Franco’s Restaurant and Bar

Opened in 1946 Franco’s has been serving the local community for over 60 years.  A popular Italian restaurant in the heart of St. James’s which offers guests a tranquil oasis away from the buzz of the city. Its character evolves throughout the day from the early morning breakfast, to the charged lunches and romantic candle lit dinners in the evening.

The menu has been expertly developed by our Head Chef Paulo Parlanti and combines both traditional and modern dishes. Only the very best seasonal ingredients are often flown in from Italy to ensure that the food is not only authentic but wonderfully flavoursome.  Our staff pride themselves on providing an exceptional standard of service, which is attentive yet unobtrusive.

Breakfast 

Whether it’s a strong coffee and warm croissant before work or a hearty cooked breakfast, Franco’s is the perfect setting for all those that prefer an early rise. Our outside tables provide an excellent opportunity to watch the world go by whilst warmed by our efficient heaters. For a more formal affair we can accommodate business meetings in the restaurant or mirrored room if privacy is required.

Afternoon Tea

For the serious shoppers who have skipped lunch or those who are in search of a decadent treat, we are proud to introduce a full Afternoon Tea Menu with scones, cakes and finger sandwiches. Why not enhance the experience with a touch of extravagance in the form of a glass of bubbly?

 
Private Dining

From intimate dinners, or lavish banquets to cocktail receptions and product launches the Mirrored Room is exceptionally versatile and can be transformed for any occasion.

The space can hold up to 60 guests seated or 120 standing and can also be divided for smaller functions to allow an area for pre-dinner drinks or a break out space. The meeting room features an inset 42 inch plasma screen with an independent sound system, perfect for conferences or meetings.
