What a pleasant surprise upon entering this charming and intimate European style restaurant in the heart of Bradenton, FL.
We were greeted by the hostess/owner-manager, Jenn Sayko. She seated us in their cozy lounge. Where we had a chance to peruse their menu.
Even though we didn’t have dinner, we were able to sample a couple items from their dessert menu… the Grande Marnier Creme Brulee’ and the Mousse Au Chocolat. Parfait!
Do yourself a favor and reserve a table. You can thank me later!

If I could rate this restaurant 6 stars I would! The amazing experience started from when I walked! I came alone and my fiance met me. We did not have a reservation which I knew may mean we had to go somewhere else. The seating is limited but worth the reservation or wait. We sat outside and had a glass of wine. We were greeted by Mike and he was so amazing. We asked if we could eat outside rather than going to a table inside. He walked us through a great wine suggestion and a delicious meal experience. The bread was grilled onion foccacia. Perfect! The appetizer we chose was Steak Tartare by recommendation. It was the best Tartare I have had to date. Next we had the Bacon wrapped rabbit. Tender, flavorful and perfect! Then onto dessert. If you love cheesecake get it here! Wow! The Creme Brulee was also delicious and brought out the grand marnier flavor which is often lost when cooking! We will be back!

Had an amazing time with my daughter for my at Chateau 13 downtoen Bradenton yesterday. The ambiance and vibe was 10/10. I had beef tartare w/truffle shavings and tuna tartare both amazing. The crab cake was fantastic (heavy on the crab light on the filler) and my first time trying escargot didn’t disappoint. I ended the meal with PEI mussels and Amiya had the duck. The bartender topped our drinks off so many times I had to tap out. They gave me a chocolate mousse with a candle on the house and it was a perfect way to end the night.

Phenomenal dining experience! Down to the last detail everything was perfect and delicious. The filet mignon was perfectly cooked and melted in my mouth. Our waiter Doug gave 5 star service the entire evening and is very knowledgeable and friendly. (And thank you to Nolan for clearing the table and keeping our waters topped off!)

I Absolutely loved visiting Chateau 13! I had booked a high top in the bar and to my surprise, I even had a plug next to my seat to charge my phone. I ordered the Crab Cakes, Ceasar Salad, Escargot Garlic Bread, and a lovely glass of their French Sauvignon Blanc. It was the Perfect light and elegant meal for the evening! I was attending the Orchestra, so my phone was charged ready to go, and so was I! The staff were all so very kind, and made me feel comfortable, even though I was dining alone. I highly recommend giving Chateau 13 a try very soon! Perhaps, even this weekend? Merci !!!

This is an absolute treasure hidden in the old town area of Bradenton. If you are looking for a delicious five star dining experience, this is the place.
Reservations are required if you really want to eat here! Very few tables, with a small staff.
We were fortunate to have Douglas as our server. He was professional, engaging, friendly, paced our meal perfectly and then marked our anniversary with a delicious dessert .
I had the most perfect filet I have ever had in a restaurant. Chef knows his meat and how to prepare a perfect medium rare.
Mt wife had the duck confit and said that it was better than any she had in France.
The wine list is amazing, with wines from all over Europe. The owner came by the table to make sure that our anniversary was being celebrated appropriately.

Everything about this restaurant is unique and magical. The staff is so spot on with service. Your water glass is always full and food amazing. The wines and craft champagne cocktails are high quality. The food tastes so delicious and not over seasoned. The flourless chocolate torte cake is the best chocolate desert I have ever tasted in America. I highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion. Even if it’s a casual night out or a special occasion. Definitely an adult restaurant and dress casually elegant. I give it 5 stars easily.

Absolutely fabulous experience all around!!! From the moment we entered, we felt like VIPs with great service. We were celebrating a girls weekend and all the staff we came in to contact with were so kind and friendly. They were SO helpful and knowledgeable about all things wine. We shared a few bottles and were very happy with our choices. I ate off the Prix Fixe menu, which had a small bite, appetizer, and entree. Every single bite was so delicious and displayed so beautifully. I would absolutely go back in the future!
