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. 

Brunch Menu

Available between 10 a.m. - 3 p.m., our brunch menu offers a variety of French breakfast and lunch dishes. Enjoy our Eggs Benedict or Chocolate Almond Croissant as you gather around the table with friends & family.
