Bar \u00e0 vin Frank\u2019s<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Founder Fran\u00e7ois O\u2019Neill has taken inspiration from his favourite spots in Paris and New York, from sampling the all-natural wines at\u00a0<\/span>La Cave Septime<\/span><\/a>\u00a0or standing at the bar with small plates at\u00a0<\/span>Pierre Touitou\u2019s Deviant<\/span><\/a>, to watching Brooklyn-<\/span>ites<\/span>\u00a0in\u00a0<\/span>Hotel\u00a0<\/span>Delman<\/span>o<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Descending the intertwined stairs, guests will be welcomed by the impressive central bar and laid-back industrial cool of Frank\u2019s, dreamt up and designed by John Whelan at\u00a0<\/span>The Guild of Saint Luke<\/span><\/a>. With low lighting, polished concrete floors, black leather banquettes and mirror-lined whitewashed brick walls giving a nod to the bar\u2019s 70\u2019s architectural inspiration.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The menu, alongside the d\u00e9cor, will also be a departure from the\u00a0<\/span>brasserie<\/span>\u00a0Maison Fran\u00e7ois<\/span><\/a>\u00a0upstairs, while retaining its focus on simplicity and carefully sourced produce. An ever-changing menu using some of Fran\u00e7ois\u2019s and Exec Chef Matthew Ryle\u2019s favourite ingredients will be served from 5pm onwards, seven days a week.\u00a0 The menu will include a selection of decadent sandwiches, including their French onion soup toastie or the crispy calves\u2019 brains with sauce ravigote in a house-baked milk bun. There will also be some daily changing specials such as,\u00a0<\/span>l\u2019escargots<\/span>\u00a0de Bourgogne and bone marrow on toast to a summer salad of tomatoes and anchovies. Joining these will be Maison Fran\u00e7ois\u2019s much-loved p\u00e2t\u00e9\u00a0<\/span>en<\/span>\u00a0croute\u00a0<\/span>maison<\/span>, oeuf\u00a0<\/span>en<\/span>\u00a0gel\u00e9e or jambon noir de\u00a0<\/span>Bigorre<\/span>\u00a0sliced at the bar.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0As the night draws in, the music is turned up and Frank\u2019s comes into its own, serving glasses of the good stuff from a bold two hundred strong list of small production natural wines and quirky biodynamics alongside more established French producers. For those looking for a one-off, the team will be cracking open magnums from legendary winemakers and powerhouse\u00a0<\/span>domaines<\/span>, providing a special accompaniment to a plate (or two).\u00a0 The bar will also serve a number of Fran\u00e7ois\u2019s favourite cocktails with simple, refined classics such as the Frank\u2019s 75 or a white port Negroni<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Frank\u2019s will open from midday through to the evenings seven days a week from Monday 17th May.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>The full food menu is available from 5pm \u2013 12am daily. From midday \u2013 5pm drinks and a reduced menu are available.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
