FRANCINE<\/a>, the highly acclaimed new French-inspired Mediterranean cuisine restaurant now open in the luxury wing of Scottsdale Fashion Square is proud to announce the opening of its highly anticipated patio-seating. <\/p>\n\n\n

Anchored in the South of France, the restaurant comes from culinary visionary Laurent Halasz, a Scottsdale resident that is behind the successful restaurant Fig and Olive in LA, New York, and Washington D.C. FRANCINE, named after Laurent\u2019s mother, artistically intertwines a beautiful setting with cuisine inspired by the South of France.<\/p>\n\n\n
