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.

As you go farther outside Paris, the meals become heartier.

It worked out perfectly because my brother was dining with me tonight and I think that this restaurant was perfect for him. I know that he wouldn't have been satisfied with just a cheese plate and some salad, which is what I got.

The restaurant itself isn't small, but really not big, so it's definitely worthwhile to make a reservation at least a week or so on advance, otherwise you're pushing your luck. Everyone ordered steak frites (2 rump steak, 2 flank) and no one was disappointed. Steaks were cooked to order, although medium here in France is more like medium rare in the States, just be advised. The restaurant itself is lively and fun with lots of chatting, laughing and good times being shared. Desserts were Crème Brûlée and Apple Crumble, neither of which were disappointing. We definitely enjoyed our dinner and would likely return again. This time with a reservation made well in advance.

The pork chop was overcooked in a very stinky cheese sauce, and my beef tartare was doused in some kind of sauce, killing the taste completely. Cocktails are ok.

The signs past new management Andre had a rockstar dinner for 48 Euros. The chef trained in the UK and is a master of fresh ingredients. He serves what us fresh and does it unassumingly and beautifully. We started with a avocado and shrimp salad and fresh asparagus, then had veal stew and scorpion fish and finished with panna cotta and Apple pie. Lovely staff, who are super friendly. The place looks new and I would love for them to succeed. Make a stop--I promise it's worth your trip and it is leaps and bounds fresher (and cheaper) than a meal you'd find in Paris!
