Franchia Vegan Cafe

Franchia is a little hidden on Park Avenue in a quieter part of town. It is also away from a saturated restaurant area. The Asian fusion restaurant offers vegan cuisine and is known for its many tea options. Reservations can be made via phone. They have three levels of seating. The first is more casual and generally seating for two. Head up the stairs for level two, which is better for groups. Finally the top floor is more intimate and private. The third floor is good for date night. There is no elevator so keep that in mind if stairs are an issue. Servers are fast with orders and trying to keep the candles lit on your table. (lol ours went out a few times) Lighting can be a bit dim to read...

two great meals in franchia. the small cakes were the best I ever had, and tasty with crispy outside and delicate interiors. their filled mushrooms were divine! 5-star for the stone bowl meal. their rice and sweet stay super hot and crack out of contact with the one of a stone shell. the soy-finger sauce was the perfect touch. not a place for dessert, but had the flourless chocolate cake, which was heavy with mandel and dark chocolate richness. my next trip to new york will definitely be at least one (two three meals as franchia.

We really enjoy the food and experience; both my non-vegetarian friends and myself were impressive with the flavor and texture. The food is very high quality. I’d recommend the Peking buns,stuffed mushroom and mushrooms bulgogi. My non-vegetarian friends loved the Korean Hot Pot with soy fish (they couldn’t believe it’s not real fish lol).

Excellent! Unique. Creative. Fantastic service. Too many items to try for just one visit. Highly recommended. The Wonton tastes like Wonton! Vegan skill and technique. Not just a bunch of fake meat thrown around regular dishes.

Delicious! Friendly and attentive staff who recommended a wonderful tea and entrée (bibimbap hot stone bowl with brown rice, mushrooms, avocado, tofu, and spicy chili sauce). I highly recommend!
