We are regular visitors to Francs and have always enjoyed exceptional food at a very reasonable price.The menu is very varied the difficulty is what to choose. We have taken friends from Stockport, Saddleworth and Wilmslow and they are now regular visitors. Good value for quality food and service.

My wife and I thought we'd have a treat by going here to enjoy the supposedly great food. We dropped in at eight thirty the prime time for good eating. The best we can say about our experience is that the restaurant recognised their failings and didn't charge us a penny. Now the food... have you ever been served rare duct on a bed of fresh fruit salad? It was was like having the main course and dessert in one, what is all that about? My wife's steak would please Pythagoras in it's perfect square dimensions and it was supposed to be a rib eye. I have never been so insulted in all my life as a restaurant goer to be fed this badly. Let me remind you. duck and fresh fruit salad! Where was the cream??

Just returned from Francs restaurant in Altrincham. We were taken their by friends. The cheaper fixed price menu is good value compared to other restaurants. I chose the bon marche deal but would have been as well choosing the cheaper menu ( Oh well they were paying!) As a very keen cook myself I like value for money and something I would not make myself. The pastry basket holding the seafood cocktail was deliciously light and crisp. I spent the time eating wondering how it had been made. I found out that they are bought in from a wholesale place. I knew that the ginger baskets holding the fruit salad tasted exactly the same as those I have bought from Lidl and Aldi. I always have them in...a cheap and cheerful buy and they look posh on the table./ I ordered the chicken with the coconut and lime ....don't know where the coconut was and the lime must have been wafted over somewhere. Anyway the topping was nice but then....the rest...the usual bland chicken breast. Jamie Oliver eat your heart out. Of course the plate looked nice with all the salad bits and pieces. I am comparing Francs with other places so for the cheaper fixed price...a good value meal in lively surroundings. I wouldn't bother going for the more expensive menu when we go again...as we will be for someone's birthday ( his wife can't cook and he goes no further than a boiled potato with chopped up corned beef with bisto onion gravy....and why not....it's tasty! Yes I have enjoyed my night out at Francs and I didn't have words with my husband asking me how much is a packet of lentils and a slice of black pudding when I go to Bury Market. Who says there is no money about...take a look around the clientele in Francs.....half a weeks wages for some people by the time they've finished. Shut up woman only takes two glasses of wine for you to start.

We always enjoy our visits to Francs. Like the last reviewer, we have never had any problems over the service, and have always found the staff very friendly, and the fact that it is always busy proves that they can't be doing too much wrong. We took some friends just before Christmas and from their comments on how much they enjoyed it, it looks as though this will become a regular event The choice from the menu is always difficult as there are so many tempting dishes, although if they have the moules mariniere on the specials board I don't bother to look any further.

latest visit to Francs was a on Satuday night but we have been many times. The standard of food served is very high, the menu is fresh and varied. I am surprised to see the comments about service as it has always been right for us - Informal, fast, and efficient. The french onion soup is fantastic. We have often recommended francs to friends and everyone we send loves it.

Outstanding food with a good range of dishes on the menu (I was spoilt for choice!) was let down by the standard of service

Francs Restaurant

Dined on a busy Saturday night, ate the scallop starter with a well complimented Louisiana dressing and had a superb pink lamb rack with a rosti potato and ratatouille. Very busy and surprisingly unfussed and smooth service considering. Will definitely visit again

Francs Restaurant

Nice place, excellent food, great lunch menu but let down by the service.

Francs Restaurant

This long-established restaurant still retains its original wine-bar atmosphere, with under-sized tables, plank floors, and informality. Don't expect luxury or slick trendiness here, but do expect to eat well. There is an extensive a la carte menu -- expect £60+ for 3 courses plus modest wine for two - and cheaper, but more restricted fixed price menus. Food is carefully cooked and well-presented, and obviously appreciated by the relaxed clientele on the very busy Thursday night I visited. Yes, packed on a Thursday! The big let-down is the clumsy service. Well-meaning, friendly young people dash and bumble around, but a few well-trained waiters would do much to justify the prices.
