Michelin-starred Francie, after much delay, debuted in  December 2020, and is the first independent collaboration between Chef-Owner Christopher Cipollone (Piora, Cotogna) and Owner-Operator John Winterman (Bâtard, Daniel).  Francie is located on the corner of Broadway & Bedford in the heart of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and has the convivial feel of a neighborhood brasserie. Located in a limestone-clad former bank building, Francie serves an approachable menu inspired by European flavors and designed for flexibility:  snacks, shellfish, and first courses, followed by handmade pastas and main courses.  Inspired choices include The Market Salad, Lobster Ravioli, and Crown Roast of Duck for Two.  Save room for a modern twist on classic desserts and the famous Cheese Cart. The timeless space, designed by architect Glen Coben, is brought together by the open kitchen, a focal point that beckons both neighbors and guests to the warmth of the dining room.
