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.

Very appealing restaurant. Lauren, the hostess, and Karen, the server, could not have been more accommodating. The coconut shrimp appetizer is said to be "world famous", and we agree. The entrees, black grouper and macadamia nut-encrusted snapper, were cooked perfectly and delicious. Prices are a little steep, but not ridiculous. The overall experience was well worth it.
