About

Café François is a vibrant all-day French brasserie in Borough Market, just minutes from London Bridge, inspired by the grand cafés of Paris and the convivial spirit of London dining. By day, guests linger over coffee and abundant patisseries made by the in-house patisserie team alongside French brasserie favourites with a global sensibility. The rotisserie comes to life at weekends with their popular Sunday roast à la rôtisserie, complete with all the trimmings.

As evening falls, the Market Bar fills with conversation, freezer martinis, and bottles from their playful, sustainable wine list. The menu features classics like steak frites, rotisserie chicken, escargots, and gougères, executed with care and quality ingredients. The terrace offers a pleasant spot for outdoor dining in the heart of the market.

Dogs are genuinely welcomed both inside and outside the restaurant, making it an excellent choice for dining with your four-legged friend. The team provides water bowls and the relaxed, Continental atmosphere suits canine guests perfectly.
