62 Bistrot - An Excellent Savor Sarasota Lunch

Yesterday, my wife and I joined friends for a delicious, 3-course Savor Sarasota lunch for $15 each (excluding tax and tip) at 62 Bistrot, an authentic French Bistrot on Hillview St. in Sarasota (http://www.62bistrot.com/).

My wife's first course was a cold soup of cucumber and peaches. It was good, but not fantastic. I had a very nice French onion soup with melted cheese croutons.

Our main course was a wonderful baguette sandwich with homemade country pâté (pâté de campagne) and cornichons (French pickles), with salad on the side. The sandwich was not only delicious, but very large.)

For dessert, we each had a jam crêpe with raspberry jam. They were very nice.

I also had a nice (large glass) of Pinot Noir for $5.

The normal à la carte cost for my meal at lunch is $19 - a very reasonable price.

Our waitress, who was very nice, had a French accent and spoke French.

62 Bistrot is open Monday - Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for lunch and from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. for dinner.

I had thought that 62 Bistrot was owned by the same folks who own Paris Bistrot in Lakewood Ranch and Island Crêperie in Bradenton Beach. The decor of 62 Bistrot and Paris Bistrot is nearly identical. However, there is no connection indicated on their web sites. In any case, we've enjoyed both.
