Fran's Restaurant and Bar

Went for breakfast through recommendation. They have an all day breakfast option and also more choices for lunch and dinner . The pancakes were awesome and eggs benedict were decent too. Unlimited coffee too. Service was good considering how busy was it , although I think they can use another server . Took me 10 minutes just to get their attention for bill. The girls were simply too busy , the gentleman who is showing people to the table can probably do a bit more. If you looking for a classic American diner and good food , this is a good spot .

Stopped by Fran's Restaurant yesterday for the first time. We were seated promptly and our food came pretty quickly. Although there is a limited selection of gluten-friendly options (you have to ask the server for what's available), I was able to order an omelette and gluten-friendly home-fries (these are different, and smaller, than the regular home fries - but you get a lot). My companions had a traditional breakfast, and liver and onions. Our server, Lucia, was friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was great; the missing star is for the state of the washrooms. Will return when I'm in the mood for another omelette. It was tasty!

A very caring and a friendly staff. I went and sat at the bar and the server gave me a glass of water even before anything. Almost never happens nowadays. This place has a very yesteryear classy restaurant vibes. Most importantly they don't expect you to scan a QR code to see the menu. And, the menu itself was super clean. There seems to be a passion in running this place. A must visit if you are around. It's genuinely clean, low background music, caring staff and good food. I had veggie omelet that they had listed in their menu as vegetarian . But no complaints for this innocence. Also, I would have given 5 stars for the atmosphere but I was told they don't have a wifi for public. Thanks so much to Sebastien and Elle for being such caring persons.

Casual vibes at Fran’s Restaurant and Bar — a beloved Toronto diner since 1940! Fast service, classic comfort food, and friendly staff. Enjoyed a juicy Canadian Burger with crispy fries and local draft beers — 3 Speed (Amsterdam Brewery) and Steam Whistle Pilsner. Perfect combo of Canadian flavor and retro charm ???????? Highly recommended if you’re looking for a relaxed meal in downtown Toronto!

Fran’s is a solid spot if you’re around the college area. The service is friendly and usually pretty quick, even when it’s busy. The place has that classic diner vibe—casual and comfortable, nothing fancy but welcoming. The menu is big with lots of options, from all-day breakfast to burgers and comfort food. Portions are generous and prices are reasonable for the area. Great for grabbing a late-night meal or a casual bite with friends.

No frills, no nonsense. Keep it simple and keep it good. Staff is friendly, efficient and knowledgeable of the menu. Seating is plentiful, they have a lower level of the first floor is crowded. Atmosphere is nice and comfy. Old but clean. Menu is large and offers all sorts of foods including all-day breakfast, lunch and dinner options along with a large drink menu. The food itself is actually quite good, I wasn’t expecting anything spectacular considering it’s a 24hr restaurant but the breakfast steak & eggs, sausage and pancakes were something I’d come back for. Coffee is good too, not acidic like most other places. I would recommend to anyone that’s in a group trying to decide where to eat on the fly. There’s something for everyone and it’s priced modestly.
