    Absolutely delightful evening at Frank’s Canteen and so happy finally made it! The food was unbelievable - rich, delicious, incredible flavours, really decent portion sizes and fairly priced. It was so hard to choose between all the dishes! Honestly cannot express how delicious it was. Lovely staff, warm welcome, no corkage also sweetened the deal. Really lovely can’t wait to go back hopefully for Christmas menu!

    Loved this place, the staff are super friendly and attentive but not “in your face”. It is indeed a grand café, more of a grand brasserie. Can highly recommend the nibbles, beautifully served warm bread, hot padron peppers and superb iberico ham. Fab wines and really lovely mains. Even the espresso was spot on. Well done the Brush, we had a great birthday celebration for my husband. We didn’t try the cocktails but the mixologist was creating a range for staff training purposes and they looked amazing. Next time….
