Our new venture St Francis Bistro is the place to be! Great food and wine in an intimate setting, soft music, and friendly staff!
Just around the corner from Sienna Cafe on Forest Road, this is Ange's second restaurant venture in Lugarno.
Her original restaurant back in 2000 was Becfin. This was very highly regarded in its Sydney Morning Herald review, which was headed "Lucky Lugarno".

Available for date nights, catching up with friends, special occasions, or even to be booked out, this is the place to be!

                                        Excellent restaurant with delicious food. Smaller menu to choose from but this makes the food so much better. You were not rushed to leave which was great.
