We headed to the Franklin Cafe last night in the South End. I’ve been wanting to try this place since September but have never had the opportunity until now. The atmosphere is warm and cozy and the food was yummy. I ordered the steak frites and Zan decided to go with the duck. Delicious food. Mine was pretty standard, no surprises there. The duck came with a thin side of mashed potatoes and currants. We both enjoyed our food but decided by the end of the night that we would rather go back to Toro next time. Not that The Franklin Cafe isn’t good, because it is, but Toro offers a really fun ambience that is fun and different for a night out in Boston. The Franklin Cafe gets a 7 out of 10 from me. Good, hearty food. A great place for a cold winters night.
