About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
Pure white Haussmannian wall panel moldings, gold mirrors, marble bistro tables, herringbone floors, green velvet booths…

…The sweet perfume of Rosemary, Thyme, Toasted Baguette, Truffles, Boeuf Bourguignon served by an elegant waiter…

…Melodies from Serge Gainsbourg and Edith Piaf are playing in the back, you love these songs, you try to guess the words…

…A Champagne bottle suddenly pops. You hear that very typical sound of 1500 years of French history in a bottle.

You have landed in Paris.

But are there palm trees in Paris?

Is it the Seine River? Why do you see a white sandy beach on the horizon? Are we in Paris? Or are we in “Floride”?

Come and see for yourself.

You are eating at Renaissance tonight!

Miam! Bon Appétit.

    We had a wonderful meal at Renaissance. The food, service & ambience were outstanding. Our group ordered the salad nicoise, French onion soup, coq au vin, lamb, and chocolate dessert. Each dish was beautifully presented & was incredibly delicious. The entire staff were friendly and warm and very attentive. This restaurant could stand anywhere in the country and be the best. A truly special place!

    Oh my word!! This is a fabulous place! Quiet, intimate and wonderful! The food was so so delicious. We started with escargot and deviled egg with caviar. Both were delicious! I had the salmon - which may have been the best salmon dish I have ever had! Salmon was perfectly cooked and in a heavenly sauce! My husband had the lamb chops with quinoa. It was fabulous too! We ended with a cheese course that was festive and delicious. We had great wines with each course . All in all it was perfection!’i highly recommend dining at Renaissance .
