About Le Frerot by Franca

Le Frerot by Franca brings Parisian bistro energy to Macleay Street without the stiff pretension or eye-watering bills. The kitchen balances neighborhood warmth with serious technique from morning coffee through late-night service. Tables fill quickly for the signature *hors d'œuvres*—think freshly shucked oysters and an airy fromage soufflé. Mains like the seared steak draped in sauce verte and tender roast duck come paired with bottomless, golden frites. Locals cap off the evening with a slice of tarte du jour or the silky, caramel-slicked custard.

  • Bottomless Frites: Mains like steak with sauce verte or tender duck are served alongside unlimited refills of hot fries.
  • Bistro Classics: Neighborhood regulars turn out for standout starters like the fromage soufflé and melt-in-the-mouth crab omelettes.
  • All-Day Neighborhood Spot: Runs continuously from morning espresso and breakfast through midday plates to evening cocktails and dinner.

  • Duck

    I really enjoyed the duck and the tarte du jour.

  • Crab omelette

    The crab omelette was ridiculously delicious as the egg was solid when being cut but melt inside your mouth easily. The crab meat was very fresh.
