it had been boiled in stock only about a week earlier! The sea bass wasn’t great and the dish as a whole was very salty. The service was very poor as when we asked for something it took a while to get it. No one was apologetic either.

Love this restaurant, food was great, service spot on . They never rush you and there's a nice atmosphere, great choice and value for money with their wine and dine offers. Will definitely be back

Always lively and noisy. Always a good choice on the menu. Service is attentive but not intrusive . Good value for money as we had the pre-theatre menu. Wine wasn't great but the food was excellent.

Had a lovely 3 course meal with 3 Friends. Staff were friendly and professional and did not rush us. Will definitely go back again soon

Lovely meal from the a la cartel menu. There were 4 of us and we all enjoyed the evening. Our waitress was really good and helpful xx

Great food. Staff very attentive and friendly. Relaxed feel, not rushed. Really enjoyable evening with friends. Excellent service with a smile. Even took our photo!
