    Breakfast Crepes.
    Selmy B.

    Exceptional service, unlike any of the other French breakfast spots in Sarasota. Let's elevate breakfast with a fresh flair. The bakery items are generous and locals, like us, come to just get some croissants for later. The menu has breakfast and lunch omelettes , crepes, sandwiches and some healthier options. The coffee is always hot and strong. Prices are competitive for the area. Tables are available upstairs, downstairs and outside. Great for 2 or for groups as the tables and chairs are moved to accommodate all guests. Family friendly and again the best feature is Veronique the owner's genuine hospitality and attention to outstanding service by her steady original staff. It's a family and they invite you to join them for breakfast or lunch.

    Titan waffle

    My family and I went here for breakfast twice: once on Christmas Eve and once on Christmas Day. The first day, I got an egg and cheese croissant sandwich with a side of potatoes. We also got the goat cheese quiche, the lobster benedict, the pineapple crepe, the lobster crepe, and the Nutella crepe. We also got orange juice and coffee. The orange juice was freshly squeezed and the coffee was great. The quiche was rich and creamy, the Benedict was perfect and filled with lobster and a great hollandaise sauce. The crepes were good, but the Nutella crepe could have had some kind of filling. The lobster crepe was filled with lobster as well, so definitely good quality. The egg and cheese croissant was good as well, a the potatoes that came with the orders were delicious. The portions were all great, and the service was excellent. The second day, I ordered a create your own omelette with mushroom and Brie and subbed my side with a croissant, as well as a baked brie croissant, the western crepe with turkey, the salmon crepe, the lobster omelette, the tatin waffle, and a lemon strawberry crepe. All of the entrees were good as well. The crest your own omelette was a great value, especially with a croissant. The Brie croissant was delicious, as were all the crepes and the waffle. The homemade béchamel in the western crepe was amazing. The lobster omelette was good as well, but could have used some cheese or creamy sauce. Other than that, loved everything and would definitely come here again.

    The food was good. It was a really nice day to be outside so it was a perfect weather. Both of us tried the crepes. And it's not disappointing. Service was good. I probably will come back to try their breakfast and bakery - Croissants!

    Now this is an authentic French cafe! My fiancé picked this place out and I was so excited to try it. We drove up to this place and saw the seating outside and it took me back to living in France. We were seated by the owner who I spoke with in French about where she was from and just about the French regions. We sat down and looked over the great menu. My fiancé ordered the Ocean Boulevard and I ordered the Omelette Beret with a side of fruit. My meal was amazing!! I ordered a pain au chocolat, which was my favorite when I lived in France and had that for later... it was delicious!! Highly highly recommend this place for breakfast but even their lunch and dinner menu looked fantastic!!!

    Amazing fresh food!! I knew it was going to be good when I saw the Seed to Table delivery truck outside. I ordered the Lobster Benedict. It was amazing. I usually never eat hollandaise sauce, but I order on the side to try. It was amazing! So fresh with a buttery lemon flavor. Mmmm Our server was Andy. She was:super friendly and as busy as they were she always found a moment to stop by to check to see if we needed anything. I will be back!!! This was the best breakfast place on Siesta Key!!

    The croissants here are AMAZING. I'm a picky foodie but their sand dollar breakfast is light and well balanced. They have fresh squeezed OJ mimosas! Yum!!! The outside patio area is cute and great for an early morning in the sun! However, this cafe is best suited for small groups or couples. Waitress is attentive without being overbearing. I have tried all the island breakfast restaurants and this one is my favorite.

    The place is cute. Service is quick but limited patio seating and if you're here on the weekend, definitely get here before the 9:30 AM breakfast rush or else there won't be much space to sit and you'll be waiting . Up charge for fruit if you want to swap for potatoes. They get plenty of potatoes as aside, but I wasn't in the mood for them this morning and their side salad is just straight up greens with nothing on it which I also thought was meh. Fresh squeezed OJ at nine dollars a cup. It's a tad on the pricey side but hey it's fresh squeeze vitamin C so it's a good way to start the day. The lobster omelette was OK. It smelled very fishy and kind of bland. My husband preferred Benedict. I thought it was fine, but nothing to write home about. I got a Nutella crepe with strawberries and it was also just ok. Not enough Nutella but plenty of strawberries. The crepe itself was bland and not sweet. Overall it's fine but probably not a place I'd return to.

    Delicious breakfast sandwich on a croissant, with coffee that rivals any other we had on this vacation. Service was attentive. Sat outdoors which was lovely. Recommend.

