Downtown Sarasota Restaurants

Downtown Sarasota is has many new restaurants but one of my all-time favorites continues to be The Bijou Cafe. Their ad tag line is "setting the standard for fine dining in Sarasota since 1986." The Bijou has never disappointed me or any of my guests. Not only is the food excellent, but the service is impeccable and don't forget to order a bottle of wine. The servers at Bijou know their wine too.

Located at 1287 First Street in Sarasota, diners of this Sarasota restaurant can also enjoy bustling Sarasota after a fine meal and enjoy galleries, shopping and theater. Sarasota's cultural venues are all close to The Bijou Cafe.
