The month of June just got a little tastier!
The beginning of June kicks off the start of an annual event called Savor Sarasota Restaurant Week, though the event actually lasts from June 1 – June 14. You might ask, what exactly is so special about this week? Savor Sarasota allows you to enjoy delicious three-course meals at either lunch or dinner for a discounted, fixed price at some of Sarasota’s most beloved eateries.
Savor Sarasota’s website recognizes that the city of Sarasota offers “one of the highest concentrations of Zagat-rated restaurants in Florida.” However, many of these restaurants have correspondingly high prices, especially for three-course dinners. Restaurant Week allows you to dine a $15 three-course lunch and a $29 three-course dinner per person. Therefore, it is a great way to explore the cuisines of luxurious, gourmet restaurants throughout Sarasota at a significantly discounted rate.
Whether you enjoy Savor Sarasota Restaurant Week each year or if you just learned of it now, there is something wonderful to eat for any foodie out there. Some of the restaurants involved in the event this year include The Bijou Café, Chart House, H20 Bistro, Inkanto, Mattison’s City Grille, Mozaic, Sam Snead’s American Grill, The Melting Pot, Ziti, and dozens of others.
Another participating restaurant on the list is Café L’Europe, located at St. Armands Circle on Lido Key. Savor Sarasota’s website features sample menus for participating restaurants. A sample lunch menu from Café L’Europe might offer either Lobster Bisque or the Café L’Europe salad, featuring baby greens, artichokes, hearts of palm, and balsamic vinaigrette dressing for the first course. The second course for lunch might offer the choice of Crepes Du Jour, Sasame Tuna, Chicken Salad L’Europe, or a French Dip sandwich. For the third course, you might have to decide between the homemade Sorbet Du Jour or Profiteroles, a lightly puffed French pastry served with decadent ice cream and chocolate drizzle.
