Café on St. Armands, Mediterranean Soul in the Heart of Sarasota.

Inspired by our founders' vision of bringing a taste of Europe to Sarasota's shores, our menu now showcases a rich Mediterranean influence, seamlessly woven through every dish and drink.

Small plates and shareable bites, with bold Southern European and Middle Eastern flavors, are served in a hip space where all are welcome. Whether you’re grabbing coffee and pastries at our new gourmet coffee bar...catching up over cocktails at The Wet Bar...or enjoying a relaxed, vibrant meal with friends...Café is the perfect atmosphere for celebrating every moment.

With versatile spaces for gathering, carry-out premium liquors and wines, bespoke picnic baskets, and more, Café on St. Armands is more than a restaurant. It’s Sarasota’s newest destination for good vibes and delicious meals. Oysters Rock Hospitality proudly serves Five Star Fun hospitality at our seven Sarasota-Bradenton area restaurants.

    They were 2 tables completely covered in sun and another 6 tables open in the shade. Instead of seating us at a shade table, they held the shade tables until sundown and made us suffer for an hour. Service was awful. Can we have Cafe Europa please.

    This is no longer Cafe L’Europa. Still great food and drink in the same great spot for dinner. It did not disappoint. Highly recommend it. Looking forward to trying it for breakfast too.

    Fantastic night out at Cafe! Loved the new concept and menu! Especially fun with our big group of 11! Mixed ages, ordered a little of everything and we shared family style! Perfection! The roasted veggie tapas was my personal favorite along with the salad with pomegranate seeds… but also the octopus and steak frites were to die for ❤️

    We loved Cafe Europa and we now love The Cafe. The atmosphere is wonderful and the food delicious! Our server Juan Carlos was terrific. We loved our table and enjoyed our wonderful bottle of wine. Can’t wait until we are back in Florida to visit again. We love our server Juan Carlos and also George! They are both wonderful!

    The staff was exceptional. Simply nice people doing an excellent job under a lot of pressure. Pressure because they were very busy! Food was also great!

    Love the updates to inside. Was disappointed in the menu and food. I prefer the older menu but website was not updated. We were a party of 5 and three people did not enjoy the food. They were out of one of the specials that two people wanted to order at 6pm. French fries were cold and hard. Was also limited for a vegetarian to order a main course besutuful bar area that I will probably return to for cocktails but think I’ll eat elsewhere. Service was very good so that was an upside.
