From France to Florida … Family owned and operated since 2008, enjoy authentic French bistro fare like Beef Bourguignon and Pork tenderloin in a black pepper and Cognac sauce directly from Grandma's recipe book. Small and cozy modern place, ideal for sharing a delightful moment with friends or an intimate and romantic dinner.

Alexandra & Jean-Christophe (JC) will be glad to welcome you every week days for Lunch-Dinner and Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner Saturday and Sunday.

A large wine and Champagne list or a nice traditional French dessert as “creme brulee” or multiple sweet crepes will finish this authentic French experience.
You can also enjoy no more than 80 different items : crepes sweet or savory, sandwiches in freshly baked baguette, quiches and traditional French salads everyday at breakfast and lunch time.

    We were a party of 6. We are LWR residents and brought our friends to experience a little bit of Paris in the ‘hood! We have all had the good fortune to have dined in Paris. Our friends were very impressed with this hidden gem here in Sarasota. Thank you for exceeding our expectations!

    I've eaten at Paris Bistro since they opened (I think in 2008 or 2009). Always a great meal with excellent service. Our entree's were Beef Bourguignon and Mussels. Both were excellent. The chef's menu is always a nice option with a wide variety of entree's and appetizers. We sat inside during this visit, but the sidewalk seating is always a nice option. I look forward to many more meals at Paris Bistro.

    Service was excellent. Ambience is always nice, but the room was particularly cold on our latest visit to Paris Bistrot. Starters and the house bread were wonderful, but the mains (duck and a pork dish) were both rather tough.

    My husband and I have been dining at Paris Bistrot for years: for breakfast, brunch and major holidays like Christmas, Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Eve. We have brought friends and family there frequently. The food, wine, service and ambiance are always exceptional, and our last visit, this past New Year’s Eve, was spectacular. In the past, I have attempted to recreate their Beef Bourguignon and Oslo panini at home, with some success, but theirs are way better! And when visiting friends ask, “what’s good on the menu?” I usually answer, “everything.” Thank you, to everyone at Paris Bistrot, for making the start of 2025 so special. ~Danielle Palli
