PRICE:
Frommer's Exceptional

One of Sarasota's most lauded restaurants, Café L'Europe has been the recipient of countless awards and praise for its Continental fare that fuses French, Caribbean, and Spanish influences into what the chef prefers to call New European cuisine. An elegant ambience makes Café L'Europe the place to celebrate special occasions, whether over the classic Dover sole (served for two people) or an updated version of sweetbreads -- with brandied demiglace and mushrooms. Sea bass -- pan seared with truffle honey and a curry glaze -- is a sublime choice as well, especially when matched with one of the restaurant's many vintages. Service, as to be expected in an establishment of this caliber, is outstanding.
