Charming
Good for special occasions

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.

Renaissance is extraordinary anytime and especially for a special occasion. My husband and I enjoyed Valentine’s Day Dinner there recently. The fixed menu was exquisitely prepared with fresh ingredients and beautifully plated. Each course was artwork! The service is always outstanding and attentive. Dining at Renaissance is truly like being in Paris ❤️ Thank you for a memorable evening! ❤️Joe and Melanie ❤️

A great surprise on 30A! Excellent service, and the food is truly French. The bread is authentic French bread that is served warm. The pate was delicious, the saumon (salmon) and the duck were plate-licking good. Topped it off with creme brûlée which we finished in about 5 seconds. So, so good. We wanted to order the French onion soup but after the bread and the pate we needed to have room for the entrees. Next time, the soup for sure.
