WHO WE ARE:

Café François is a bustling local canteen with style, where there is something for everyone. The Café transforms throughout the day to meet the needs of its regulars. Coffee and breakfast first thing, lunch to go or eat-in, brunch at the weekend, and a bar in the evenings with simple, tasty dishes.
Drawing together inspiration from the iconic cafés of Paris, the hip new wave delis of California, and the stylish bistros of Montreal, Café François meets the need of locals and tourists alike, offering a refuge from the hustle and bustle of the market, morning, noon and night, seven days a week.
Café Francois works with amazing suppliers and focusing menus on seasonality and sustainability.
