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.

We're taking it back to where the beaches are white, it's always hot and the cocktails are fruity. Celebrating Brazil and all it's given us, we're throwing a Carnival party on the 6th of April. Think tasty BBQ plates, exotic cocktails, live Brazilian music and dancers!
To get you into the carnival feeling, we're serving up some baddass cocktails all the way up to the big day.
- Caipirinha - a rustic Brazilian classic of booze, muddled limes and brown sugar. Served over ice.
- Mojito - a refreshing flavour bomb of booze, mint and lime served tall.
- Batista - the local tropical favourite of strawberries and passionfruit, served short and on the rocks.
- Bossa nova - pineapple and Acai berries served tall and tiki.
See you down at Franc's on the 6th of April from 5pm
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 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.
