Francine is a great spot for a girls night! It's a bit pricey for the quality in my opinion, but a reliable place for a nice dinner. They offer great gluten free options including GF bread and pasta. The service was good until after dinner when it was hard to grab out waiter's attention. Other than that, check it out next time you're near Fashion Square.
Oooooh la la! Tres bien! Un barman est exceptionnel! Cinq étoiles KUNI (if I still worked at Walt Disney World, I would steal him away from this place. He's just that good.) We ordered the caviar which is at a great price and remember caviar is not food, It's an experience so start with that add your dusky exceptional craft cocktail like I had a dirty martini with Chopin Of course Chopin! I was soooo busy drinking and visiting I didn't get a pic of our glorious salad.
I came to Francine for a girls birthday dinner and it happened to be restaurant week. Unfortunately, I was disappointed that our waiter didn't offer us the restaurant week menu, I had to ask for it. The waiter did not seem very thrilled that we asked for the restaurant week menu. Don't offer restaurant week if your wait staff is not openly telling your guests about the menu. We got a weird vibe that he didn't want to offer us the restaurant week menu because our party of 10 bill would be significantly less due to restaurant week. All of us did order off of the restaurant week menu because it was such a great deal, $55 for appetizer, entree and dessert. For appetizer you could pick between hummus and pita, beef tartare bites and endive salad. For the entree, you could pick between mushroom truffle rigatoni, salmon riverea and chicken supreme. And for dessert the options were berries tiramasu and sorbet duo. I ended up getting the beef tartare bites which I shared with my friend and she got the hummus which I tried too. Both were great. For my entree, I ordered the truffle mushroom rigatoni, it was absolutely fantastic. I could have licked my bowl. I would 100% order that again. For my dessert, I ordered their berries tiramisu. I enjoyed that dessert. It was a different twist on tiramisu. My friend ordered their sorbet duo which had coconut and strawberry. We LOVED the coconut! I tried their fire and ice cocktail, if you like mezcal this is a must try. I also loved their loud and clear cocktail, it had tequila, vanilla , honey dew and chamomile clarified. So good! The food was great, I was a little disappointed by the service but I will still come back and hope to have a better experience.
Girls' dinner at Francine in Scottsdale. We were a group of 10, and one of the girls had worked closely with the manager ahead of time to make sure there were vegan‑friendly options for us. Unfortunately, the waiter wasn't informed, so he had to check with the manager before we could place our orders, which delayed things a bit. Once the food started coming, it was really worth the wait! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. Traveling always reminds me how fun it is to explore a city through great meals and good company. Here's what I had: * Endive salad * Cauliflower steak * Ratatouille * Sorbet Overall, cozy spot with great energy. Definitely would come back for another girls' night with plant based options!
We came here for Valentine's Day and enjoyed our experience. Our waiter, August was really helpful and checked on us consistently throughout the night. We ordered the Whipped Feta as an appetizer cause the calamari was sold out but it was great! The pita bread was delicious as well. The chicken was really good, I got it with a side of mashed potatoes and think it paired really well. The chicken is slightly sweet, I think it is glazed in honey. He ordered the steak, which was good! Nothing too special. The ambiance is cute on the inside and outside. We got a spot outside which we were happy with because it was packed on the inside. I was not blown away with any of the food but it was definitely good!
My husband and I went to Francine for our anniversary. It's a beautiful space, very light and airy, oozes south of France. Elegant ambiance. We had the the mussels to start with a side of fries, because yes we needed to dip them in that delicious sauce! I had the Chilean Seabass and my husband had the Rack of Lamb. We had the Crème Brûlée for dessert. Everything was delicious. We would love to come back and try their Salt Crusted Branzino serve whole and flambéed table side. It looks very impressive and I'm a sucker for anything served table side. They also offer a prix fix menu for $65, which for this restaurant is a great deal!
Five stars all around. We came to Francine's to celebrate my graduation from ASU and we all had a wonderful experience. The place is huge and carefully decorated. It was perfect for our large group of 10 people. The food was excellent. Everything we had was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. The service was the best part...Teresa was fabulous and made my celebration extra special. We would highly recommend Francine for special occasions or if you just want a great dining experience.
Francine has my favorite espresso martini and happens to be across the street so we happen to frequent here a lot. The espresso martini is made with freshly pulled espresso versus like a cold brew concentrate or what other places use. The ambiance is great. It's very white, clean, crisp, modern. I think this is a great date night spot. I've had the mushroom pasta, bucatini, most of the crudo/hamachi section, etc etc. I preferred the mushroom pasta over the bucatini, I'm not sure if it was the bone marrow but the bucatini was extremely salty in my experience. I love the filet carpaccio. We tried the French toast and mushroom pasta yesterday. The French toast almost had like a delicious custard substance in the middle. It was really good. And the mushroom pasta I'd get again as well. I thought the pasta was cooked perfectly and have a deep love for anything truffle. I've only had dessert once and it was good but a pass for me. I'd just prefer the espresso martini for dessert here. I've never actually sat in the dining room, I prefer the bar top. The service is always very good. And I guess, it's obvious I'd return here because we eat or have a drink here probably biweekly.
beautiful restaurant interior and classic french fare with modern american twists. the ambiance was very nice and the service was attentive, despite a menu mishap that was compensated for. we had intended to order the crab salad, but was served salmon salad instead, despite the waiter not mentioning that the kitchen was out of crab. they only commented on this and apologized after we pointed it out, but at least offered to replace with another dish and a complimentary sparkling water for the inconvenience. the starting bread was a quality sourdough artisan bread, toasted well and paired with a fruity olive oil. i would have preferred the butter a bit more salted, and ideally house made, but the bread made up for it. the truffle mushroom rigatoni was a lovely dish, with a sharp acidity complementing the nuttiness of the fungus. a tad bit too oily, but ok. french dip was great as well, standout was the fries which were perfectly crispy and thin. moules frites were great - very flavorful broth and good portion. ratatouille was also pretty good, with a rich tomato paste flavor! both salads were a bit disappointing - bitter greens and plain veggie pairings with uninventive dressings. overall very reasonable french lunch location worth visiting if near the fashion square.
I have been here before for dinner and really liked it and decided to try for a brunch. Love the decor and the attention to details. Service is good and you have lots of small booths to sit at. The eggs Benedict were good. The eggs were poached well and the hollandaise sauce was on point. Would definitely recommend!
Great Ambiance, CS is superb. Food is amazing, cocktails and wine list is Superb. Angelo our Wait Person was attentive, knowledgeable and very entertaining Valet Parking is pricey, with 10% Surcharge for CC The Dining Experience was First Class, they got their stuff together, didn't have to wait for anything, from check in to check out! We will return.
After drinks at Zinque yesterday, we walked next door to Francine to try to get a burger. They were closing the kitchen soon so I felt bad. We sat at the bar. Bartender told us the burger was only served at specific times. 2nd failed attempt to get a burger lol. We asked which pasta was a red sauce pasta and the bartender said the Lobster Pasta was going to be the closest to a red sauce pasta so we ordered that and drinks. Everything was good! I've also had the sea bass here in the past and liked that! Our bartender was great!! Very knowledgeable and friendly. He even gave a discount for his second drink because he kinda forgot about the order. Our order: Pomme Citron cocktail $21 Extra Dirty Martini w/ blue cheese olives $22 & $10 Lobster Pasta $76
Food: I did the pri fixe menu and it's a great value for what you get! Appetizer, entree and dessert for $65. I started with the tuna tartare and it was delicious! The salmon rivera was good but nothing special. The profiteroles were sooo good! The chocolate pot de crème was my favorite. My boyfriend ordered the sea bass and I would definitely recommend it! We also ordered the ratatouille and it was bomb Service: our server, Teresa was amazing and she was so kind Ambiance: beautiful restaurant, great for a special occasion

