Lonely Planet review for Franklin Café
Once a favorite neighborhood restaurant (and that’s saying something in this restaurant-rich neighborhood), the Franklin has been discovered by outsiders. It’s still friendly and hip – a fantastic spot for people-watching (especially the beautiful boys in the ’hood). The menu is New American comfort food prepared by a gourmet chef: duck pot pie with root vegetables and cranberry jam or oyster mushroom ravioli in sage brown butter. There is a new outlet in South Boston, Franklin Southie.
