Tucked inside The Crossing, Bar Franco brings bold Italian flavour and late-night charm to the heart of the city. Whether it's a long-overdue dinner, a low-key date, or a spontaneous catch-up, Bar Franco is built for good food, good wine, and even better company.
Open from early evening, the atmosphere shifts from relaxed to electric as the night rolls on. Upstairs is all about shared plates and conversation. Downstairs, the Bar keeps the tempo with well-made drinks and a bit of buzz.
The menu draws from Italian roots but leans into fresh, seasonal ingredients and generous, punchy flavours. Gnocchi alla vodka with nduja and stracciatella, risotto milanese, and Bar Franco's crowd-favourite tiramisu are just a few of the dishes that keep people coming back. And the spritzes? Crisp, bright, and exactly what one desires in hand as the night begins.
Ultimately, Bar Franco is a place to start the evening, settle in, and stay longer than planned.
