Frankie Says

Frankie Says, the brand spanking new eatery and bar brought to you by the masterminds behind culinary concepts Hoy Pinoy, The Meatball Company and Café Italia, is now open along the riverside in Abbotsford. 

Huge solid timber pillars frame the exterior while inside a contemporary union of hardwood floors, mosaic tiles, rendered concrete walls, exposed ducting and 18 stunning pendant lights suspended from the high ceilings create a cool and casual feel that is wonderfully inviting. 

Frankie Says serves up an ever-changing menu with a mouth-watering range of antipasto boards, the perfect share plate, house-made stone oven pizzas and delicious breakfast including a deep dish pancake and truffle eggs with artichoke paste. Diners can expect to see something different on the menu every time they visit. 

It is a place where people can feel totally relaxed as they enjoy a champagne brunch, catch up with friends over an afternoon antipasto, or simply take a moment to themselves in the leafy surrounds with a cup of coffee.

We loved the food on offer during our visit. The beautifully cooked lamb with chickpeas was sensational. The lamb breast was tender, delicious and bursting with flavour.

The dish of poached eggs, bitter greens and pulled pork was another winner, comprising a medley of enlivening flavours and textures.
