Franco is a wonderful bistro. Starters such as scallops, faux graux, onion soup and more all are terrific. Great salads too. Hard to decide on dinners as so many are great. Lamb shanks, steaks, trout, other fish and many more are all good. So good, we are making our second visit this week!

This is a...
