Discover Our Story

C’est La Vie was created as a place to experience the exceptional tastes of France through food, drink, and shared moments. Located in historic downtown Sarasota, and with a new café in Lakewood Ranch, we encourage you to stop in, grab a bite from the bakery, or enjoy an authentic French meal in our dining room.