Stopped in for a few bites before heading to the movies, and the grilled octopus, calamari, and roasted cauliflower were all delicious! The inviting ambiance and friendly, attentive service made it easy to relax and enjoy. A perfect start to our movie night would happily come back! read more

FRANCINE @ SCOTTSDALE The calamari at this location was AMAZING, also the mushroom rigatoni was good but I recommend asking for red chili flakes. The service was good and fast--really on top of refilling the waters throughout the meal. The place was extremely aesthetic and a little more higher end, i would say this is a great place to Sunday brunch if you want something nicer. read more

Let's be honest, Francine didn't close because of the staff. The restaurant ownership aka Laurent and Chef Remy who was reportedly making an enormous salary yet the restaurant failed to consistently deliver an experience that kept guests returning. In hospitality, throwing a fit over simple guest modifications instead of accommodating them is the opposite of what builds loyalty. At the end of the day, if the product and experience truly connect with people, the restaurant stays busy and guests come back. read more

What a gem! This is an absolute must try if you are in Scottsdale shopping at Fashion Square Mall. We had an amazing lunch and found a new favorite champagne while we were there! Our server, Eden and her assistant: Both were just phenomenal. Eden is so personable and best of all she's amazing at her craft. See you soon! The General Manager, Stanley J.: Extremely friendly, well dressed and came up the ranks from being a server. We discussed the food, the champagne, and a bit of the restaurant's history. Thanks for being so genuine and kind. We ordered the caviar, champagne, and the filet mignon carpaccio, and bread. The butter for the bread is extremely light and had course salt atop it. The caviar was as amazing as it looks. The filet mignon carpaccio is everything I would hope it would be and more. Just wow. The atmosphere was casual and our lunch was amazing. Thank you! We can't wait to come back soon. read more

