Le Franklin Roosevelt

The food was below average for a bistrot : the fries and the bacon in the dishes were not crispy and the wine was served too warm and already oxydated (like the bottle had been opened for 2 weeks)… also some annoying started to play horrible music on the square when I atemon the terrasse… Idid not stay for the dessert.

This was a nice venue with lovely staff and they were also open on Sunday. The beef carpaccio was tasty but unfortunately, the rest of our order felt a bit dated and old fashioned. The salmon tartare was so-so as was the duck confit and baked aubergine. The menu could do with a bit of a refresh.

Nice restaurant with good food and service. Prawns with chorizo was very nice. Same thing with salmon tartare. Steak with red wine sauce was also highly recommended. I would give 5 stars if my pork was better seasoned.

Le Franklin restaurant in downtown Fontainebleau is a fantastic dining spot. The service is top-notch. During our visit, we unintentionally ordered a salad with goat cheese and honey that contained bacon, which was a problem for us as vegetarians. The restaurant staff handled the situation with incredible kindness and understanding. They promptly replaced the salad with a vegetarian version at no extra cost, demonstrating their professionalism. For those who aren't vegetarians, the boudin noir is a delightful choice, bursting with rich flavor. The restaurant's décor exudes a warm and quintessentially French atmosphere. Our experience at Le Franklin was excellent, and we wholeheartedly recommend this charming restaurant in the city center. A heartfelt thank you to the outstanding team who made our dining experience exceptional.

Everything is good in this restaurant. I took the sausage with aligo, it was very tasty I really enjoyed it. I took as the dessert a pie called '' tarte façon tatin'' and it was great best apple pie ever. The service was quick and efficient. I highly recommend this place, good traditional French dishes served.

Great, tasty food and cozy ambience. Service might be exceptional for European tastes as well, but coming from the US, I would have preferred a bit more attention and faster reaction by the wait staff, so take the four stars with a big grain of salt.

Very nice and cozy restaurant in Fontainebleau! Had dinner there with a couple of friends and we were able to try several options from the menu - I would highly recommend all of them! For appetizers we had the foie gras and the Brie cheese rolled in a dough. For main courses we tried the beef carpaccio, the entrecote and the tuna steak. Portions were huge and service was very good. The restaurant has an extensive wine list and the overall price was 40eur/person.

Great atmosphere, amazing food, but without the bitter aftertaste of a high bill! I thoroughly enjoyed my evening here

An exceptional, charming English-style pub located in the heart of Fontainebleau. When the highly-rated Restaurant La Petite Ardoise turned us away for not having a reservation, we wandered up the street slightly and we're charmed by the menu and the emptyness of Le Franklin. Turns out, this was a blessing in disguise for what turned out to be one of the best meals of our trip in France. I've always loved pub and bistro fare and ambiance, and Le Franklin was no exception. Besides the necessary plate of cheese and charcuterie for apero, we ordered exclusively off of the daily specials menu: Châtaigne Veloute (Chestnut Soup) and a cut of steak referred to as a "fuax fillet". The soup is served with a dollop of creme fraiche, while the steak comes with a side of the most delicious thick-cut fries and sautéed veggies. It is difficult with all the goodness, but you must save room for dessert, as there is a seemingly never-ending list of goodies make in-house. We landed on the Profitroles and Tarte Tatin - both of which are difficult to find traditional examples of in the States. Runners up included Mousse au chocolate and a Speculoos cake. Service was excellent and even with all of our indulgences, the bill came out to around $35 a person - more than reasonable.

As you go farther outside Paris, the meals become heartier. This place has large portion sizes (by French standards) and is carb-heavy with generous servings of mashed potatoes, wild rice, and squash. It worked out perfectly because my brother was dining with me tonight and I think that this restaurant was perfect for him. I know that he wouldn't have been satisfied with just a cheese plate and some salad, which is what I got.

Je suis une touriste visitant Fontainebleau pour deux semaines. Hier soir je voudrais tellement diner chez Le Nouveau Franklin (une endroit que plusieurs amis m'avez recommande) et quand j'ai demande une table pour une personne, on m'a dit: "no madame, nous n'avons pas des tables pour une personne" J'etais desole et aussi etonne que vous ne pouviez pas accommoder une touriste affame qui voulait tellement manger et avoir une bonne soiree chez vous!! Incroyable!! I am a tourist in Fontainebleau for 2 weeks. I did my research and found Le Franklin Roosevelt a perfect place to have a nice dinner. To my surprise, when I arrived to the restaurant and asked for a table for one, they said "No madame, we dont have tables for one person" This is discrimination and beyond rude, very disappointing and unfair!!! I do not recommend this place!!
