10Best Says

Chef Franck Peissel oversees this refurbished cottage home that prepares fine American dishes, French-styled and influenced. Try Franck's Southern Coconut & Lemongrass Chicken or Duck Breast with Potato Gratin and Japanese eggplant. Located adjacent to the also romantic, yet much larger Tuscany, Franck's is a more intimate restaurant, with seating for just 50. Make reservations early. Special offerings include an Artisanal Wagyu Burger and a Beer on Monday nights for just $25. On "Tasting Tuesdays," enjoy the three course tasting menu for $30. Also look for hosted wine dinners at Franck's. Calfiornia estate wineries offer their best selections with your meal. Franck's is only open until 9pm, so plan accordingly. Gift cards are available. Come and taste for yourself what has everyone in this quaint little neighborhood in southeast Salt Lake raving about.
