Review Franc's Cafe + Bar - Takapuna

Cute spot for quick lunch or drinks. The vibe is amazing. I highly recommend sliders and tacos . Located just by the Takapuna beach . Parking can be difficult In this area so probably park under paid car parks and walk to the beach .

A wonderful date night dinner. We didn’t have a reservation but staff were super accommodating and service was great. Ordered tiger prawns, crispy chicken & waffles and nacho bowl. Delicious food and a great evening. Will definitely be back!

Adele and Hannah? Were wonderful the day my sister and I came! The food was gorgeous and the cocktails were spot on! We didn't want to leave for our next appointment after our 3rd yummy cocktail! Fabulous view, plenty of sunlight and an awesome crew to keep the place running! Thank you Adele and team!

Had a lovely evening with good food and good friends. Delicious as always. You never have to wait long for your food and one of the few restaurants whose kitchen is open at 4 in the afternoon when you want an early dinner.

Takeaway - Presentation of the food didn't look appealing, burger looked like there is nothing else but patties and a bun, but that first bite of my burger, yummmmmmy. Delicious tasting patties. Would I pay the price again for the burger, nope. $30.9 double patty not worth it IMO. Would I go and try the other food on the menu, yep, I can't judge the place with only trying 2 things on the menu.

Had a great Friday date night with my wife at Franc's. Perfect service from Ella B who knew the menu and helped us select the fish tacos, prawns and salmon along with squid rings. The manager Andrew was helpful and made sure everything was 100% Definitely worth a trip and another one to come

Really enjoyed our meal. Staff were lovely even when we split the payment 4 ways. The food was really pleasant. Cocktails were also different and looked lovely.

Cool menu, different meal varieties, Awesome service, food was amazing good value for money, yummy cocktails

E V E R Y T H I N G was 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ amazing! * Customer service - PERFECT! From the minute we arrived, the whole time we dined, the extra level of customer care was so awesome, it was abit hot & they made a change to the temperature (I think by turning some lights off), I am pregnant so was offered a different chair & cushion. * Food & Drinks - Just bang on delish! The Salmon & Veg was the best I've had dining out, the apple pie was mouth watering!!. We had a table booked for 12 I think & the food was brought out on big platters. So neat!! My mocktail & smoothie DELISH. There was a drink order issue & they sorted it asap plus free charge. * Atmosphere - BEAUTIFUL, comfy, casual, stunning location. HIGHLY RECOMMEND - THANK YOU. Will be back soon.

Went here with a friend on a first table booking and the place was pumpin’ for a Tuesday evening! One of the best meals I’ve ever had. Service was 10/10 and so was the food. Would definitely recommend coming here, and full price would absolutely be worth it.

Francs has a great selection of food and cocktails. Had the board and s'more brownie. The dessert could've done with more cream but otherwise delicious. They have paid parking right next door with card or app only payment options.

Very nice and lovely place . We tried many dishes all are delicious and tasty like it very much like Chicken Shawarma , fish and chips, chicken taco and Mac-and cheese. The staff are friendly and welcoming. They come many times asking if we need anything . There is one meal didn’t like which is crispy chicken burger it looks amazing but the chicken was not cooked very well crispy from outside raw inside, I told the man that it is raw and he brings us a new one but it is also raw from inside not cooked very well . They cooked the chicken breast with skin which leaves the meat cooked from outside and still raw inside . really disappointed 😔 about that dish only . we leave it as it is can’t eat it .

Had the platter, cheeseburger, and desert waffle with caramel apple. Family going before i could get photos. The fried cauliflower was a standout, and the wagyu beef burger patty was what burger king wish they served. Bang on. Here is a picture of the desert though. Great service. Fun food and a brilliant spot

Easy parking, great views of Takapuna beach, ample drinks list, good selection of quality American pub food. Generally I'm a pessimist when it comes to service, however, the service was spot on. Price wise, standard pub pricing (low/mid prices).

Happening place. Good jazzy music. Lots of people. Colorful chairs makes the place appealing. The food was good. Philly Cheese Steak Roll was good. I had the vege burger, loved the salad. Wife had Chicken Waffle, but would have loved it more, if the waffle was crisper (with sides crunchy like Belgium waffles). Good service & friendly.

Another fab lunch at Francs, under the guidance of the ever lovely Adele and her great team of servers. Just myself and mother-in-law this time, but the usual friendly and attentive service, and yummy food. The view, atmosphere, service and food make it our first restaurant of choice whenever we are back in Takapuna every 2-3 months. Thanks guys!

Ate there last night and had their Smashed Cheeseburger. It was the best cheeseburger I have ever had in New Zealand. The patty is somewhat crispy around the edges and I really liked that. The chips/french fries were crispy as well. The waitstaff at Franc's is always for friendly and helpful. Love going there!

My friend and I came to Franc's one evening and I ordered the chicken waffles - it was the first time I had something like this, I have to say, it was very sweet as it came with maple syrup and cream. I did however enjoy it! but I don't think I'd order it again. We also ordered some jalapeno poppers (soooo delicious) and we ordered the choc brownie smores thing which was really yum but it was again, very sweet! The waitresses were also super nice! I really appreciated their helpful service!
