Bar Frances

Excellent dining/drinks experience. I go there regularly.

I have eaten there twice recently and it was very good. Not crowded. They take reservations. The food is very good. I would have one constructive criticism for the restaurant. The bread for the grilled cheese and the bread for the avocado toast while delicious is way too rock hard. I could not cut the avocado toast and taking a bite it literally hurt my teeth. You need do you softer bread for the grilled cheese and the avocado toast and probably anything else that’s used in a dish like that. Other than that it was great

The restaurant was not crowded at all, and that surprised me. But the food and the service were good. The menu is limited. I wanted to substitute fresh fruit instead of a green salad with my omelet and they were not able to accommodate that request. You do have to appreciate a small kitchen that chooses to so what they do well instead of offering a bunch of substitutions. Bar Frances is a really neat place on Freret!

Brunch was outstanding!

The food was wonderful and hot. Our waiter was great. Would definitely go back

Neighborhood gem. Best menu I could find in the area and the food lived up to the descriptions. Went back the next night to try something else.

Good. I’d go again.

The food was great as usual. I highly recommend the banana avocado bowl and the burger. Will definitely be back

The happy hour menu is the best in town! The chickpeas, whipped feta, and burrata were divine!

Great waitress and meal. Loved the rose flight.

Strong experience with the food.

Everything was great. The burger is to die for and the service was super. I have been recommending it to people since we went. The gnocchi and the mushroom tapenade were also fabulous!

Everything was great except for my meal. Twice

Our waitress was excellent my wife lived her meal my son loved his. The appetizers were wonderful but my hamburger that I had asked to be cooked medium came out basically raw not rare but raw. So our waitress said she would have kitchen cook me a new one which the did but this one was worse. I don’t get it. It’s a burger.

We've been to Bar Frances a couple of times before and each time we just feel the bill is way too high. We'd go more often if their prices were lower!

Great food and service. But, very loud!

We wanted to try the Reveillon dinner. This was one of the very few places that had vegetarian options, which is why we chose it. The food was delicious and the service was great.

Freezing cold inside, food mediocre for New Orleans standards.

Very good atmosphere, staff is great too! I love the warm olives, and the seasonal offerings are always good too.

Had a great experience!

Had a really good burger. The server was not knowledgeable about the menu. Overall, the food is just not my favorite style cuisines. Felt more of an place to get beverages.

I love Bar Frances! The food is excellent, the service is wonderful, and I love how often the menu is updated. The soup du jour is always to die for!

Overall, everything was pretty nice. I chose the reveillon menu which had some great items, I just think I chose some of the wrong ones. I really liked the wine flight option, though! The place is cool, I’d probably go back but not right away. My parents and my bf loved their meals, I just wasn’t blown away by all that I chose but could see how they would be delicious if my tastebuds agreed. But I was able to try some things I had not before so that was nice!!! I’m not upset or disappointed at all.
My visit was about a month ago but I do remember service being very friendly and she was very knowledgeable and patient with us.

We were celebrating my birthday as well as my parent’s 35th wedding anniversary but only the birthday message came across and they thought it was my dad. But that was fine!

Bar Frances- the best kept secret in Nola! Delicious food and excellent service. And not too loud!!!

Excellent variety, even with the happy hour selections. Sharing several small plates often all that's needed for a good evening, although the full plates are also well proportioned.

Even though my wife’s food wasn’t to her liking, they did give us our food for free. I would go back.

Ordered the octopus, burrata, gnocchi, apple fennel salad, and buttermilk pie. Everything was so fresh, delicious, and flavorful. Loved the relaxed and elegant atmosphere.

Great food, great service!

The food was not exceptional. We had the Gulf fish special and the flavors were only so so.

Nice selection of small and large plates. My guests were from out of town, and they appreciated the local flavors!

Great experience here for my first visit. The mussels were absolutely incredible as was the delicious selection of cheeses available for the cheese board.
I will be back for sure!!

The tuna tartare is delicious and I highly recommend the gulf fish. Everything was excellent!

Always great. The watermelon is better than a steak!

The food is amazing!

Another Wonderful Dining Experience! Great Service, Great Food, and Great Wines ! The Happy Hour is a great value as well! We look forward to coming back soon!

This has become one of neighborhood favorites. The food is better than it has ever been. It also has a very fun and thoughtful wine/cocktail list.

Great meal! The grilled watermelon is fantastic!

Amazing food, drinks and service. One of my favorite restaurants in the uptown area.

Bar Frances is an excellent restaurant. I am a well-seasoned traveler and culinary savant, and I frequent restaurants of the sort often. The food is good. The presentation is excellent. The service is pure perfection. The food is not the best that I've had, and it left no stratospheric impression, but the items were very tasty and I left with pleasant feelings.

Expensive for so-so food

Good was excellent. But acoustics are horrible! There was a large table of screaming individuals who made the entire experience painful. For this reason alone I will never go there again. The staff made no effort to suggest to the patrons that they were disturbing everyone else in the restaurant. While the fault lies mostly with the guests, the staff could have done something to ameliorate the situation.
