Located in the charming Parkside neighborhood just steps away from Portland's West End, The Francis Hotel & Spa offers 15 uniquely designed guest rooms and a small spa in a beautifully renovated historic mansion. The Francis is locally owned & operated by fourth-generation Mainers and has been a part of the Portland community since 2017. 

Chaval is a neighborhood West End brasserie with Spanish and French inspired seasonal cuisine. Local ingredients, honest food, good hospitality, craft cocktails, wines, and beer. Private patio for al fresco dining when weather permits & private rooms available.

The menu at Hot Suppa! is all made from scratch from quality ingredients; local goods are used whenever possible. Their renowned breakfast and lunch are served seven days a week, so you can get that corned beef hash fix whenever you’re jonesing. Dinner is also available three nights a week, and they offer a full bar service if you care to relax into the evening with a Porch Swing cocktail, or recover in the morning with a spicy Bloody Mary or cold draft beer.

Local favorite Tandem Coffee + Bakery is a wholesale coffee roaster with two cafes in Portland. Their Congress Street Bakery (directly across the street from The Francis) offers insanely delicious sweet and savory treats created by recent James Beard nominee Briana Holt.