This was my 3td visit to Francine. The aesthetics are beautifully thought out inside. It's elegant but also a fun vibe. I love craft cocktails and oui lychee and fire and ice are great! You must get the whipped goat cheese app. It has cucumber and pomegranate seeds (unique textures) with homemade pita naan bread. I've tried a few pasta and main dishes and all excellent. The menu changes seasonally. read more

I visited Francine with my family last night and we had such a lovely experience. Our server Gilbert was so sweet and Amanda was so helpful as well. They did a great job with accommodating the dietary restrictions we had, and everything was delicious! The octopus, the whole branzino, the cauliflower, and the coconut sorbet were standouts. Definitely try the Noh cocktail, it's so tasty (and super instagrammable as well)! read more

I made reservations for two on a Saturday night at 7 pm in the outdoor area. Be prepared to come to a popular destination on the weekends and mentally prepare to take a little bit of time to find parking. You can always valet too, if that's your thing. The outdoor area is nice where you can see all the people arriving. This is definitely a place to see and be seen, so make sure you dress appropriately. Lots of very well dressed people mingling in here. The waiter was excellent and very on point, made great suggestions, and was very good at taking care of people. I had the Fire and Ice cocktail, and it was a fantastic drink! Mezcal, just the way I like it. But at $21 a pop, this is a treat I will have once in awhile! For appetizers, we ordered the goat cheese and scallops, both were tasty and delicious. I tend to like my goat cheese a little less creamy, but that's just my preference. For entrees, we ordered a half rack of lamb and the Chilean sea bass with chermoula sauce. Both dishes were delicious, and the lamb was cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. I highly recommend this dish. The fish was good, especially with the chermoula sauce, and the veggies were good, but the dish could have come with a starch option. For dessert, we shared the profiterole. It was divine. Loved every bite! Overall, it was an excellent experience with great ambiance, beautifully well-dressed clientele, stellar wait service, delicious food with great presentation. Definitely come here to impress a date or pamper yourself for a nice evening out. We had a great time catching and definitely would come back! read more

My birthday lunch at Francine was perfection! Sean was my server and he was excellent! He took care of all my dining needs. Especially when I shared with him that I had a dairy allergy he assured me of my choices and said that the restaurant could accommodate my needs. The ambiance during lunch is light and airy making this time very enjoyable! Next up will be a return for dinner! read more
My friend and I decided to go to Francine. I'm so glad her pick for our dinning experience was such a hit for the both of us. Prior to arriving I looked at the menu and read reviews, i was on the 50/50 being a good or an okay experience. I'm glad our experience at Francine was great considering some consider it own of the best French restaurant in town. For our meals we ordered the whipped goat cheese, wild bay scallops, Chilean sea bass, half rack of lamb and the maxi profiteroles. The whipped goat was so smooth, it threw me for a loop because I'm used goat cheese a little on the chunky side. The wild bay scallops was good, really buttery but it felt like 6 small pieces in the plate. The Chilean sea bass was absolutely delicious. The chermoula dressing really brought it together. I just wish for the price you pay, you get a little bit more for the dish. The lamb we ordered medium well, and it was chefs kiss. Nicely done, juicy and tender. The maxi profiteroles were basically crème puff filled with ice cream. It was definitely hit the spot of wanting something sweet after a great meal. Shout out to our waiter in great recommendations. The whole staff were welcoming, well dressed and were on top on their game. I do recommend any going to Francine to dress really nice. It was like a mini fashion show with all the well dressed people. I'll definitely love to be come back to Francine because I loved the atmosphere. Seating outside, enjoying a lovely meal during spring time is always a great time in my books. read more

Is there a kids menu available?
Have you guys changed your menu to summer menu?
Hello .. we still have a lot of spring ingredients like peas and asparagus … we are waiting for heirloom tomatoes zucchini and strawberries to switch to summer ingredients . Come to try our new branzino with zucchini .
How well can you accomodate a guest with a severe gluten allergy? Can someone that need gluten free options dine here and have something besides salads?
We do have several dishes that are gluten free or can be modded to gluten free, but our kitchen is not gluten free so there would be risk of cross contamination.
Are non-service dogs allowed on the outdoor patio seating area?
yes :) looking forward to serving you
Does anyone know if they can accommodate gluten free with plenty of options?
You definitely can some options that are gluten free.
