Franks Restaurant and Mussel Bar

We came here because of its reputation with mussels. We weren’t disappointed overall. The mussels are so plump, juicy and plentiful. We had 4 different sauces, but the photos ended up all looking the same! What I liked was the sauce was full of herbs and finely chopped vegetables, really generous. The sauces were pretty good, but there are too many to choose from. The scallop starter was really tasty and soft, with a beautiful tasting sauce. The fried whitebait was also good. The squid was a little on the overcooked side, but entirely satisfactory. The desserts, apart from the creme brûlée (which was as you would want it, crispy top and really smooth vanilla custard) were underwhelming. The pancakes were cold (not sure why) and the raspberry tart tasted overly sweet and just not very nice, with less than mediocre pastry. You can’t go wrong with the seafood.

Booked a meal for my girlfriends birthday as she loves seafood. Welcomed on arrival, seated quickly. Order was taken after having time to view the menu. Starters were great. Main course really tasty, that have the bigger mussels, I think from Scotland. It was pretty busy and a bit loud as a result. Food was amazing and service really friendly. Great place

Excellent food. Service was good and atmosphere was likeable. Will definitely come back to try some more!

This Restaurant was stunning inside and the staff where pleasant however we was told we had to leave by a certain time but the service also wasn't that fast considering they had us on a schedule, meaning desserts where rushed. Unfortunately my burger was also dry, everything else was 10/10 except the most important part, everyone else's food got great reviews except the 2 burgers, i assume they where just cooked slightly longer then needed. In all, I would visit again.

Married to a Mussel lover this fantastic restaurant offered not only 22 different types of mussel dishes but also a great starter and main course range and a dessert menu we were too full to test. We attended in a Wednesday lunch and hadn't booked but were treated pleasantly upon arrival. The building is beautifully kept and provides a great atmosphere for a meal and chat. We took a table next to the window so we could also people watch. The portions were very generous but quality also exceptional. I would definitely return many times and would highly recommend.

Wonderful evening, friendly and efficient staff, fabulous food, lovely atmosphere. We shared a starter and cheese board as the mains are plentiful. Beef bourguignon delicious and bacon and brie mussels platter was amazing

After waiting some time without any attention from the wait-staff, I ordered crispy-fried duck as a starter. This was much too thickly cut and smothered with a very sweet sauce. It smelt and tasted nothing like duck. I then ordered a bowl of mussels. These were well cooked, but their sauce had little flavour and the overall smell was unappetizing. The wine we ordered had a cork instead of a screw-top, which the waitress didn't seem to have encountered before! Much of the evening was spent trying to attract attention, either to place our order or get a bill.

We don’t eat Mussels (although the Mussel menu had an amazing selection!), but visited and there were plenty of other options on the menu. Beef Bourguignon was delicious, it was rich, with a reasonable portion and tender meat. Great selection of drinks, wine was lovely and service was friendly and attentive. Nice atmosphere and will definitely return… although we really miss the Sunday roasts from years ago, they were always our favourite place for a Sunday!!
