Christmas at Franco’s is big on festive atmosphere and authentic Italian flavours. This December there are two delicious set menus to choose from. The first features turkey ballotine, pancetta and chestnut stuffing followed by Panettone pudding with mascarpone mousse. The second offers chicken liver parfait with caramelised onion and toasted brioches, beef fillet with roasted winter vegetables and green peppercorn sauce. For dessert, the chocolate torta caprese with hazelnut ice cream is quite simply, heaven on a plate. Oh, and don’t forget to leave some room for coffee and petits fours!
