About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Good for groups
  • Great for creative cocktails

Francie is a Michelin-starred New York Brasserie with Italian and French influence.  Francie is located in a limestone-clad former bank building and has the feel of a neighborhood gathering place. James Beard Nominated Chef-Owner Chris Cipollone and Pastry Chef Justin Binnie serve a seasonal menu inspired by European flavors and designed for flexibility:  bar snacks, shellfish, handmade pastas and the famous Crown Roast of Rohan Duck.  Save room for the last remaining cheese cart in NYC.  Wines from around the world and classic cocktail list are presented with a flourish of seamless hospitality.  Private Dining in The Vault, the former bank vault, is a memorable experience.

    Very handsome place with very good service. Wines by the glass were very good. Star of the show was that incredible duck breast! Delicious & huge portions. Lobster ravioli appetizer was missing the lobster. Not as pictured. Service was very good throughout.

    Delicious food! Delicious drinks! Angel and the supporting table staff were incredible. I actually can’t stop thinking about our meal. I second Angel’s recommendations: soufflé cakes, oysters, Artichoke, Conchiglie, Lasagna, their Duck, Sour Cherry Pie and the Canard au Citron!! We will definitely return to relive this experience!
