Fran's Restaurant

We came here on December 23rd 😅 a really busy time for popular places like Fran's. Fran's had their full course christmas dinner menus so understandably, waiting times were at a high. We were craving breakfast for dinner and so we got the vegetarian plate and the veggies omelette. Both came with toast and homefries. On the vegetarian plate I asked for my eggs scrambled 😋 The dishes were good 👍 the service was great and welcoming and the atmosphere...absolutely festive 🥰❄️🎄☃️❄️

I had Steven (or Stephen! Sorry in advance if I got that mistaken) who was an amazing server. Made the whole experience feel wonderful as it was my first time going to this diner with my girlfriend. The food was delicious, well priced, and the fact that it is open 24/7 is stellar. I ordered the Big Breakfast (I think it was called), and my girlfriend ordered a French Onion soup with a Lime pie? I forget. Either way, it was awesome! I felt no pressure to order quickly, and was accommodated. Steven was superb. My girlfriend also loved the service and food here and she and I plan on visiting this place more often! I seriously recommend this diner. As someone who loves diners and diner food, this place absolutely hit every checkbox in my checklist. 10/10! - Gavin

Before covid this place was great. I had to be at st Michaels for a family member who is very sick. I thought some good old comfort food from Frans would help me smile. Wow I had to ask few times if there was a server. The girl who sat me said sit and wait. WOW ! So few minutes later waitress asked are yuh ready to order ? lol yes a while ago. Then while being served a man came to the waitress and said that that was his table she said do you want to take over. Wow !! The first coffee was great I was tired up for many hours I did enjoyed it. After a while I was asked if I wanted another coffee. Yes please. Well I had to add three milk as it was old coffee not good at all . The eggs Benny that used to be great had little sauce and no lemon as well the fruit was hard inedible shame !! Ok but you know what your service sucks and your food is 3 rd rated. Do not go here. Senator up the street way better. Close down stop shaming a good memory. Your workers suck and are rude to be honest. Worst experience !!! Avoid oh and that’s not all I had to ask to pay. And was told by greeter to sit and wait. I am 60 years old. That was a disgusting way to be treated. I even gave 18 % tip making my bill over $23.00 for garbage. So upset how you people are ruining our good spots to eat. So selfish.Just ate at the Senator Restaurant one block from Fran’s. Amazing food service 5 star. Worth the walk. Just north of Fran’s on Victoria. Best ever. And you will leave aiming not disappointed like crapy Fran’s ew. So bad there. I heard from my brother a few years ago a rat walked through the place. Omg shut down

I had the tuna fish wrap with salad and my companions had the veggie burger and Baja Chicken wrap with fries. All were pretty good and nice size portions. They serve all day breakfast which looked pretty good. Pur server was very friendly. Good place for a casual meal and close to Young st and hospital.

The food is affordable, the rye bread tastes like actual rye bread, and they keep your cup of coffee full. I've been coming for years by myself or with friends and its always worth the trip. My only complaint is I do miss when they were open for dine in 24/7. They still do takeout at night but I miss having somewhere to sit and eat all hours of the night. Hope they bring that back soon 🙏

For those who love a complete, typically local breakfast, and with lots of energy, Fran’s is certainly a great option for your meal. The restaurant is well located, close to bus and metro stops, as well as having private parking in the area and paid parks. The place is usually very busy and there is a waiting list, especially if you are more than 3 people. So, plan ahead and arrive early. The prices of the meals are ok, with something for everyone and everyone's taste. The coffee is refillable, so take advantage of it. The flavor of all the food is very pleasant, so you'll leave satisfied. The service is very good, but a little chaotic, perhaps due to the number of customers. Accessibility for customers with disabilities is not the best. There is no menu in Braille, the entrance and exit do not have automatic closing and the transition within the salon is very tight. To go to the bathroom, the door has a code, ask an employee. For those traveling with children, there are high chairs, but there are no changing tables in the bathrooms. If you are in the area, it is worth visiting and seeing your experience.

While visiting town, a friend recommended I eat here as I was trying to eat some breakfast before meeting up with them. It has a local diner feel and the food did not disappoint. I ordered the Big Breakfast and oh boy, was it a lot of food!! The pancakes were delicious, fluffy and soft, the sausage was cooked to perfection. But the cherry on top was the service. My server was attentive, friendly and on top of everything, anticipating my needs. I did not need to ask her to refill my water or coffee, she was constantly checking in to see how I was doing. Overall, a great experience for my first day in Toronto.
