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 one of the best restaurants in the 30a and Destin areas. It has a unique atmosphere , decor, and menu. It is truly authentically French. Everything I’ve ordered for my dinner meals has been wonderful. Additionally, the wine list offers many French wines for every occasion and budget. I highly recommend Renaissance as a refreshing experience that’s one of a kind in the 30a and Destin areas.

    Wonderful family owned and run authentic French elevated bistro. The baguette and butter is imported from France and is legit. The dining room is cozy and charming. The menu has all the classics - the onion soup is the real deal and the confit de canard falls off the bone. Highly recommend!

    Such a wonderful place, charming, delicious French cuisine, warm and attentive service. This place is a gem. Had a fantastic dinner with my wife and a group of 15 year olds; everyone left happy and very satisfied.
