Lunch and Brunch Specials

FRANCIS

We’ve been fans of FRANCIS since it opened its doors back at the beginning of 2018, and its newly revamped brunch is sure to impress. Known for serving up contemporary Middle-Eastern dishes, with the bold flavours of the region, the new brunch focuses around the much-loved dish of Shakshuka. Priced at $280 per person, FRANCIS’ brunch is served on Saturdays and Sundays from 12pm to 3pm, and includes a selection of four meze for sharing, a choice of main and dessert. When it comes to the mains, the classic Israeli dish of Shakshuka ticks all the boxes. Served three ways, guests can opt for the classic rendition of the dish, or try out one of Chef Asher’s new creations. The green variation features creamy yogurt, rich feta and zingy silverbeet; while the spicy shakshuka is taken up a notch with the addition of lamb kafta and fermented chilli. Meze dishes include the restaurant’s famed hummus, spiced beef cigars, and halloumi with honey and wild oregano.
