French Crust Bistro

Bistro at Findlay Market

The French Crust Cafe is a little bit of Paris in the heart of Over-The-Rhine. We serve French bistro dishes for breakfast, lunch and brunch. Our menu changes with the seasons to celebrate the local and seasonal ingredients we find across the street at Findlay Market. 

Lunch Menu

Served between 10 a.m.-3 p.m., our lunch menu offers a variety of weekly specials and staple items, like our flat croissant sandwiches and shrimp and scallop vol-au-vent.
