Frappes North

Before heading into his kitchen, chef and owner of Frappes North Bobby Frappier makes a detour at the restaurant’s organic herb and tomato garden, harvesting ingredients for the day’s menu. The armful of herbs and tomatoes make cameos in that evening’s sauces, such as dill compound and thyme jus, as well as in the pasta sauce sold at the restaurant.

In addition to its fresh cuisine, Frappes North has earned nods for its sophisticated ambiance. Wine tastings, held on the first Tuesday of every month, bring oenophiles and the oeno-curious together for a sample of delightful vintages, paired with appetizers. Chef Bobby also leads hands-on cooking classes on the weekends, each with a seasonal or ethnic theme, so that customers can learn to cook the food they love to eat.
