Food was outstanding. Escargot are a favorite and Frenchie’s version did not disappoint. Followed up with a fresh tomato and burrata drizzled in a decadent balsamic perfectly paired with a red blend from Burgundy.

Lively spot in Southie, with multiple sports screens, good beer, and yummy bites for brunch or lunch (maybe dinner too but we were there at noontime). My southern egg and maple sausage sandwich was a vast improvement over fast-food versions. My husband loved the short rib eggs Benedict. Both dishes were reasonably sized portions. We visited on a Saturday when it was busy and were glad we made a reservation!
