Francine’s, a French-inspired bar concept, is operating inside the Meat & Bread location on 1st Street SW and is serving up cocktails and aperitifs — all within a cozy setting.

The menu of French tavern fare includes everything from Normandy fried chicken to steak au poivre. If you’re a cheese lover, you’re going to want to try the cheese puffs, steamed cheeseburgers, and cheese-topped French toast. The lactose-sensitive may also want to order another handy menu item: Lactaid.

Address: Meat & Bread – 821 1st Street SW, Calgary
