Absolutely amazing!! Highly recommend, I had the freshest, most delicious, high standard food here that I have ever eaten. Beautiful free canapes and bread were also brought to our table with most attentive staff. 4 of us dined at Francine's and none of us were disappointed. Restaurant and toilets were also very clean and inviting. Well done!! We will return and will be telling our friends.

Lovely evening at Francines. We visited on the back of a recommendation and all of the food was fantastic. The service and atmosphere were great. Lovely touch to bring some canapes to start with and the panacotta was the best I've tasted outside Italy! Even the house wine was very good. Not cheap but very much worth it!

We recently visited Francine's (15th January 2009), we were welcomed by a lovely waitress who served us throughout the evening. We stared the meal with some tasty h'dourves. Three delicious courses - we both really enjoyed the game! We would recommend this restaurant to everyone who wants good quality, delicious food then book here. Warm and friendly 4 star food without the pretentiousness of fine dining. Excellent. We WILL be coming back in the summer.

Me & my partner visited Francine's November 05, We came back to find it was closed in December 06 and were extremely upset! We had a fabulous meal there on our first visit. The place had a completely different atmosphere in the evening, we enjoyed several courses, all at which were well worth the cost. I am elated to say we have booked a table there for this saturday night for our annual trip to Windermere. The main purpose of our visit being our trip to this beautiful little restaurant!...oh, and my partners birthday!! A must for anyone staying or visiting the Lake District, day or night.

We went to Francines on Saturday night. They didn't really have a table but managed to fit us in and I am so glad they did. The food was absolutely stunning and the ambience topped it off perfectly. The lobster was cooked to perfection and the desserts were amazing! I will definitely go back next time I am in Windermere as it made the weekend even more special.

We visited francines for the first time last May and was very impressed. When we returned to the lakes again at February half term we knew we had to go again but this time we wanted to go in the evening. We were certainly not disappointed. The food was superb extremely well presented and totally faultless, needless to say we went back for lunch two days later again tremendous, oh and we took back home to Bolton two massive pieces of carrot cake. We certainly wont hesitate to make the hours journey when we go out for lunch or dinner its well worth the ride. A must for all food lovers.

We went for a Saturday evening, and had ordered Lobster Thermadore in advance (24 hours notice needed for Lobster). The ambience was lovely (we'd previously been for a lunch which was wonderful, and it was great to see how the place had been dressed for the evening - completely transformed). The menu had a fabulous selection of tempting dishes for all three courses, and an amuse bouche was also served - lovely surprise. We couldn't fault anything, from outstanding food to spot-on service. We chose crab risotto, followed by the lobster followed by the best creme brulee in the world, and I should know, I've had a few! Francine is in complete control at front of house, and husband Graeme is the very talented chef. This restaurant is an absolute jewel. Hope it continues to prosper. Although I've marked our bill cost as average, we actually expected to pay more, as the standard here is very high. Graeme adds lots of little extras to his dishes and presents them in a very unpretentious way, which really make a difference. We'll definitely be returning.
