Franquette

Meet Franquette, a French-inspired wine bar and cafe brought to you by Brad Cecchi and Clay Nutting — the team behind Michelin-rated restaurant, Canon.

Franquette is situated in The Bridge District, the burgeoning riverfront neighborhood in West Sacramento, which offers views of the river, Downtown, and the Tower Bridge.

As an all-day café, Franquette will showcase everything from a delicious array of breakfast pastries and bites in the morning to complement locally roasted coffee beverages, to lighter fare including salads and sandwiches for lunch. In the evening, expect seasonal chef-driven small plates served alongside a thoughtfully curated wine list featuring unusual and off-the-beaten-path wine regions in France, the list will showcase small producers and rare varietals, as well as the domestic winemakers that they have inspired.

Franquette’s design and creative work was led by Clay Nutting and Sarah Barkawi alongside a team of collaborators including interior designer and architect Matthew Lechowick, branding specialist Zuza Hicks, custom furniture maker Phill Built, lighting designer Tundish, and a mural by the legendary Jay Howell.
