French Franks is a filled baguette and sandwich shop catering for the lunchtime shopper and those on a jolly from work. You can also sit down in it should you so wish, although Matt and Cat have yet to try this - partly because it's not that big and at lunchtime you might end up poking your baguette into someone's eye.

It is situated in one of the more attractive areas of Newport, and makes good use of its pleasant central location near the main church. The food is of the freshest and tastiest, with delicious crunchy baguettes filled with just about anything you can imagine. Matt's favourite, coronation chicken, is always good, with the fresh salad option making it almost possible to imagine that it is healthy eating. The massive queues are intimidating at first, but when you see the speed with which French Franks can dish out the pastrami and stilton (or whatever) you won't mind a few moments delay.

Recommended for a quick bite on the hoof whilst wandering the streets of Newport.
