Caffè Rel, located in Franklin, North Carolina, offers delicious food and excellent service. The updated decor and cocktail options add to the dining experience. Known for their award-winning desserts, this restaurant attached to a gas station is a hidden gem. The menu features a diverse range of options, including the NC mountain trout with rice and veggies, and the opal basil shrimp with bowtie pasta, which are both highly praised. The service is attentive, and the overall atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a must-visit destination for a satisfying meal in Franklin. The kitchen is accommodating with special orders, and the salmon mango crème fraiche is a customer favorite. Guests praise the adorable decor and great service, with one reviewer noting that the Shrimp & Grits is among the best they've ever had, even in historic oceanside cities.
