BONJOUR BAKERY
Read moreWelcome to the boss of the galette des rois! Eric Buffenoir, two times winner of the Florida contest, offers homemade pastries and viennoiserie with the same taste as in France... Baguettes, strawberries, chocolate parfaits, the window is huge. We tried the pesto sandwich, it is incredible. It also serves breakfasts with scrambled eggs, poached eggs, eggs Benedict and, in Latin version, with a hot sauce. Not to mention, in the evening, lamb mouse with honey and rosemary or fish ballotins... A treat!
RENDEZ VOUS FRENCH BAKERY
Read moreWe are surprised to find in the depths of Florida an artisan baker-pastry chef with a Provencal accent, straight from his village near Béziers. Joël Garcia, 20 years of baking, arrived in Sarasota in 2015 with his wife. You won't find donuts or cheesecake here, but baguettes, croissants, Saint-Honoré and Paris-Brest, all homemade, which are renowned throughout the region. On the savory side, there are also delicious bacon, cheese and spinach omelets.
