Opened since 1997 by Christophe and Geraldine Coutelle, we collected over the years many awards from Best French Restaurant to Best french bakery. Located on Main street - Downtown Sarasota.
Come and join us for a delightful evening.","topReview":{"highlightedText":"So glad we found this gem while vacationing in Sarasota. Went on a Saturday night and only made the reservation that afternoon. We were given the choice of outside or in, and chose outside. It was a beautiful March evening for us Bostonians and the scene on the street was lively. Cool cars cruising Main St and lots of people strolling the sidewalk. Shared escargots with baguette. I ordered traditional buckwheat crepe with cheese, leeks, and tomato - came with crisp salad. A chilled glass of chardonnay (good pour) was perfect. Husband had lamb shank came with lentils - very healthy portions. He said it was probably the best lamb shank he ever had. They have a french bakery onsite and we bought almond croissants for Sunday morning breakfast - they were delicious!","__typename":"ReviewWithHighlights"},"features":{"subtype":null,"__typename":"RestaurantFeatures"},"restaurantAvailabilityToken":"eyJ2IjoyLCJtIjoxLCJwIjowLCJzIjoxLCJuIjowfQ","__typename":"Restaurant"}],"totalRestaurantCount":8,"correlationId":"cc7fe280-fd3a-4836-8b86-c3536ab6396a","__typename":"RestaurantSearchResult"},"pageNumber":1,"pageMetaData":{"canonical":"https://www.opentable.com.au/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/french","hrefLangs":[{"href":"https://www.opentable.com/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/french","hrefLang":"en-US","__typename":"HrefLang"},{"href":"https://www.opentable.com/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/french?lang=es","hrefLang":"es-US","__typename":"HrefLang"},{"href":"https://www.opentable.jp/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/french","hrefLang":"ja-JP","__typename":"HrefLang"},{"href":"https://www.opentable.de/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/french","hrefLang":"de-DE","__typename":"HrefLang"},{"href":"https://www.opentable.es/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/french","hrefLang":"es-ES","__typename":"HrefLang"},{"href":"https://www.opentable.ca/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/french","hrefLang":"en-CA","__typename":"HrefLang"},{"href":"https://www.opentable.ca/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/french?lang=fr","hrefLang":"fr-CA","__typename":"HrefLang"},{"href":"https://www.opentable.hk/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/french","hrefLang":"en-HK","__typename":"HrefLang"},{"href":"https://www.opentable.ie/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/french","hrefLang":"en-IE","__typename":"HrefLang"},{"href":"https://www.opentable.sg/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/french","hrefLang":"en-SG","__typename":"HrefLang"},{"href":"https://www.opentable.nl/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/french","hrefLang":"nl-NL","__typename":"HrefLang"},{"href":"https://www.opentable.com.mx/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/french","hrefLang":"es-MX","__typename":"HrefLang"},{"href":"https://www.opentable.co.uk/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/french","hrefLang":"en-GB","__typename":"HrefLang"},{"href":"https://www.opentable.com.au/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/french","hrefLang":"en-AU","__typename":"HrefLang"},{"href":"https://www.opentable.ae/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/french","hrefLang":"en-AE","__typename":"HrefLang"},{"href":"https://www.opentable.co.th/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/french","hrefLang":"en-TH","__typename":"HrefLang"},{"href":"https://www.opentable.it/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/french","hrefLang":"it-IT","__typename":"HrefLang"},{"href":"https://www.opentable.com.tw/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/french","hrefLang":"zh-TW","__typename":"HrefLang"},{"href":"https://www.opentable.fr/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/french","hrefLang":"fr-FR","__typename":"HrefLang"}],"isIndexed":true,"__typename":"PageMetaData"},"cuisineInMetroInternalLinks":{"parentMetroLink":{"link":"https://www.opentable.com.au/metro/tampa-restaurants","__typename":"PageLink"},"cuisineInMetroLinks":[{"link":"https://www.opentable.com.au/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/french","name":"French","__typename":"InternalLink"},{"link":"https://www.opentable.com.au/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/continental","name":"Continental","__typename":"InternalLink"},{"link":"https://www.opentable.com.au/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/japanese","name":"Japanese","__typename":"InternalLink"},{"link":"https://www.opentable.com.au/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/burgers","name":"Burgers","__typename":"InternalLink"},{"link":"https://www.opentable.com.au/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/seafood","name":"Seafood","__typename":"InternalLink"},{"link":"https://www.opentable.com.au/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/barbecue","name":"Barbecue","__typename":"InternalLink"},{"link":"https://www.opentable.com.au/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/spanish","name":"Spanish","__typename":"InternalLink"},{"link":"https://www.opentable.com.au/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/american","name":"American","__typename":"InternalLink"},{"link":"https://www.opentable.com.au/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/european","name":"European","__typename":"InternalLink"},{"link":"https://www.opentable.com.au/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/mediterranean","name":"Mediterranean","__typename":"InternalLink"},{"link":"https://www.opentable.com.au/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/greek","name":"Greek","__typename":"InternalLink"},{"link":"https://www.opentable.com.au/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/caribbean","name":"Caribbean","__typename":"InternalLink"},{"link":"https://www.opentable.com.au/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/mexican","name":"Mexican","__typename":"InternalLink"},{"link":"https://www.opentable.com.au/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/sushi","name":"Sushi","__typename":"InternalLink"},{"link":"https://www.opentable.com.au/cuisine-in-metro/tampa-restaurants/steak","name":"Steak","__typename":"InternalLink"},{"link":"https://www.opentable.com.au/cuisine-in-metro/tam
