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.

Discover Northwest Florida

Northwest Florida is known for sunshine, white-sand beaches, and warm emerald-green gulf water. Encompassing both the seafood capital of the world and the world's luckiest fishing village, it's only natural that the cuisine here most often served is fresh-caught gulf seafood. Local seafood markets sell the day's catch and will prepare it for you before you leave. If you would rather sit down and relax, visit a locally owned restaurant or open-air beachside pub and try seafood served any way you like. The coastal fare can even be ordered with a Caribbean flare or Cajun style. Land lovers in Northwest Florida will enjoy steakhouses, down-home Southern cooking, and globally influenced cuisine.
