Pure white Haussmannian wall panel moldings, gold mirrors, marble bistro tables, herringbone floors, green velvet booths…

…The sweet perfume of Rosemary, Thyme, Toasted Baguette, Truffles, Boeuf Bourguignon served by an elegant waiter…

…Melodies from Serge Gainsbourg and Edith Piaf are playing in the back, you love these songs, you try to guess the words…

…A Champagne bottle suddenly pops. You hear that very typical sound of 1500 years of French history in a bottle.

You have landed in Paris.

But are there palm trees in Paris?

Is it the Seine River? Why do you see a white sandy beach on the horizon? Are we in Paris? Or are we in “Floride”?

Come and see for yourself.

You are eating at Renaissance tonight!

Miam! Bon Appétit.

    Renaissance is extraordinary anytime and especially for a special occasion. My husband and I enjoyed Valentine’s Day Dinner there recently. The fixed menu was exquisitely prepared with fresh ingredients and beautifully plated. Each course was artwork! The service is always outstanding and attentive. Dining at Renaissance is truly like being in Paris ❤️ Thank you for a memorable evening! ❤️Joe and Melanie ❤️

    We had a wonderful dinner on Valentines Evening - the food was excellent and owner/chief are very enjoyable. It’s an authentic French bistro and such a wonderful addition to the line up of restaurants in South Walton

    A great surprise on 30A! Excellent service, and the food is truly French. The bread is authentic French bread that is served warm. The pate was delicious, the saumon (salmon) and the duck were plate-licking good. Topped it off with creme brûlée which we finished in about 5 seconds. So, so good. We wanted to order the French onion soup but after the bread and the pate we needed to have room for the entrees. Next time, the soup for sure.

    This is a LEGIT French restaurant. If you are looking for a quaint French experience, this is for you. Very small place (which is wonderful) so make a reservation if you want to get in. 5 stars!

    Wonderful in every way! The service, the food, the ambience...couldn't ask for a better dinner with friends. Hands down best French Onion Soup I've ever had! Every dish was prepared with attention to detail. Authentic French cuisine! Can't wait to go back!

    Love the ambiance and the food at this restaurant. The chef even cooked my husband's steak slowly so there was no charring on the outside. Valerie does a great job waiting on everyone at the restaurant. I am glad they added soups and a ribeye to the menu. Also loved the Kir Royal. Only suggestion would be to add more fish dishes.
