Frank & Laurie's

Best Restaurants in Providence, Rhode Island | Eater Boston

"One of Providence’s most highly anticipated restaurant openings of 2024, Frank & Laurie’s is the first permanent project from chef Eric Brown and his wife, co-owner Sara Watts. (Brown had previously been operating the acclaimed pop-up Thick Neck inside the Dean Hotel.) Named after Brown’s maternal grandparents, this sunny neighborhood spot serves brunch and lunch from Wednesday through Sunday — the crispy pancakes and custardy quiche are must-orders — plus a weekly dinner service on Friday nights called Frank at Night. There, Brown riffs with whatever he’s got on hand at the time, from roasted rutabaga with smoked clothbound cheddar and apple to whole-roasted flounder paired with a spruce tip sauce." - Jenna Pelletier
