“Fantastic bar and restaurant. Really liked the decor and ambience; food was gorgeous. We loved everything we ordered and will be happy to go back to not only have these things again but also try the other things on the menu. However, the real highlight was the exceptional service. All the staff were so attentive, responsive and friendly - they couldn't do enough for us to ensure we had a great experience. We also appreciated the thoughtful little extras. We will definately be back. Thanks Bar Franco!"

“This was my favorite dining experience in my time in New Zealand. The service was phenomenal; the host was incredibly kind, warm, and welcoming. Our server was meticulous, attentive, and gave great recommendations. The food was fantastic and everything was fresh and full of flavour.
The cocktails were excellent as well. I’ll gladly recommend Bar Franco to anyone I know traveling to Christchurch.
Thank you for a great evening!
