MADEMOISELLE PARIS UTC
Read moreMademoiselle Paris is the baby of Jean and Myriam who left the Paris region to try their luck in the United States by opening a bakery-pastry shop and restaurant in Bradenton. You can enjoy croissants, mille-feuilles and other religious dishes, but also duck with orange sauce, scallop risotto and beef bourguignon... Not to mention the weekend concerts and, every month, a wine tasting based on a region of France. With the success, they even opened two other bakeries in Sarasota and Anna Maria!
THE RITZ CARLTON
Read moreThis restaurant in the Ritz Carlton has the advantage of a magnificent terrace with a view of the sea. When the weather is fine, it is really a must at sunset, especially for a romantic dinner. On the flat side, good seafood products are in the spotlight. We recommend the lighthouse tower, a creamy sea tour with shrimp, crab, oysters, tuna tartar and ceviche. The burrata with beets is also a success and will appeal particularly to vegetarians. Don't miss the crispy caramelized scallops either.... Good address for fine palates.
ISLAND CREPERIE
Read moreInstalled on the island since 2003, this crêperie with a purple front and the accents of a French bistro is run by French people. The food is very good, and we say that without chauvinism! At breakfast, you will enjoy croissants (plain or gourmet version with eggs and bacon), and other homemade pastries, served with a coffee latte, or why not, a Mimosa! At lunchtime, there are savory crepes (we recommend the one with lobster) and about twenty sweet crepes. If you feel like a meal with a Frenchy flavor, go there!
