Located on the ever-popular Byres Road in Glasgow's west end, Cafe Francoise is set to open in September and promises a menu of 'French with a hint of Italian' - a nod to owner Tony's parentage.
Opening in place of Patisserie Francoise - a French-style bakery that has been a mainstay on the busy street for 25 years - the cafe will serve full meals (something that they didn't do before) as well as a selection of drinks from the bar.
Inside has been completely renovated by Tony, and the outdoor seating area will be an ideal sunny spot to enjoy dinner and drinks, should the weather behave.
