We enjoy our meal at Frenchies every time we dine here. The Valentine’s Day dinner set menu was so delicious. We wish some of the courses were staples. Drinks menu is really good. The Frenchies beers are great (their pale ale is my boyfriend’s favourite beer and we regularly buy cases of it). I would love to see a more everyday drinking sparkling on the menu. The staff are always lovely and attentive even when they were as busy as they were on Valentine’s Day night. Overall loved our experience at Frenchies for dinner.
