Café on St. Armands, Mediterranean Soul in the Heart of Sarasota.

Inspired by our founders' vision of bringing a taste of Europe to Sarasota's shores, our menu now showcases a rich Mediterranean influence, seamlessly woven through every dish and drink.

Small plates and shareable bites, with bold Southern European and Middle Eastern flavors, are served in a hip space where all are welcome. Whether you’re grabbing coffee and pastries at our new gourmet coffee bar...catching up over cocktails at The Wet Bar...or enjoying a relaxed, vibrant meal with friends...Café is the perfect atmosphere for celebrating every moment.

With versatile spaces for gathering, carry-out premium liquors and wines, bespoke picnic baskets, and more, Café on St. Armands is more than a restaurant. It’s Sarasota’s newest destination for good vibes and delicious meals. Oysters Rock Hospitality proudly serves Five Star Fun hospitality at our seven Sarasota-Bradenton area restaurants.

Interesting change from Cafe l’Europe. Menu was somewhat limited but everyone enjoyed every selected course. Our server was excellent. Friendly and professional. The wine list was very very strong. High end choices. The list was perhaps a mismatch with the food themes. I felt they needed some lower end wine offerings to match the price point of the food offerings. More in the $40-60 range. But, the owners may have market data which indicates I’m wrong. Overall, a very enjoyable experience. Glad they continue to operate on St Armands.

Glad to see this restaurant reopened with a fresh take. Service was good. We only had brunch but will go back to taste the dinner. Although we loved the previous French flair, we welcome the Mediterranean take. 12$ dessert napoleon with baked peach was quite pricey.

Back and better than ever! I took my best friend who was in town last night and she wants to go back tonight. The food is just that good. And it is a beautiful ambiance too. I was so nervous that this place would be wrecked from the hurricane- so thankful they are back!!

We ike Cafe on St Armands much better than its’ predecessor, Cafe L’Euope. They have many small plate options, all reasonably priced. We shared the beet salad, the Oysters Rock and the French Onion Sliders. All were delicious. We took home the “peach cobbler’ dessert. It was terrific too. We’ll come back at least monthly, whereas we only went to Cafe L’Euope once per year or even less. Great job by management.

We stopped into The Cafe with friends just after it opened, post Hurricane Milton. The interior is beautifully redone with a strong resemblance to its former state, only newer, fresher and more current. The exposed brick, back lit bar, stylish seating, wine closet wall and blue accents, all add a level of interest and delight to the space. The ambiance is great for date night, girls night or really any occasion. We each had a drink at the bar and sat for a couple hours chatting with the head bartender. We learned of their new intent to serve shareable portions from across the Mediterranean with a desire to bring friends together to talk, eat, drink and enjoy. We were intrigued and excited to come back for dinner to try it out. Four of us returned to dine at The Cafe on a Friday night mid January. All of us thought it was great. The Tenderloin of Beef with Cacio de Pepe Orzo which was cooked perfectly, melt in your mouth delicious. The orzo, if you like Cacio de Pepe, you could take a lesson from this version; amazing consistency, not runny, perfect taste of pepper and hint of cheese. I am allergic to seafood and although two people at our table had seafood, the smells were that of delicious spices and sauces instead of fish. The snapper apparently was the star of the show. It was so good, everyone felt bad for me that I couldn’t taste it. My husband had the octopus which he loved along with the beet salad. We all tried the French onion sliders which had so much flavor and lived up to their name “sliding” right down with the soft onions and Gruyère. Amazing. Eleni, the GM came by our table and checked on us more than once to ensure our dining experience was going smoothly. Overall a wonderful dining experience. We were the last ones to leave. Highly recommend!

We were big Cafe L’Europe fans and excited that this location had reopened under the new name. Great service as always. Food was delicious with servings larger than before and more affordable. Highly recommend

Very disappointing compared to previous Cafe Europa. The menu and food were disappointing. The service was pleasant, but thin. Not recommended!
