Look, this is not a big, loud French restaurant with a ten-page menu. Francine’s is a 48-seat Parisian-tavern room in Calgary Chinatown, opened early in 2026, and the menu reads the way the room feels. Small. Intimate. Built for sharing. I like that a lot. If you want to compare another fine-dining table before you book, the Atelier menu prices page covers a well-known Ottawa room with its own price structure.
Francine’s Menu Prices Canada: Small Plates and Mains
Here is the honest starting point. The prices below come from the brand’s own current food menu, the official PDF at francines.ca, fetched October 24, 2026. That matters, because Francine’s is new and second-hand price lists for it are already floating around. This guide uses the official menu only. Where the official menu shows no price, this guide says so. No guessing. The Francine’s Calgary menu below is the full verified picture: petit plates, grande mains, sides and desserts.

Francine’s Menu Card Canada
The card below is a render of the verified official menu prices above, because no genuine current menu-card photo exists. Every price on it matches the tables above. The Steam Burgers sit on it without a price, exactly as they sit on the official menu, because inventing one would be worse than leaving the gap.
Francine’s Small Plates Calgary: What to Order First
Francine’s small plates Calgary are the heart of the place. The menu calls them petit, and the price spread tells you how to play it. Start cheap. Caramelized Dates at $4.95 and Cheesy Puffs at $4.95 each are the kind of plates you order without thinking. Then build up. Ham and Chips at $16.95, with bayonne ham and 15-month comte, is the plate I would build a first visit around. Honestly, that combination of salty ham, honey butter chips and aged cheese sounds like the whole room in one dish.
At the top of the petit range, Prawns a la Plancha at $23.95 and Tuna Tartare at $23.95 are the pricier small plates. Worth it? Depends how you order. If you treat them as shared plates for the table, yes. If you order one as your whole dinner, you will leave hungry and annoyed. That is the trap with small-plates rooms. The plates are small. Order several. Share everything. The Francine’s Calgary prices make sense once you stop thinking of each plate as a main course.
Two honest gaps. The Steam Burgers, two pieces with bacon, brie and onion ragout, carry no price on the official menu extract. I have listed them without one. Same story for drinks. The official food menu is food only, so no cocktail prices appear in this guide at all. Reviews mention cocktails, but reviews do not price them, and I will not turn a review mention into a menu price.
Francine’s Steak Frites Price and the Grande Mains
The Francine’s steak frites price is $49.95. Seven ounces of roasted butcher steak, toasted garlic peppercorn glaze, french fries on the side. That is the headline main, and at $49.95 it is also the most expensive fixed price on the menu. Is it worth it? For a steak-and-frites purist, probably. The glaze and the cut are doing the work here, not a pile of extras. My favourite of the mains on paper, though, is the Confit Halibut Cheeks at $44.95. Halibut cheeks, charred tomato vinaigrette, chilled summer beans, saffron aioli. That is a chef showing off without shouting about it. If you are weighing French and fine-dining rooms before you commit, the Beckta menu prices page covers another long-running dining room with a very different feel.
The rest of the grande range is tight. Corsica Dumplings at $29.95 open the mains, then everything else lands between $42.95 and $45.95: Smoky Trout and Crepes, Roasted Half Chicken, Confit Halibut Cheeks, Lobster Roll. That clustering is useful. It means the choice between mains is about what you fancy, not about hunting for a bargain main. One exception sits above the rest. Steak a la Francine is market price, floating stone ranch wagyu, and it serves 2 to 4 people. Market price means exactly that. Ask at the table. Do not budget it at $49.95 and hope.
A note on the OpenTable band, because it can mislead. OpenTable lists Francine’s at CAN$31 to CAN$50 per person. That is a guide band, not a menu price. It roughly matches the mains, but the petit plates start far below it and a shared table can land on either side of it. Treat the band as a rough sense of the room, never as a price for a dish.
Sides, Francine’s Dessert Menu and the Menu Quirks
Sides, listed as en plus on the menu, are simple and fairly priced. Petite Salade at $7.95, Toasted Sourdough at $6.95, Shaved Bayonne Ham at $7.95, Marinated Olives at $7.95, French Fries at $9.95, Potato Puree at $9.95. Nothing fancy. That is the point. They fill out a shared table without a second thought. And yes, the menu really does list “A Lactaid Pill” at market price. A joke item, sitting there among the sides. I am keeping it in this guide because it tells you something real about the room. It does not take itself too seriously.
| Dessert / Sucre | Price (CAD) |
|---|---|
| French Toast (honey caramel, honey ice cream, 15-month comte) | $13.95 / $19.95 |
| Frozen Cheesecake Mousse (summer fruits, pine nut, lemon) | $13.95 |
| Salted Chocolate Mousse (coconut custard, coffee caramel, lime) | $13.95 |
Francine’s French Toast
Francine’s dessert menu is short, and that is a good thing. Three desserts. French Toast at $13.95 or $19.95, depending on size, with honey caramel, honey ice cream and 15-month comte. Frozen Cheesecake Mousse at $13.95. Salted Chocolate Mousse at $13.95. My pick would be the French Toast, partly because a French toast dessert with comte in it is unusual enough to be worth trying, and partly because reviewers keep naming it. Order it to share if the table is full. A $13.95 dessert split two ways is a cheap end to a $49.95 steak night.
Planning Your Visit: Francine’s Restaurant Calgary Hours
Francine’s restaurant Calgary hours, as verified, are Monday to Wednesday 11:00 am to 11:00 pm, Thursday 11:00 am to midnight, and Friday 11:00 am to 1:00 am. Saturday hours are the one conflict I could not settle. One listing opens Saturday at 11:00 am, another at 3:00 pm, and both close at 1:00 am. So this guide prints the Monday to Friday hours only and flags Saturday as varying. Check before you go on a Saturday. I would rather leave a gap than print a Saturday opening time that turns out wrong.
Francine’s Chinatown Calgary sits at Centre Street S and 3rd Ave SE in Calgary, Alberta. I am printing the cross-street rather than a street number here, because one listing shows a mangled street number that does not match the cross-street, and a wrong address helps nobody. The phone number is (403) 471-6776. The room is small, 48 seats, low-lit, with an open kitchen and a long bar. Casual dress. Book ahead. A 48-seat room fills fast, and a walk-in on a Friday night is a gamble.
My pick, if I were booking? Two people, several petit plates, one grande to share, French Toast to finish. That order shows you the whole menu without the bill running away. Budget past the dish prices for tax and tip, as always. And if the Steak a la Francine tempts you, ask the market price before you order it, not after.
