C'est La Vie - Pastries Breakfast & Dinner

Fantastic, authentic, French restaurant with a great variety of cuisine. Delicious for brunch, dinner, or dessert.

We loved it here. Delicious food. Great service. Loved the atmosphere.
I had the Croq' Madame and loved it.

I am absolutely not a sweet tooth person but I have returned 4 times to this place over our stay. Pastry is so delicious and just perfectly sweet. Totally recommend. I should stop and get some Pastry for the road trip back to OH.

Totally recommend. Get some Pastry with peppermint 🍵 tea.

Great restaurant for breakfast or lunch on the terrace. I also recommend the pastries, they are all delicious!

The location and outdoor seating give a good vibes. Weekend morning and lunch time do get busy. The service is excellent, but the croissant is a let down. Perhaps toast it will be better as I didn't get the flaky crunch.

Delicious food, excellent service, nice location. I'm very sensitive to food quality, and feel great after having lunch at this wonderfully cafe. And waitresses were just awesome. Great job 👍

My Cesar salad was not good, but service is really good. Actually my friends who have ordered omelet and croissant liked that.

This is probably my favorite restaurant in Sarasota. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is wonderful. Plus the food is delicious AND affordable. I always leave here happy and looking forward to the next time.

They ran out of soup d’ jour, so they served some old soup that waiter could not identify. Tasted like it had been in freezer for a few years. The lettuce on the salad was so dirty, you could see the dirt on it…. Ownership was unapologetic. Bizarre experience.

Absolutely a taste of Paris right in Sarasota. Smoked salmon on brioche and choc croissant are too scrumptious! Definitely try it. Great Parisian ambient!
