Wow, where do I start? From the moment you step foot in this beautiful location, you feel the warm welcome. A friend told me of Frenchy’s so we have planned my welcome back brunch there and was not disappointed. Every meal we had was so full of flavor and they all took presentation to the next level. I’m told to come back for dinner and I will soon, because if it gets better than what we had, this is definitely going to be one of my new favorite places to send friends over as well.

Great French Restaurant in Hillcrest. We had their Bastille Day 3 course meal with wine pairing. Everything was delicious and had good proportions. I am glad that they are on the InKind app, otherwise I wouldn’t have tried it. Definitely going back again.

My gosh, the best. The food was soooo good. The drinks as well. Super cute and delicious we ordered them twice. They were strong also! Hhahha my boyfriend and I had a lot of fun let's just say that. Michael and Paola are the best host! We ordered the onion soup, carpaccio, beef, ratatouille. ALL perfect and very generous portions. Ah, we also got a baguette twice with a beautiful garlic butter. If you don't like butter this is not the place for you a lot was used and I loved it.....Personally, I don't trust people who don't like garlic hahha

Everything was prepared and presented impeccably, and Frenchy is a wonderful and sincere host. The portions are large, and the food is authentic (no fusion). Atmosphere is cozy, chic, and a relaxing hideout indeed. Very glad to have this gem in our neighborhood, and we will return with friends and family!

We visited this cozy French restaurant in Hillcrest on Saturday evening right after the New Year, and it was a wonderful experience. Some Christmas decorations were still up. It’s family-owned, and you’ll often see the husband and wife greeting guests, serving tables, and checking in. Even though they’ve been open less than a year, the restaurant already has a great buzz. The space is small and fills up fast, so reservations are highly recommended. We ordered the Tuna Crudo, Roasted Beet Salad, Wild King Atlantic Salmon, Duck Confit, and Red Wine Poached Pear. Everything was excellent, but the Duck Confit completely stood out—by far the best duck dish I’ve ever had, incredibly tender with a unique flavor. I’ll definitely be back just for that. The bread shown in photos must be ordered separately for an extra charge. I want to come to try other dishes as well.
