Albert & Co Frankville

Booked a table for food and drink. Of the 6 main courses on the menu only 3 were available due to not having any chicken. Cocktails were good but very restricted food choice.

Called in on the off chance they could do me something to take away as my go to sandwich options in Frankwell were closed. I was on my break from work so didn't have much time. They were so accommodating and the food was delicious? I Will definitely be coming back to eat in!

Update: For a little while these guys lost their way, the menu was chopping and changing and it was clear they weren't really sure what they wanted to do. There was one or two staff that really let the side down and definitely caused groups to leave due to seemingly inexplicable slowness. I'm pleased to say the service is now better (maybe still not really what you would call efficient) but luckily they seem to have found their identity again! The food choices have pivoted to mexican, which they do well and for very thrifty prices. There are some unique touches, like muscovado and lime glaze, that put their own stamp on the food. They don't seem to particularly advertise themselves as mexican which seems a shame. I'm sure more folks would pop over the bridge for something a bit different if they knew Definitely back on the radar Old review below Surprisingly fabulous place! The name put me off a bit as I suspected they might be connected to Albert Shed, just across town. If they are then it is a huge step in right direction as this experience is a million times better We have been twice, a Friday tea time followed by a Saturday afternoon and they were excellent both times On our first visit we went with the cheeseboard, which was very generously sized and packed with quality ingredients. We also added some houmous from the veggie board, which gave us additional bread. The extra bread was useful because of the sheer quantity of cheese! This wasn't nibbles, this was a satisfying meal that left us contentedly stuffed On our second trip we tried the sandwiches and they were damn good! The bread had a slight golden crispness to it as if it had met some butter in a hot pan, delicious. The fillings were generous and interesting. They came with a side of chips, well seasoned and crisp and a side salad where someone had made a real effort to make it worth eating. Honestly you won't get a better lunchtime sandwich for 8 Beer choice is respectable, wines very reasonable and the cocktails are a real star. This is a venue that really knows it's cocktails, some inspired signature drinks and a solid array of classics. And I don't mean classics like some lesser venues do, I mean proper classics. It could be the only place in town that can make you a Sazerac and if you have never tried one before, try it here first. If you like the idea of absinthe done properly you could even go for Death in the Afternoon. Hemingway would be proud I'm looking forward to going back and working through some more cocktails! Edit: we have been back a few times but recently they have gained a new chef and a much enlarged menu. It was a bit overdue as the previous menu seemed to keep shrinking but the new one has some very tasty dishes. It also doesn't break the bank, if you fancy a casual thrifty meal and a few beers, you can't go far wrong
