Chez Francis is a classic French brasserie featuring art deco design and reasonable prices. The menu offers delicious bistro food like steak frites, duck breast, and the standout cassoulet, which is rare to find in New York City. This comforting dish reminds diners of Southern France, making it perfect for a rainy night. The wine selection and classic cocktails complement the meals well. The large space may lack cozy intimacy, but the excellent service, provided by staff like Florian, and generous portions make it a great neighborhood spot. The ambience is sophisticated yet relaxing, with thoughtful touches like allergy inquiries and special dessert greetings. Reviewers note that the French onion soup is the best they have had in years, and the duck and steak au poivre are both well-prepared and flavorful. While the restaurant can get lively as the evening progresses, it remains a wonderful choice for classic French food, making it a staple in the dining options. Highly recommended for an exceptional meal.
