party of 2 had dinner at the Bijou Cafe and rated the Potato
Souffle(House Specialty), Duckling excellent because,
"Absolutely fantastic from bread to soup to main course and
desert. My absolute favorite in Sarasota." and writes on April
20, 2007, "Although not cheap, a meal of this caliber would cost
double in New York. The lobster bisque was a real treat, the
potato soufflé was unbelievably tasty, and the roast duck was
tender and cooked to perfection. I could not think of any
negatives about this restaurant. It is not for kids."

server was so special also, She gave us special attention to my
quest who have never been here before, also 1 of my quest could
not a lot of red sauce, and they were able to lighten the sauce
for him, The serving size's were more than enough. And after
dinner they came out and sang Happy Birthday to me with a wedge

Overall Experience: 1 Lee Newbon
rated the food excellent because, "The high standards are
consistent with each visit." Lee has visited the Bijou 30 times
and writes on November 18, 2004, "Bijou Cafe, each time we visit
it continues its high standards it seems with little effort.
Surely the sign of a truly outstanding restaurant. Never
hurried, friendly and attentive staff, the restaurant gives one
a feeling of comfort and well being. Our last visit was no
exception to the above. We arrived at 7.20 pm. 10 minutes early
and were immediately shown to our table. Favorites like the
shrimp piri piri and the outstanding 'special' rack of lamb were
expertly cooked to one's preference and served with good timing
between courses, enough to allow us time to digest the starter
before beginning our main course. 2 of my party enjoyed
beautifully prepared halibut demonstrating the Bijou's ability
to serve excellent fish and meat. Visitors should try the very
good selection of South African wines on offer, great value
against Napa Valley offerings. We left 21/2 hours after entering
having enjoyed 3 courses, coffee and wines. At $85 a head
including tip not cheap but a real treat, we felt the price very
worth the experience. We shall go back again.........and again."
Dennis & Rebecca Crookshanks
write on 5/4/2000: "Our meal began with a
smoked salmon pate' with crackers that went extremely well with
the Poully Fuisse' wine. I ordered the special which was a red
snapper dish. It was hot and so was the plate it was served on;
therefore, my dinner never got cold. The rice that was served
along with the snapper was cooked perfectly and the vegetables
added pleasing color and taste. We have not one complaint. The
Bijou Cafe' may not be one the cheaper restaurants around, but
it is definitely well worth every penny. To top it off we had
the crème broulé for dessert - fantastic! I love great food!"
