I started with the onion soup, which was easily the saddest onion soup I've had in France. The flavor was good, but it just had some shredded cheese sprinkled on the top, not bruleed as advertised on the menu. For my main course, I had the roast duck. I ordered it medium, but it was totally overcooked and tough, with no pink inside at all. It made me feel bad that a duck lost its life just to be overcooked. The duck was beautifully presented, though, with a side of carrots, mashed veggies, and a mini mushroom crepe on the side. The sides were easily the best part of the meal. Service was good, and I liked the wine that I had. Sadly, I wouldn't go back because of the food quality.

The two of us each got the lunch formule, which included an appetizer and an entree or an entree and a dessert; we both opted for the former combo. I got the "fondue," which was not what it sounded like. It was more like mini pizzas with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese on baguette slices. Delicious nonetheless. My boyfriend ordered a chevre salad. The goat cheese was plentiful, and spiced with sun dried tomatoes and chives. For our entrees, we ordered salmon with a cream sauce and magret de canard (duck breast). Both were great. The salmon was cooked well, and the sauce was very good, albeit very heavy. The duck was moist on the inside with crispy skin, and also had a nice sauce. Both dishes came with a half of a baked tomato covered in breadcrums - interesting, but not my favorite part of the meal. The waitress was very nice, even when she got overwhelmed by about 40 loud tourists who came in mid-way through our meal (we were quiet tourists, of course). If I'm ever back in Fontainbebleau then I'll definitely come back here.

An exceptional, charming English-style pub located in the heart of Fontainebleau…read more When the highly-rated Restaurant La Petite Ardoise turned us away for not having a reservation, we wandered up the street slightly and we're charmed by the menu and the emptyness of Le Franklin. Turns out, this was a blessing in disguise for what turned out to be one of the best meals of our trip in France. I've always loved pub and bistro fare and ambiance, and Le Franklin was no exception. Besides the necessary plate of cheese and charcuterie for apero, we ordered exclusively off of the daily specials menu: Châtaigne Veloute (Chestnut Soup) and a cut of steak referred to as a "fuax fillet". The soup is served with a dollop of creme fraiche, while the steak comes with a side of the most delicious thick-cut fries and sautéed veggies. It is difficult with all the goodness, but you must save room for dessert, as there is a seemingly never-ending list of goodies make in-house. We landed on the Profitroles and Tarte Tatin - both of which are difficult to find traditional examples of in the States. Runners up included Mousse au chocolate and a Speculoos cake. Service was excellent and even with all of our indulgences, the bill came out to around $35 a person - more than reasonable.

I let the server recommended me a wine, I had the best 7 euro glass of wine ever. Our server at the end of the night was so witty, her jokes in English were so good, and her English was terrible. I wish I spoke French so I could hear her jokes in her language, I bet they would have been even better. Over all it was the best experience, best food, and worth the prices.
