After a walk around the Toronto Christmas Market in the Distillery District (http://torontochristmasmarket.com/) and seeing all the expensive food, my friend and I decided we'd rather go to Fran's for dinner than pay $5 for a hot dog or small poutine at the Christmas Market. So we journeyed back to Front Street to grab some diner food.
We've been to the other Fran's locations near College and Eaton's Center, but seeing as the Front Street location recently opened up, we thought it'd be worth a shot.
We got the Grilled Chicken and Bacon Panini with home fries and the Lasagna. The Panini was good - nothing super amazing about it - the avocado was a nice touch in the sandwich, but we didn't think there was enough Jack Cheese since my friend wanted a cheesy sandwich - but the cheese on the lasagna more than made up for it:
The food was ok - I think the food at the Fran's near Eaton's Center is much better quality than the Front Street location, but it definitely quenched our hunger.
For the best diner food, I think Mel's in Waterloo (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/mels-diner-waterloo) definitely takes the cake. Unfortunately, it also burned down in my second last year of school, but I will always remember the French skillet breaded strips of chicken, green & red peppers, onions on a bed of scrambled eggs all topped with hollandaise sauce and two pieces of toast and homefries on the side...amazing.
