A quick impromptu lunch needed locally found us at Franks Canteen. Small but fully formed, grabbed some corn fritters off the Brunch Menu and was not disappointed. Flavorful, fresh and an interesting take on the traditional. Swapped out the poached for a fried egg done very well as requested - perfect! Would definitely like to come back to try the Apricot Brulee on the evening special menu, and the BYOB on Wednesdays is another draw to returning.

For a midweek dinner with friends, our Highbury neighbourhood bistro Frank's Canteen is always a popular choice. The menu changes often, with great variety across a choice of snacks, small and large plates. The cooking is brilliant, the duck with sweetcorn and girolles was tender and perfectly pink, the sauce was super delicious. Our preferred wine was out of stock, sadly, but we drank plenty of Côtes du Rhone instead. My friend Kim summed it up: "Frank's is my new favourite restaurant. Brilliant food and wine, no pretentious stuff. Love it.'
