C'est la vie LWR - French Bakery Breakfast Lunch Saturday and Sunday Brunch — Restaurant in Sarasota

Restaurant review

Hey foodies! I just had the most wonderful meal at C'est la Vie, this great little French restaurant, and I couldn't wait to share my experience with you all! They just opened about a month ago and they are nestled in a little shopping area off market street in LWR. First off, let's talk about the food. From the appetizers to the desserts, every dish was so fresh and packed with flavor. They've got this knack for blending ingredients that just make each bite leave you for wanting more. And the service? Top-notch! The owner greets you with a robust welcome when you first come in. The staff here are so friendly and attentive without being overbearing. They knew their stuff too—offering great recommendations and accommodating. The atmosphere was spot-on too. It's got this cozy feel that's perfect for catching up with A great friends. Overall, I left C'est la Vie feeling completely satisfied and happy. It's definitely a place I'd recommend to anyone looking for a great dining experience with a bit of French flair. All pastries are baked on site and have the freshest ingredients. You’ve got to try their croissants. They are huge! Whether you're celebrating something special or just want to treat yourself to some awesome food, this place ticks all the...

Picked up a friend from the hospital. We were both pretty hungry. But we agreed that we wanted to eat local. This newly opened cafe is wonderful. I had a Paris baguette (simple ham, cheese, and butter). My friend had sandwich with Brie, apples, and walnuts. She also has a salad. Neither of us could eat more than half the sandwich. But that did not stop us from bringing home dessert. We brought a raisin roll and apple strudel home for later. Everything was outstanding and delicious. Prices were extremely reasonable. The manager (owner) did come over to see how we liked our meal. He told us a little bit of history that was involved in opening this particular place. Our waiter was wonderful and attentive. All the food and bakery looked so delicious. I’m definitely looking forward to returning. Sadly, I don’t live in Florida. I’m just visiting a friend. But I do hope to return at least one more time...

Ordered a lemonade that tasted like poison. Then I ordered an ice coffee and it was served with individual cups of 1/2 and 1/2! Really low class and tacky. They asked to leave because they had a party of 8 coming in and they needed our table. we left and chances are good I would not go back. Bad attitude and bad coffee! Shameful **This happened yesterday. The coffee was served in a glass,as it should be, the mini creamers are ridiculous and low class, like McDonald’s. The chairs and tables are uncomfortable and we were disappointed with the treatment. My friend and I were not hungry so we didn’t eat, but we would come back another time to eat, but not with that attitude. I have never been asked to leave a table to allow for a table...
