Charming
Neighbourhood 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.

Great little gem on 30a. Small intimate space (definitely make a reservation during the busy season). Great ambience and decor. Friendly service, small but focused menu. Wine selection is great however cocktails are not available due to what I assume is a lack of proper liquor license? They only offer premixed canned mixed drinks. The service was pleasant and not rushed which was a nice change of pace from most places that want to turn tables quickly. The portion sizes were perfect in that we were totally satisfied without feeling stuffed or still hungry. We would definitely return but would go for a cocktail first somewhere nearby
RenaissanceResponded on 21 December 2024
Hello Patrick! We are so glad you enjoyed your experience at Renaissance last night. Thank you for this review! Per Florida law in our county, our restaurant is too small to be able to have a full liquor license. Premixed drinks with the right % are the only cocktails we are allowed to have with a wine and beer only license. We wish we could have it all but it is out of our control. We are so glad you appreciated our wine list as everything on there is selected with care. We look forward to serving you again soon!! Merci beaucoup!

Wow, glad I found this little gem. 3 of us came to eat for my son's Birthday. We ordered 3 different appetizers, and 3 different meals. My wife ordered the short rib, my son ordered the Duck Confit, and I ordered the Pompano with Lobster and champagne sauce that was to die for. The wife of the chef is the one who took great care of us. She mentioned the new menu is coming out next week, A good reason to return.

Renaissance is one of the best restaurants in the 30a and Destin areas. It has a unique atmosphere , decor, and menu. It is truly authentically French. Everything I’ve ordered for my dinner meals has been wonderful. Additionally, the wine list offers many French wines for every occasion and budget. I highly recommend Renaissance as a refreshing experience that’s one of a kind in the 30a and Destin areas.

Wonderful family owned and run authentic French elevated bistro. The baguette and butter is imported from France and is legit. The dining room is cozy and charming. The menu has all the classics - the onion soup is the real deal and the confit de canard falls off the bone. Highly recommend!
