We had an exceptional dining experience at Bistro Franc before our flight back to Singapore. Trying the best local cuisine was on our bucket list, and this highly-recommended bistro did not disappoint. Conveniently located near our hotel on Lime Street, we were warmly welcomed by Peter, our attentive server who made us feel right at home. The lamb shanks were absolutely divine - a must-try when visiting Liverpool! This hidden gem, coupled with the city's renowned hospitality and passion for football, makes Liverpool a truly unforgettable destination. You'll Never Walk Alone indeed!

We visited the Bistro Franc for dinner on a week night and were not disappointed. On arrival, we were immediately shown to our table. Restaurant does get very busy so will highly recommend booking ahead. Service was amazing, quick, friendly, and very polite. Food was cooked to perfection, and all our meals were yummy. I would highly recommend the lamb shank. It comes in a very generous portion. All in all, we had a great night and I would highly recommend the Bistro Franc in liverpool

I came here for my last meal of 2024 and I was so happy for the decision! All staff were friendly and lovely every single moment. Foods were quick and tasty. Can't find any tiny disappointment or things to improve. I'll definitely come back for more delicious food I haven't tried. If you live in Liverpool and haven't visited this place yet, that should be shame!

Came here on a Sunday for the Sunday roast, and wow—what a meal. Got the lamb shank, and honestly, one of the best I’ve ever had. So tender, so flavorful, and totally worth the 18 (if I remember right). But the real star? The gravy. My partner and I couldn’t get enough—we even ordered extra because it was that good. Service was top-notch too! The staff were super polite and welcoming, and one in particular stood out. I didn’t catch her name, but she worked on 9/3/2025 around 1-2 PM, and she was an absolute gem. So friendly and just made the experience even better—thank you! Loved the whole vibe too—felt like I was in a classic restaurant or something. Definitely coming back! Many thanks from Jakarta

Absolutely wonderful place to enjoy a meal. Been here twice, once for dinner, another for lunch. Both times were great! Our server, Lily, was our favourite. She was friendly, attentive and gives great food great food suggestions. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Excellent food quality, tastes good. Love the Nicoise salad w seared tuna steak (my to-go dish there), lamb shank was lovely and the seasonal crumble was to-die-for. They offer some value set for 2-courses that go with wine or Prosecco on weekdays. Going to give that a try next time. Will definitely be back for more!

I would highly recommend this beautiful place, I was in with my family yesterday and nothing seemed to disappoint my dad who always moans but he loved it and the staff are so helpful. He had the lamb shank and licked the plate clean, my mother had the salmon and I had the tuna which was divine. I would recommend all the food, we always go here so we will definitely be returning more often Thank you.

Second time here from Manchester – lamb shank (with extra gravy) was absolutely amazing! Will definitely be coming back for a third time. Waitress (sorry didn’t get her name) was brilliant too!

This meal was seriously a 12/10. Who knew kale could taste so good? The service was great, seats were separated nicely. I had a solo dinner but I didn’t feel judged for being alone. Would come back when I’m back in Liverpool!
