-About Us-

Founded in 1973, Café L’Europe has built an unparalleled reputation for its elegant and delicious European cuisine, award-winning wines, and professional service.

Its name and vision were inspired by the classic ambiance of the popular De L’Europe Hotel in Amsterdam. Elegantly designed with old world charm, Café L’Europe was originally the real estate office of one of Sarasota’s most famous residents of the past – John Ringling.

This iconic restaurant is owned by entrepreneur Ron Milton. He and his team are dedicated to ensuring that your experience is one you will immensely enjoy and keep you returning time and time again. Outstanding food, impeccable service, and the ultimate dining experience is more than their goal, it’s their passion. ​

Awesome! Would never miss

Awesome! Would never miss an opportunity to dine there when in St. Armand’s. Potato crusted grouper is the specialty. A winner every time.

Absolutely Superb!

I just had lunch with friends and it literally was one of the best lunches of my life. Tasty, yeasty bread rolls, succulent maple glazed salmon, salad accompanying the fish that was even better than the protein and a decadent apple pie ala mode for dessert. I also tasted the potato encrusted grouper which was also excellent. Lunch prices are actually an excellent value for what you receive…first class food and impeccable service. I highly recommend this place for that important business lunch or that special dinner occasion. You will not be disappointed.

Exquisite Food! Awesome Staff!

A place with a warm European feel. Great staff, very entertaining and the food is amazing! Must come. From the way staff presents themselves to the delicious menu, it’s one of a kind place. – April 2021

No Words to Describe how wonderful!

Popped in to celebrate my lovely young lady’s birthday, with a few close friends. We all had the time of our lives. Westin, our server, could not be beat! His knowledge was amazing. From the food to the wine.
If you go, you must try the Escargot and then follow it up with the Rack of Lamb. Every aspect of our dining experience was perfect.

We were about 15 minutes late…

We were abut 15 min. late getting there, but no problem. They seated us right away & the service was superb. The lunch menu was large & everything sounded so good it was hard to decide. We all tried different things; I had chicken salad – delicious. One friend had the ahi tuna & raved about it. The other lady had the salmon & was delighted with her choice. We plan on going back. Great place for friends to get together.

It was a beautiful night

43rd Wedding Anniversary

5/3/18

5 out of 5

We were celebrating our 43rd wedding anniversary, so looked for a restaurant we felt would suit the occasion. From the initial welcome from the staff, we were made to feel very special and the service, efficiency and politeness we received from Stephen was amazing. The food (main course was Sea Bass) was extremely high quality, very tasteful and served with care and knowledge by the staff. A specially-presented dessert, adorned with a ‘Happy Anniversary’ message, was a lovely touch and complemented the evening. We will definitely be returning and would not hesitate to recommend the restaurant to our friends and acquaintances.

Note : Thanks to all at Cafe L’Europe for a wonderful evening.
