Over dit restaurant

  • Charmant
  • Geweldig voor goede wijn
  • Goed voor speciale gelegenheden
Franciska is a wine bar dedicated to Argentine Bodegón cuisine, a culinary tradition deeply rooted in Spanish and Italian influences brought by immigrants to Buenos Aires at the turn of the century. In our intimate 20-seat space in Portland’s Old Port, we bring people together over thoughtfully crafted dishes made with New England-sourced ingredients and house-made specialties. Our mission is to create a warm, welcoming space where good food, good wine, and good company come together.

    This is great new place, the staff are very welcoming and the service was great! They have a large selection of wines to choose from and all of the food we sampled from the menu was delicious. We will definitely be going back.

    Restaurant is small and intimate. Service was fantastic. Owner is quite knowledgeable about wines and Argentinian wines specifically. Food was really good, although the pricing structure is a little odd. We got a trout filet (local trout) with grilled Fennel for $19 (which was excellent), but the ribeye, which was listed under large plates, was the same "small plate" portion as the trout, yet cost $34, which seemed a bit much given how much you got. It was also very tasty, although a bit gristly.

    Jon, Thank you for the kind words — and you’re absolutely right about the steak. We used to serve a 16-ounce ribeye at a higher price point, but found that many guests couldn’t finish it. In an effort to reduce waste, we downsized the portion and kept it under “Big Plates,” not fully considering how that might be received. We’re only in our third week of service, and feedback like yours helps us improve. We truly appreciate your sincere review and hope to welcome you back soon.

    Such a lovey little new spot. Wasn't sure what kind of food options we would have and was happy to be able to have a whole (light) dinner of shared plates along with the fun wine selection. Will definitely be back - it's an ideal spot to just get a quick taste/glass/bottle at the standing bar inside or out but love that the snacks can be combined for a meal. Staff was super nice and ambiance was just right.

    Skip the empanadas and the beets. The rib eye and green salad were very good. As yet, there’s no dessert, or coffee. The rib eye is served with just the slightest hint of chimichurri sauce and no sides.

    Vicky, Thank you for taking the time to review us. While we appreciate all feedback, we respectfully disagree with your suggestion to skip two of our highest-selling items. both of which receive daily praise from our guests. Palates differ, and that’s part of what makes dining so personal and diverse. That said, communication is key. Had we known you weren’t enjoying your beets or empanadas, we would’ve happily replaced them with something more to your liking — and of course, we’d have brought out extra chimichurri right away. Hospitality is truly at the heart of what we do, and the last thing I ever want is for a guest to leave feeling unsatisfied. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back and offer a better experience with coffee and dessert :-) Alex Marchesini

    We live close by so we've been walking past it as they've been preparing for the opening and were anxious to try it. We were willing to give some slack since it's brand new and would likely have growing pains. That turned out to be unnecessary. The restaurant looks great. We'd been to both of the location's previous iterations and this is the best yet. Of course, it's small, but that added to the feeling of intimacy and connection. We had conversations with close-by guests at two tables. The noise level was slightly higher than I like it, but we could still easily hear each other across the table. The food was great. We had the very well dressed greens, the bread, a fluke crudo special and empanadas. That was enough to feed two of us. The empanadas were the best I've had in a while. The casing was flaky and crisp and the meat inside was amazing: tender and savory. The pico-like sauce on the side added flavor and was enough for both of us. The fluke was simply prepared with lemon and olive oil. It was so fresh that it needed nothing else. Service was great. Very down to earth, helpful and clearly well versed in the offerings (they had run out of trout, but offered to prepare a similar preparation using the fluke). We shared a bottle of Argentine Malbec that was great, especially with the bread and empanadas. Overall, a great addition to the Middle Street scene. I hope they are successful. We will certainly try to do our part by frequenting them.

Warmly, Alex Marchesini Franciska Wine Bar

    Not your usual meat-heavy Argentinian restaurant. Varied and delicious menu. Trout excellent.

    This newly opened restaurant is a wonderful addition to the Portland, Maine dining scene. We had a lovely evening at this small, intimate restaurant.
