Fran's Restaurant And Bar

This is my first time visiting Fran's and it was a good first impression. According to my wife, this is one of the nicer locations. It is located not too far away from St. Lawrence market in a nice quiet location. I recommend the patio during the summer. It is quiet with a great view of nearby Berczy park. I visited on a Saturday afternoon for brunch (there is no specific brunch menu but there is all day breakfast). It was busy and we did have to wait a few minutes for the hostess to get to us. However she was apologetic and we were seated on the patio quickly. We were going to order the Big Breakfast but opted for a stack of pancakes (4 in a stack) to share and individual omelettes. It was a bit unexpected that cheese is not included with the omelette and is a separate charge. The food did take a while but I wouldn't say it was more than a typical wait. Everything came out hot and seemed freshly made, so worth the wait. The omelette was good and the breakfast potatoes were hot and fresh and I liked that they were lightly salted. The highlight for me were the pancakes, they were very tasty. They seem to have their own in house branded syrup and it complemented that pancakes well. I would recommend giving Fran's a try.

Decent chilly soup, and also veggie chilly option! Their pasta is kind of overcooked but still OK to eat (maybe not if you are Italian). Excellent nachos snacks, attentive service, we are always happy to eat at Fran's!
