"Fine dining — even the casual variety that this Westmount French restaurant espouses — has been unquestionably hit hard during the pandemic, but La Franquette has managed to get by thanks to some loyal customers in the neighbourhood. Now that plein air eating is allowed, La Franquette plans to offer the curated experiences it intended when it first opened in December on long tables on Victoria Avenue. Expect a seasonal menu of dishes like steak frites with herb butter and chicken liver parfait with house-made baguette baked daily from a 70-year-old sourdough starter." - Joel Balsam
