"Francis serves a great burger. A few, in fact: a taco-seasoned Impossible burger, a garlicky black bean burger, even a Juicy Lucy stuffed with vegan cheese. But it’s not only Francis’s delectably greasy meat-free burgers that make it stand out in the Twin Cities vegan scene; the restaurant’s bar program is entirely free of animal-derived dyes, additives, and fining agents. You won’t find Negronis made with dyes from crushed beetles, wines filtered through fish bladders, or beers sweetened with lactose on this menu. In addition to the original Northeast location, there’s a new outpost in Longfellow." - Stacy Brooks
