Reviews for C'est La Vie - Pastries Breakfast & Dinner in Sarasota, FL

My favorite place in Sarasota, I feel like I'm back in France. Best Steak Frites I've had in the states. Breakfast, lunch and... dinner here are amazing. Lovely owners and staff. Always feel welcome and at home. Read more

So cute, so tasty, and pretty quick!! Pictured is the almond croissant, double espresso, and the Campagnarde crepe. The almost... croissant was so buttery and fluffy while the crepe was savory with an amazing mushroom sauce! This is such a fun little placefor a Saturday breakfast before going to the farmers market! We like to get a baguette to go and get some fresh veggies at themarket! Read more

The lemon crepe was amazing along with the mimosas. The potatoes and veggie omelet my bf got were also very good. Service from... Atilla was top notch! Read more

Had brunch here Friday morning with several friends. Staff greeted us inside quickly and were very friendly when telling us... we’d probably fit better outside. We attempted to rearrange some tables together but staff willingly intervened to help whenwe just weren’t figuring it out. I ordered a coffee, smoked salmon croissant with a garden salad, they were all delicious. Thecoffee was one of the better black coffees I’ve ever had, and the sandwich had the perfect amount of meat on it too. I sharedan almond croissant with another girl and it was so good that she ended up buying several more to eat the rest of the weekend.Overall, great place for a nice shaded outdoor breakfast with friendly staff.

It only took one experience here at C’est La Vie to make me want to become a regular. My first order was a croissant sandwich... accompanied by the soup of the day. Everything was incredibly flavorful and left a lasting impression. The restaurant is verycozy, has fantastic pastries, and Melissa provided excellent service. Overall felt incredibly welcomed and relaxed for such abusy environment 10/10 would recommend. Read more

We had a lovely lunch here. The outside dining was full so, we ate inside. Our server Daniel (actually, from Romania - a great... guy) was perfectly attentive. I love it when I can catch eye-contact with the server and they are looking for it (vs ignoringthe diners). The french beer was tasty and we had croissant sandwiches (salmon for me) and the tomato with goat cheesesoup...apricot flan for dessert. The food was excellent. They also had panini (Italian?) and if it's anything like we had, I'msure it's good stuff. Also, check-out the pasteries and desserts when you walk in (see the pics) pretty awesome! Read more

Went for a stroll on Main Street and an espresso and pastry seemed the right thing to do at that moment. We each had a pastry... which was waaay tooo good! Should have shared one but when u see these desserts it seems almost impossible to not want your ownat the end of the day! We sat street side! Service was prompt and friendly! Gonna make this a bit of a routine. A very civilizedway to spend an hour on a beautiful afternoon. Read more

Loved everything about this place. The french lady was so cute she told my husband the salad was big enough and he didn't need... to order more food. My panini with prosciutto and mozzarella was lovely and the desert was out of this world. I could have had 3of them! Highly recommended. It's busy so go there early. Read more
