Franklin Cafe in South End is a popular spot known for its great and consistent food, with shareable portions and delicious drinks. This vibrant cafe in the heart of the city is slightly pricier but perfect for late-night dining. The must-try dishes include the chicken in 20 garlic cloves, the Franklin Burger, and the lamb ragu, which has received high praise. Bartenders serve fantastic cocktails, and the brunch menu, featuring the eggs Benedict in puff pastry, is also a favorite. The atmosphere is lively, though the small space can get loud with a few groups inside. The service is good, and the cozy setting makes it an ideal place for friends to gather for a meal and drinks. However, parking can be a challenge, so visitors should plan accordingly.
