My family and I have always wanted to try the American style breakfast, and this place just hits the spot. The location was convenient for us as it is nearby our hotel. We had breakfast here for two days in a row. Absolutely love the retro diner vibe, and the food is delicious too. Big portions and very flavorful, we especially love their maple syrup! The server was attentive and really lovely, making sure that we are enjoying our meal as well as refilling our drinks. Would love to eat here again next time we visit Toronto.
Hands down one of the BEST meals we've had in Toronto! The pancakes were buttery and fluffy and melted in our mouths. The homefries were seasoned to perfection. The bacon and sausage were flavorful, too. If you're looking for a great affordable breakfast, Fran's is the place to go!
Petit déjeuner typique canadien, bon accueil sympa. Très bon petit dej. Œufs, saucisses, pancakrs et smoothies frais
Un restaurant sympathique , avec un bel accueil , ou nous avons pu déjeuner à 15h30 ( toujours surprenant pour des français non habitués à cela ! ).... carte classique d'un dinner , mais gouteux et généreux.
