Chez Francois Restaurant

When Ohioans want to treat themselves to chef-made French cuisine paired with fine wines and seasonal cocktails, they come to Chez Francois. We’ve been in business many years on the banks of the Vermilion River, and during that time we’ve built a reputation as the best fine dining in Ohio. The soft candlelight in our brick-walled dining room — built in 1845 — lends a rustic French elegance to any experience with us, and the Chez Riverfront Cafe and Touché wine bar offer a more relaxed environment, while maintaining impeccable food and service. All this to say, we’re a place to celebrate good food, good wine, and good people. Established in 1987. Started in 1987 by Chef John D’Amico and Matthew Mars as a fine dining French restaurant that seats 100 guests and a riverfront cafe/al fresco dining area that seats 30 guests. Now we have two floors with a Classy Bar named Touche, private dining for up to 50 persons in our Parisian Room and another al fresco dining area that seats 30 guests. We source our products from the finest purveyors in the country, we do not compromise and quality, service or atmosphere.