    Popped in on a Sunday morning and picked up an almond croissant and a pain au chocolat - both were very good. The almond croissant could have used a bit more almond filling for my taste but it was tasty. The French gentlemen at the cash register (owner?) was very pleasant while juggling a lot of demands. The prices were what we would have expected. The staff were all wearing masks. A few years ago in Ft Lauderdale we had some some superb French pastries - we give a slight nod to that place but Bonjour is the second best we have had in Florida. Actually we meant to take a picture of our purchase but we devoured it too fast!

His enthusiasm and hospitality set the tone for the entire evening, and it's clear that the staff shares the same passion for creating an exceptional dining experience. Everyone works together seamlessly to make sure every guest feels welcomed and well cared for. We chose Antoine's to celebrate our 32nd wedding anniversary, and it couldn't have been a better choice. It's the perfect restaurant for a special occasion. The food was outstanding. We started with the mussels, and I've never seen such an extensive selection anywhere else--there must have been at least 10 different preparations to choose from. The duck and the scallops, both house specialties, were cooked perfectly and absolutely lived up to their reputation. To finish, we shared the French puff pastry filled with warm, melted Belgian chocolate. It was pure heaven and the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal. If you're looking for an authentic Belgian-French dining experience with incredible food and even better hospitality, Antoine's is a true hidden gem in Sarasota. Don't just take our word for it--go experience it for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

You can definitely order at the counter in French if you want to and I've had a waiter there flip between English, French, Spanish, and another language (maybe Romanian?) in one order. The sandwiches I've had were all lovely, and had a little side salad that could benefit from a better dressing (they serve an okay vinaigrette though).

I also got a palmier pastry and I should have gotten a croissant, the palmier tasted a little stale. The locale was adorable, with beautifully tiles tables really setting the scene. Overall, not terrible! Worthwhile if you're really feeling French.

I stopped in needing to use the restroom and was completely willing to make a purchase. The gentleman behind the counter told me that I needed to spend more than $8 in order to be served and use the restroom. No problem--I agreed and attempted to purchase more than $8 worth of cookies directly from THEIR bakery counter. Then, unbelievably, he STILL refused to serve me and suddenly told me that I had to order food. So which is it? Spend more than $8, or order a meal? You cannot tell a customer exactly what they need to do, have them agree to do it, and then change the rules and refuse to serve them anyway. The entire situation was absurd. I wasn't asking for anything for free. I was standing at the counter, money in hand, ready to spend more than the amount I was specifically told was required. I simply wanted to purchase cookies that THEY had displayed for sale. Apparently, even being a willing, paying customer wasn't enough. The way this was handled was dismissive, unwelcoming, unnecessarily difficult, and completely lacking in basic customer service. A simple transaction that should have taken two minutes turned into such an unpleasant experience that I walked out without spending a dime. If this is how customers are treated, I have absolutely no interest in ever returning. There are far too many bakeries and cafés that actually appreciate their customers to waste your time, money, or patience here. I would strongly recommend SKIPPING THIS PLACE and going somewhere else. A business can have great products, but if customers are made to feel unwelcome when they're literally trying to give you their money, none of that matters. They didn't just lose an $8 purchase--they guaranteed that I will never spend a dollar here in the future. I will never return, and based on the way I was treated, I would NEVER recommend this establishment to anyone.

The special was tilefish, we ordered several kinds of seafood including lobster, crab, and snapper while I had the lamb saddle. Personally speaking the blue crab avocado appetizer was something I had to order because of all the pictures I had seen, and it did not disappoint. The romulade alongside the dish gave it a fresh, elegant bite which was rich but bright. The Colorado lamb saddle had the texture of a well prepared filet mignon perfectly baked inside of a puff pastry. I was calling it a lamb wellington for fun, but that may have been the most I have ever enjoyed a lamb dish. It was hearty, and perfectly balanced between tender meat, crisp crust, and savory sauce. The pineapple dessert was light, refreshing, and felt like a unique cross between a tangy desert and a sweet airy coconut whipped ice cream. I was however very jealous of the others that ordered the rich chocolate soufflé. 10/10. I would say this is a necessary experience for anyone that lives in the area.

Love their almond croissant, fresh fruit tarts, napoleon, anything with whipped cream ( many of their deluxe cakes ). The apple turnover was unfortunately thick, bit doughy no flavor-butter, very little apple (would delete) hence 4 stars. The bakery business today is very hard because of their products' fragile shelf life and the cost of using butter has sky-rocketed!
