Taste life, enjoy food at Johnny Franco’s Place on Commercial Road in Murwillumbah. Expect a stylish vibe of polished concrete floors, arched windows and white-clothed tables as you peruse a menu of fresh local produce, showcasing Southern American and European flavours. Prawn cigars with couscous salad and harissa yoghurt entice to begin, or barbequed octopus laced with balsamic, garlic and parsley; then delve into slow-cooked lamb shanks, steamed greens, rosemary sweet potato fondant and rich lamb gravy. Perhaps twice-cooked crispy skin duck hits the mark, served on potato hash with sautéed greens and orange sauce, or creamy tomato and lobster gnocchi, with crunchy snow peas; before indulging in decadent desserts such as strawberry crêpes, Cointreau sauce and vanilla ice cream.
