Francoeur’s Café opened recently in the former DW Diner II space next to Gyroscope on South Main Street, under new ownership, which also owns Café On The Oval in Milford. They are open for breakfast(served all day) and lunch on Tuesday-Sunday from 6AM to 2PM. As for the food, the breakfast food offerings the standard egg dishes, omelettes(3 eggs), breakfast sandwiches, pancakes, French toast, waffles, homemade hash, cereal, muffins, and breakfast sides. The lunch offerings include soups, chili, salads, sandwiches, wraps, burgers, dinner plates(mac & cheese, chicken tenders, liver & onions, meatloaf, pork pie, open faced sandwiches, quesadilla, side dishes, and desserts. The prices here seem fair, most entrees in the $ 6 to $ 10 range. The place is casual which has ample tables and booths in the full service dining room. The laminated menus are at each table. I stopped in here for breakfast recently on a typical weekday. The place was not very busy and I could seat myself at any open table. The waitress arrived promptly to ask me if I wanted coffee($ 2.05), which was a definite yes for me and she pointed out the specials on the board(dry erase marker), which looked similarly written as the specials board at Café On The Oval. For breakfast, I ordered the Corned Beef Hash & Cheese Omelette with Pan Fries and Homemade Maple Toast($ 8.45). The food came out really quickly, like in 5 minutes after ordering. The portion of food was just right, not too heavy and big. The omelette was filled with a very soft corned beef/potato hash, melted American cheese in a folded egg sheet. The pan fries(fresh cut potatoes) were firm and browned, decent in my opinion. The homemade maple toast was buttered, Smuckers preserves on the table. The food here was good and the check for one came out to $ 11.45 with tax and before tip. The service was very attentive. The waitstaff worked as a team, taking turns walking around the dining room with the coffee pot offering refills and keeping mugs warm and also clearing dishes from tables. I must’ve had close to 4 cups of hot coffee, which was brewed just right. I will have to come back for lunch soon!
