Five years after opening their Middle Eastern restaurant in Wan Chai, Francis has now expanded its footprint into Soho with Francis West. The new place focuses more on food from the Maghreb region, made up of North African countries such as Tunisia, Algeria, Libya and Morocco. North African cuisine tend to be spicier and use more tomatoes and peppers. While Francis West touts its menu as mainly Maghreb, it also retains about 20 per cent of its specialities from the original Francis. Like its predecessor, Francis West offers mainly sharing plates with portions that allows the chance to try a few more dishes without overstuffing you.
