Soak in the only unobstructed view of beautiful Takapuna Beach at Franc’s, just a few steps from street to sand. Our beachside diner smacks of fresh fish, crisp lager, flopping jandals and easy service from sunrise to sunset. Bring yourself, or bring your friends, and relax among the colourful sights and sounds of summer all year round.
Say g'day to Adam, chief joybringer at Franc's.

Every Monday / Franc's Bar & Diner
It seems dollar coins have become under-appreciated, left on bed side tables, neglected in the very bottom of your purse and somewhat useless because of inflation. So we've decided to give you an excuse to dig through the bottom of the couch and look under your car floor mats.
Every Monday we'll be serving up Franc's XXL Wings for $1 each!
T&C's apply. This promotion is for dine-in only
/ Franc's Bar & Diner
We reckon beer is meant for sharing, so we've got two of our tastiest beer jugs on special for a limited time!
Enjoy our Sweat Shop and Tiger jugs for only $30 each
Every day / Franc's Bar & Diner
Franc’s offers a variety of options for special diets (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and more), so families, friends and colleagues can make choices from the same menu. Everyone brings something to the table, so let’s eat together!
Our menu is created and assembled by our chefs to offer a balance of creative, and nutritious dishes that can be enjoyed daily. We draw on our Americana influence and our love of contemporary street food for inspiration, offering a variety of tastes and textures that change with the seasons. We strive for balance and flavour over extreme dietary practices, and simple whole foods instead of the latest artificial invention.
