CAFE L'EUROPE

This season marks Café L’Europe’s 50th year in its iconic St. Armands Circle location. Whether celebrating life’s most meaningful moments, or the end of a long week, we welcome lovers of food and drink for a five-star experience inspired by Europe’s finest bistros.

Spring 2023 brings a reimagined restaurant interior and new dining menus. European culinary tradition inspires scratch-made dishes using local, sustainable ingredients. An exquisite Old World-meets-New World wine list, craft cocktails, and live piano music greet you from our chic lounge.

Founded in 1973 by acclaimed restaurateurs Titus Letschert and Norbert Goldner, Café L’Europe’s name and concept were inspired by the classic ambiance of the popular De L’Europe Hotel in Amsterdam. 

Elegantly designed to exude old-world charm, before the restaurant was Café L’Europe, it was the Cocoanut Palms restaurant in the 1950s and became Colombi’s Italian Restaurant later in that decade, and into the 1960s.  The building was originally built circa 1926 as the real estate office of one of Sarasota’s most former residents – John Ringling.

In many ways, 2023 was a wonderful year full of core memories. We opened new restaurants, we invested in our people, but most of all – we learned.
