Tier Achieved:
Clean. Reliable. Does the job.
The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.
Cafe Francois throws a bit of a French curveball in the middle of the bustling market, but doesn't quite hit the mark consistently. You might find yourself enjoying a delightful rotisserie chicken that’s juicy and full of flavor, while simultaneously questioning if the escargot is truly meant to taste like grass. The service seems to be a mixed bag; some staff shine while others look like they’re still waking up.
On the patio, sipping blood orange mimosas while people-watching might just be the highlight of your visit. If outdoor dining is your jam, make sure to pick a sunny day; just be prepared for some inconsistencies when it comes to dishes and service. Overall, it’s a café that deserves a shot if you’re in the area, just don’t set your expectations too high.
