What can I say! Claudie's is such a gem of a restaurant, owned by a truly gracious couple from France, the food is prepared and served with love and a touch çof European elegance. 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! read more

I was happy to see the old Nellie's Deli site is being used again, this time for Claudie's, a French restaurant. This family run business has only been open for a couple of months. 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. read more

Good food, reasonable prices, friendly hosts. Had menu/ buffet combo for lunch. Little hard to find as set back from road

Great service. The food was delicious. Great value. Off the beaten path, give it a try.

Claude's was ok, onion soup was "Comme ci, comme ça" it had a green hue to it and the croutons could not quite support the cheese for the nice brûlée that I prefer on my French onion soups cheese. Next we spilt the burger, the fry's were the star for the plate for sure. Burger was good not great, no temp preference was asked, it came out a firm mid well. Service was decent but honestly a bit slow for lunch, perhaps it's there way for seeming more "euro". I would maybe come back, but definitely not in a rush. read more

After ready all the amazing reviews I decided to try this place, it was very disappointing. I can only say that their mushroom soup of the day was good and their chicken with mushrooms lunch special served with mashed potato was tasty. My lunch partner had the Quiche Lorraine which was a reheated ugly looking quiche but the horror were the French fries, I do not know what they fried them in but they tasted awful, we both have an upset stomach. We brought them home so we can figure out why, I would like to have them tested. Honestly I will never return. read more

Marvelous atmosphere. French family who has been here only two years. Claude was a chef in France. The service is exceptional, the food amaaaaaaaazzing. House made breads and croissants. Wow. Melt in your mouth. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could and want to encourage Sarasotans to give these new comers your patronage. HIGHLY RECOMMEND and reasonable prices. read more

What a gem of a restaurant! The variety of food between the buffet and/or the menu was amazing and all reasonably priced.

Had the most amazing lunch yesterday at Claudie's! Eight of us enjoyed everything from the Caesar Salad, Onion Soup, Beef Bourgeon, Quiche & Croque Monsieur and especially the Pastries! Every bite was delicious. Arielle was amazing serving everything hot and together since she was the only server it wasn't an easy task. We will definitely be back. Chef Claude is a great find in Sarasota. Highly recommend visiting this out of the way gem. read more

Wow. What a wonderful Hidden Gem! A literal diamond in the rough... You may not think it looks like much from the outside due to city limitations, but upon entering the restaurant, the experience becomes charmed. It's warm and inviting, with a soft French flair, casual, yet elegant. The stars of the show are undoubtedly the food and the service. Everything is made from scratch and authentically French. Every bite is a delight and a reminder that homemade is well-made here. You would think this beautiful French food would bear a high price tag, but you would be wrong. The prices are astoundingly good, and more than comparable. The service is fantastic and adds to the overall wonderful experience. This is a family-run business, where the attention to detail and customers is everything. I honestly can't think of another place that offers as much in every way for this price point. It's absolutely lovely. read more

A hidden gem in plain view. It's hard to notice as you drive by at 21 Beneva just south of Fruitville Road, but it's worth seeking out. An authentic French restaurant with wonderfully prepared tasty foods. You'll be glad to have found it. We went because friends had made a date to meet us there. And we definitely will be back again. read more

Delicious food and friendly service. Highly recommend Claudine's! We will be back often.

We ate at Claudie's tonite with another couple. We arrived early enough to enjoy the "Early Bird Special" and I must say that everything we had was delicious - from the "starter to the main course and to dessert". Plus the owners and staff are just delightful and really seem to enjoy making others happy thru offering quality and tasty food selections. I am vegetarian and the "Chef" came to our table to discuss what he could prepare for me since the main meal on "early bird special" didnt have a vegetarian selection. He made a delightful pasta dish with mushrooms, peppers and tomatoes. It was amazing. Then the dessert---we all seriously wanted to just "lick our plates" when done. WE left stuffed and oh so happy. We will be back!! read more

Don't walk, RUN to this incredible new French bistro at the corner of Beneva and Fruitville! Open for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner! Great attentive service exceeded only by the exceptional food! Everything is fresh and made from the finest ingredients in the kitchen - you will not find anything here that is less than awesome! A fabulous addition to the Sarasota foodie scene! read more
