It's healthy, natural food that tastes consistently amazing. There are a few options on each menu and it's hard to decide which one to get. Shared with a friend today the tacos and a falafel pizza with caramelized onions that we both loved. I definitely recommend getting the truffles every time. I haven't tried the soup yet but they sound delicious and come in a mason jar. You can get a $1 off for returning the mason jar. Good people making good food and making it convenient too!

However, as we pulled up, the store was closed and they had a tent up taking orders. Apparently the store is going through a renovation but they have a full supply of inventory so we ordered outside and one of the employees went inside to retrieve our items. I did find out this store is not a franchise but under the corporate umbrella.

So today with two friends we had their lunch/brunch menu - the selections are crazy wonderful AND there is a warm and pastry salad bar with the option! Some standouts from our selections - my salmon, creme cheese, tomato crepe was sensational (lots of fresh ingredients stuffed to the max), Rick's quiche lorraine was delicious and John had a perfectly prepared cheeseburger with a side of handcut, homemade french fries (yummy). I really did not need the delicious cookies and apple tart but both were a perfect touch to the meal. This restaurant is just off Fruitville (where Millie's used to be), it is kind of tucked in and behind the office park located at Fruitville and Beneva (to get to Claudie's we accessed off of Beneva) - lots of easy parking once you arrive at the restaurant. This is a must try for foodies in Sarasota/Bradenton/Lakewood Ranch/Venice who want to support local businesses AND have a great meal at a great price. Claudie's has a bit of everything going for it!

I stopped in this morning for breakfast just as they opened. The restaurant is large with an open layout and a very fresh look. French instrumental music played in the background. I had a relaxing visit. For breakfast I tried their Broccoli Quiche, a personal sized serving, and I chose a salad as my side. It was a good breakfast, the crust was flaky, the filling tasty. At the moment they offer 5 different types of quiche, including the classic Quiche Loraine. I hope someday they expand the breakfast menu to include my favorite, Croque Madame. I wish them well as they continue to get established in the restaurant scene. They also offer catering.

She also let us try a few traditional Spanish drinks, which was such a nice touch. Her positive attitude and genuine passion for sharing Spanish culture made the visit even more enjoyable. The shop and kitchen were very clean, which I always appreciate. I decided to try the almond cake, and it was absolutely delicious--I'll definitely be coming back for another slice! I also had the horchata, which Fatima explained is a refreshing drink that's especially popular during the summer. She also mentioned that while the store carries a small selection of products, they have a much larger selection available through their online shop, which was great to know. Overall, it was a wonderful first experience with great hospitality, delicious food, and an authentic atmosphere. I look forward to visiting again!
